Adults & Professionals · Careers & Pathways · ~16 min read
The premise
AI can draft AI solutions-architect discovery brief memos that compress customer interviews into requirements, constraints, and unspoken risks.
What AI does well here
- Restructure interview transcripts into theme clusters with quotes
- Draft an unspoken-risks list inferred from hesitation patterns in the transcript
What AI cannot do
- Decide which executive sponsor actually controls the budget
- Predict which proof-of-concept will turn into a contract
Practice this safely
Use a real but low-risk workflow from your day. Treat AI as a drafting and organizing layer, then verify the output before anyone relies on it.
- 1Ask AI to explain customer brief in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "AI Solutions Architect Discovery Brief Memos: Listening Before Designing" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check solutions architecture against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
