Short version: your organisation is working out which AI tools are worth paying for, and your answers give you a say in the tools you use.
Why it matters to youLink to this section
Your organisation is paying for AI tools, possibly several of them: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Notion AI, and the list keeps growing. Each one costs money for every person who has it.
Most organisations can't yet say which of those tools are making a difference. They might suspect that one tool is popular and another mostly ignored, but they don't know, so they keep paying for both. Paying for tools nobody uses takes money from the things that would help you most: better tools, and time to learn them.
Rather than a long annual form, your organisation asks a short pulse on a schedule it sets, with the few questions that matter. The AI Pulse comes round three times a week. You can answer any pulse in your AI Adoption Portal, and with the browser extension it can also appear on the page you have open when it's due.
What's in it for youLink to this section
- Tools that work. When the answers show a tool is wasting people's time, your organisation can drop it. When a tool is valued, it can give it to more people.
- Learning where you need it. When you say you didn't use a tool, the next question asks why. The options include "I forgot it was available", "It was too slow or clunky" and "I didn't trust its output", and each one points at a different fix.
- The AI policies, any time. Sign in to your AI Adoption Portal to read your organisation's AI policies, see what changed in the latest version, and download them as a PDF.
What you'll seeLink to this section
A pulse, as a small card in the bottom-right corner of the page you have open.
Visiting ChatGPT or Claude is not what brings it up. Your pulses come round on a schedule, wherever you happen to be working: your email, a document, a news site. The one exception is your browser's own pages (settings and the extension store), where no extension can show anything.
The AI Pulse asks:
- Did you use ChatGPT today?
- Roughly how much time did ChatGPT save you today?
- How well did ChatGPT perform for your tasks today? (a slider, 1 to 10)
- Anything to add? (optional)
If you didn't use it, it asks one question about why instead, then the optional comment. It takes about thirty seconds.
A tool's notice. When you open an AI tool's website, the extension also shows what your organisation has decided about it, once for each tool and again if the decision changes.
If a tool wasted your time, say soLink to this section
There's an option in the time-saved question called "I lost time because of it". If a tool wasted your morning, say so. A low score is as useful as a high one: it's how a tool that wastes people's time gets dropped.
Privacy in one paragraphLink to this section
Each pulse tells you before its first question whether your answers are anonymous or identifiable. When a pulse is anonymous, your name isn't shown with your answers to anyone, admins included. In a small group, or from something you write in a comment, someone may still be able to work out an answer is yours. Identifiable pulses say so before you start, and show your name with your answers. Your own answers are in your AI Adoption Portal. Full detail: Who sees my answers?.

- New here? Start with Installing the browser extension.
- Got the extension already? Allow it on all sites, which is step 3 of that same article. It's what lets a pulse appear on the page you're working on.
- Waiting on a pulse that hasn't arrived? Why hasn't a pulse appeared?
- Curious about privacy? Who sees my answers? is the most important one to read.
