Priya, an instructional designer at a regional hospital network.

Priya starts Wednesday with a stack of interview notes for a new clinic manager onboarding course. The notes are messy, so she opens ChatGPT and pastes the de-identified comments. She asks for learner themes, worries, and three follow-up questions for the two nurse managers she interviewed.

Next she opens Claude and asks for draft learning objectives for a short module on scheduling. She names the audience, the setting, and the standard the hospital uses, then edits the objectives so they are measurable.

After lunch she uses Gemini to write quiz items and a rubric that match those objectives. She checks each item against the objectives and removes one that tests policy trivia instead of the skill.

Before she leaves, she asks ChatGPT to review an old compliance deck for gaps, outdated wording, and reading level. With the time she won back, she walks a subject matter expert through the plan and still gets home for dinner.
