Taking the assessment

How the assessment works: quick tapped questions on your phone that you can pause and continue later.

Know Your AI is a set of quick questions about how you use AI tools at work and what your company’s rules say. You answer each one with a tap. It is built for a phone. You can stop partway and finish later.

In this guide:

• Starting it
• Know Your AI, step by step
• Resume and retake
• What you get

Starting it

1. Sign in with your work email. See how do I sign in? if you are not in yet.
2. Open Assessments. You see the ones your company runs.
3. Check the line above Start. It reads your name, your role, your team and your company, from the list your company gave us.
4. Press Start. It opens the first question.

The assessment never asks you for your role or your team. Your company holds those, and Flow reads them. If one of them is wrong, ask a company admin to fix it on the people list. See your profile.

If your company has not given you a role or a team yet, you cannot start. The page says so instead of opening the assessment. Ask whoever set Flow up at your company to fill them in, then open the link again.

Know Your AI, step by step

Know Your AI is the short one. Almost every question is a tap. You type only to add a task of your own, to name a tool that is not listed, or to add an optional example.

The tools you use: which of the AI tools on your company’s list you use for work. Tick every one you use, or None of these. For a tool that is not listed, tick Something else and type its name.

How often you use each one: one question for each tool you ticked, from Every day to Less often.

Your tasks: a list of tasks people in your job often do. Tick the ones that are part of your job, up to five. If one is missing, press Add a task and type it. The list comes from the role your company holds for you. See job titles and roles.

Each task, last week: for each task you picked, you say how you did it last week, from AI did it, and I checked it to I did it all myself. Then you say how much of your time it took. If you did not do it last week, pick I didn’t do it last week and the time question is skipped.

Where you want help: which one of your tasks you would most like help with, or None of them.

Your company sees these answers as totals, never next to your name, and only once five or more people have answered. It sees how many people do each task on the list. How many want help with a task shows only once five people picked it, and how it went and how long it took only once five people did it last week. A task you type is counted, but its words are never shown to anyone.

Four questions about what you do with AI: each asks about a real moment, like last week or the last time an answer was not good enough. Each has four options, and you tap the one that fits. The options are written for your job, from the role your company holds for you, so read them before you pick. See job titles and roles for where those job descriptions come from and how a company admin corrects one.

Under each of the four is an optional box, Add an example. Type one sentence about a real piece of work if you have one. It is your own write-up that shows it back to you. Your manager never sees it, and it never changes your answer or your level. Plenty of people leave it empty.

A few everyday situations about your company’s rules: each one describes a moment at work and asks What should you do? One of the options is what your company’s rule says. If you do not know, pick I’m not sure, which is always the last option. Your first tap is your answer: it is saved straight away and you cannot change it. Your company’s rule then shows under the options, with where it comes from. Press Next situation to go on, or Continue after the last one. How many situations you get depends on the rules your company has set, so some companies get none. If your company has no AI rules, you are not asked any. A round on the earlier version of Know Your AI asks two questions here instead: where you would take a wrong answer that already reached a customer, and which kinds of material are allowed into a tool where you work.

Two last questions about the rules: whether you could find your company’s AI rules right now, and how often people on your team put work into AI tools that are not approved. The second one is about your team, not you. It only ever shows for groups of five or more, never next to your name. If your company has no AI rules, the first asks whether you think it has any, and the second asks about free or personal AI tools instead.

One about training: whether you have had any training on using AI at work.

Resume and retake

• Resume: if you leave partway, the assessment saves your place. Open it again. Press Resume.
• Retake: from a finished report you can take it again. A retake replaces your old one. You will not end up with two. There is only ever one current write-up. You cannot retake while your round is Waiting for results. A retake replaces the write-up it follows, and that one has not been read by anybody yet, so it stays as it is until your company sends the results.
• Start another assessment takes you back to your Assessments list if your company runs more than one.

When a round closes

A round has a date it stops taking answers on. The email you got names it, and Flow sends one reminder before it if your company asked for one.

• If you are partway through when it closes: finish. You started inside the round, so you keep your write-up.
• If you have not started when it closes: you cannot start. The screen says the date the round closed.
• Your old write-up stays: it is on your report page whatever the round does. See your write-up.

What you get

When you finish, you see a thank you. Your write-up does not open yet.

Your company sends everyone’s results together. An admin presses Send results on the round, and everyone who finished gets an email with their own link at the same moment. Until then, Assessments and Write-ups show your run as Waiting for results, and the link does not open for anyone, you included.

Your managers and your company’s admins wait with you. Until that press they see that you finished and nothing about how you did. They never see what you wrote, whenever they read it. See what can my manager see?.

If you finish after your company has sent the results, you get your write-up straight away: the email arrives when you finish, and the link opens.

What is in it depends on which assessment you took. See your write-up.
