Free AI SOP library
Repeatable AI Processes With a Human Still in Control
Use these free standard operating procedures to plan, research, review, publish, and improve AI-assisted work without handing important decisions to a black box.
Why SOPs come first
A good automation starts with a process you understand.
AI can help organize information, suggest a structure, and handle repetitive transformations. It cannot decide what quality means for your work unless you define it first.
These SOPs give you the manual process, the review point, and the definition of done. Use them as written, adapt them to your work, or automate the stable steps later.
New to the format? Start with What Is an SOP? for a practical explanation of how procedures, checklists, workflows, and automations fit together.
