Practical AI work in Curaçao
Created by Adrian Dunkley, MaestrosAI, for the LAC AI Playbook.
These are proposed tasks to test, not evidence of local AI adoption or promised financial returns. Start with one document, an identifiable reviewer and an output that can be checked against the source.
Before starting
Use synthetic or approved non-sensitive material. Keep identity documents, medical records, personal financial information, customer files and children’s data out of general chatbots. Check the selected tool’s availability, costs, retention and access controls.
AI must not decide credit, employment, immigration or healthcare outcomes. Legal, clinical, engineering, navigation and emergency decisions belong to qualified people and responsible authorities. A draft is not permission to publish, file, contact anyone or make a payment.
1. Check currency labels in business templates
The Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS) announced the Caribbean guilder’s introduction as legal tender on 31 March 2025. Old templates that describe ANG as the current currency need review; historical records must keep their original units. CBCS, not CIMA, is the central bank’s abbreviation.
Starter prompt
Review these synthetic invoice and price-list templates. Flag every currency label and date for an accountant to check. Separate historical documents from new templates. Do not convert amounts, rewrite issued invoices or infer an exchange rate.
Review: An accountant confirms the applicable currency, tax treatment and software settings. A text edit is not an accounting migration.
2. Willemstad heritage descriptions
UNESCO lists the Historic Area of Willemstad, Inner City and Harbour. Use its description with locally approved interpretation to prepare short visitor texts. Keep historical evidence separate from promotional language.
Starter prompt
Draft three short visitor descriptions from the supplied heritage sources. Give a source for each historical claim. Retain the approved place names. Flag missing image rights and uncertain access details. Do not invent folklore, a safe walking route or a guide's endorsement.
Review: A local heritage reviewer checks meaning and historical accuracy. Have a competent speaker review any requested Papiamentu version; do not substitute an Aruban text without local review.
3. A public-document index for professional services
Create an index of dated official material for a qualified compliance or legal team. This is a retrieval aid, not an assessment of a client’s structure, licence or tax position. Do not reuse the former page’s master/sub-licence gambling instructions as current guidance.
Starter prompt
Index the supplied official documents by issuer, title, topic, publication date and effective date. Quote section references, not legal conclusions. Mark superseded or conflicting documents for counsel. Do not decide eligibility, classify a client, draft a licence application or invent a filing deadline.
Review: Counsel selects authoritative versions and resolves questions. No customer, player, beneficial-owner or banking data is needed for this pilot.
4. Dive-operator inquiry templates
Use the operator’s approved service descriptions to answer basic inquiries about supplied amenities, booking contacts and stated terms. Keep the task separate from dive planning.
Starter prompt
Draft an inquiry reply using only these approved service details. Leave availability, prices and qualifications for staff confirmation when absent. Do not choose dive sites, depths, equipment settings, routes or assess medical fitness. Do not promise a booking.
Review: Qualified staff handle safety and participation questions. Publication and sending require separate approval.
Test the work before expanding it
Compare a small set of representative examples with the existing process. Count checking and correction time, not just drafting time. Include missing facts, conflicting versions and a case that should be referred to a person. Stop if the tool exposes private information, invents evidence or makes an unauthorised commitment.
Record the source versions, dates, reviewer, errors and total cost. Do not turn an improvement in drafting time into a claim about revenue or national productivity. Obtain actual supplier quotes before setting a budget. Keep an offline fallback for essential work.
