This is how I want them to use AI in the coming game: give me a prompt to ask questions about my civilisation and everyone else's.

* Which one of my industrial zones has no workshops yet? * What luxury resources am I receiving via trade? And with which players? * What bonuses am I getting from the wonders I've built?

I can get all that information myself, but it takes a lot of clicking around - provided that I remember where to source it. Make it a Q&A, and playing the game will feel much less like working with spreadsheets.
