Start by mapping the work
List the tasks your team repeats each week: copying information, reviewing documents, answering questions or sending follow-ups. For each task, identify what starts it, what information it needs and who completes it.
Time spent is only part of the picture. Consider the consequences of an error, the approvals required and the sensitivity of the information involved.
Not every task needs AI
A task with clear rules may only need conventional automation, such as saving a form submission in a CRM. Interpreting a message or selecting relevant information from a document may benefit from AI.
Choose technology around the requirement rather than its popularity. Be specific about which part of the work AI would improve.
Choose a bounded first workflow
Choose a task with accessible information, observable results and a practical way to correct mistakes. Improving one process carefully is a useful starting point.
Test with realistic examples before deployment. Include incomplete inputs, incorrect information and exceptions as well as routine cases.
Use results to decide what comes next
Review task completion, the frequency of human intervention and how the team’s work changes. Comparing these with the original process helps you assess whether the system is useful.
