AI and workflows
Which business process should I automate first?
Choose a frequent, well-understood task with clear inputs, a reviewable output, and a manageable consequence if something goes wrong. Start by documenting the current process. If the team cannot agree on what a correct result looks like, automation will reproduce that ambiguity rather than resolve it.
How to approach it
- Map the current steps and repeated manual work.
- Define examples of correct and incorrect outputs.
- Pilot a narrow workflow with a person reviewing results.
Organizing incoming requests into draft categories can be a useful first project. Automatically rejecting customer requests or changing financial records requires a much more careful design and control process.
