AI in business: where to start without wasting money on the wrong tool

Many companies feel they should do something with AI. That pressure often leads to buying a tool nobody uses. AI in business should start with a clear problem, not the best looking demo.

Start with pain, not a tool

Ask people which work is repetitive, annoying and time consuming. Let them describe what arrives, what they do with it, where they copy data and who receives the result.

Choose a process with volume

If a process happens twice a year, automation will rarely pay back. If it happens every day or every week, it is worth reviewing.

Keep humans responsible

AI works best for routine, preparation, sorting and suggestions. It should support experts rather than pretend to replace them in decisions that carry responsibility.
