Where AI and automation really pay off, and where they do not yet
Not every process should be automated. A few simple questions help you find the work where AI and automation save real time and money.
AI and automation are everywhere right now. The businesses getting real value are not automating everything. They are choosing carefully.
Good candidates for automation
- Repetitive, rules based tasks done many times a week.
- Copying data between systems that do not talk to each other.
- Reports that someone builds by hand every month.
- Regression testing that eats up every sprint.
Think twice when
- The process itself is unclear or changes often.
- Mistakes would be costly and hard to spot.
- Nobody will own and maintain the automation once it is live.
