Key takeaway

AI applied to a broken workflow produces faster chaos. Map the handoffs first.

Before choosing a model, write down the trigger, owner, decision points, exceptions and record of truth.

Once the process is clear, automation can remove repetition and AI can be added where interpretation genuinely helps.

A process map should show the happy path and the exceptions: missing data, customer replies, opt-outs, approvals and failures. Those are the moments that decide whether automation earns trust.

The best first automation is often smaller than the team expected, but clearer and easier to improve.
