Many businesses feel pressure to 'do something with AI' without a clear idea of where to start. The best first step is usually not technical at all: list the repetitive tasks that take your team the most time.
Good first candidates are tasks involving reading, summarising or answering questions from documents — customer FAQs, internal policies, proposals or invoices.
Start with a small, contained pilot, measure whether it saves time, and keep a human in the loop. If it works, expand. If not, you've learned cheaply.
