Overview
Build AI automation by combining workflow design, AI decision points, and operational controls rather than automating entire processes blindly.
Build Process
- map current workflow and identify highest-friction steps
- select AI-enabled decisions with measurable business impact
- design exception handling and human escalation
- implement integration, logging, and policy controls
- measure throughput, quality, and cost before scaling
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- automating unstable or poorly defined workflows
- no governance model for high-risk exceptions
- success metrics focused on activity not outcomes
- ignoring downstream process dependencies
