How to start with AI without wasting time

Start with one clear bottleneck, not a giant AI strategy document.

The best first AI project is usually boring. That is a good thing. Look for work that happens often, follows a pattern, and takes time away from people who should be doing higher-value work.

Examples include sorting requests, summarizing documents, drafting replies, finding information, or preparing reports.

A small useful system teaches more than a large uncertain plan. Once the team sees the value, the next opportunities become easier to spot.
