Scoping AI integration before you buy more tools
Before adding another subscription, map one workflow end to end. Identify where AI assists a human decision vs. automates a step entirely. A two-week assessment often saves months of unused licenses.
When technical support matters more than another pilot
Pilots succeed in demos and fail in production when nobody owns maintenance. Plan for break-fix, API changes, and documentation before you call a pilot "done."
Connecting AI APIs to tools you already use
Start with authentication and data boundaries. List which fields may leave your environment. Test error handling before happy-path demos.
