AI for Automation & Agents
Use AI to connect repeatable steps into controlled workflows and agents, with explicit permissions, approval gates, logs, and human ownership.
Practical opportunities in Automation & Agents
These are starting points for assisted workflows. The goal is faster, more consistent work—not removing accountability from the people who own the outcome.

Three pilots worth testing first
Start with a small, repeatable version. Define the input, expected output, review owner, and a simple measure of whether the workflow improved.

Turn the problem into a controlled workflow.
Document the current process, systems, inputs, outputs, owners, and failure modes.
Automate predictable steps first with minimum necessary permissions.
Require approval for consequential actions and log what the workflow did.
Measure reliability and value before granting more tools, data access, or autonomy.
Problem guardrail
Use least-privilege access. Require human approval for payments, deletions, customer commitments, regulated decisions, account changes, and other consequential actions.
