The workflows

// 8 production-grade patterns
01

Enterprise-Wide Knowledge Access

AI gives every employee secure access to company knowledge — policies, procedures, prior work — through natural language queries. Replaces SharePoint search and tribal knowledge gaps.

Common StackGlean, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Notion AI · enterprise-grade LLMs with permissions
02

Executive Decision Support

Executives use AI to synthesize data across departments, surface anomalies, and generate decision briefs. Replaces analyst armies and accelerates the C-suite decision cadence.

Common StackHebbia, AlphaSense, custom GPT deployments
03

Contact Center Modernization

AI handles tier-1 customer service across thousands of agents, augments tier-2 with real-time guidance, and provides post-call analytics. The single largest enterprise AI deployment category by spend.

Common StackCresta, Sprinklr AI, Talkdesk · enterprise-tuned LLMs
04

HR Process Automation

AI handles routine HR queries, drafts onboarding plans, screens resumes at scale, and runs performance review summarization. Frees HR teams to focus on strategic work.

Common StackEightfold, Phenom, Workday Skills Cloud · LLMs with HR fine-tuning
05

Procurement and Vendor Management

AI processes RFPs, analyzes vendor contracts, monitors compliance, and surfaces savings opportunities across global spend. Standard in enterprises with $1B+ procurement spend.

Common StackZip, Ivalua AI, SAP Ariba AI · contract-aware LLMs
06

Field Service Optimization

AI dispatches technicians based on skills, parts inventory, and route optimization. Augments field workers with real-time diagnostics and AR guidance.

Common StackServiceNow AI, Salesforce Field Service, Aquant
07

Supply Chain Anomaly Detection

AI monitors global supply chain signals — supplier health, logistics disruptions, geopolitical risks — and flags issues before they hit operations.

Common StackProject44, FourKites, Everstream Analytics
08

Internal Audit and Risk Management

AI processes audit trails, flags anomalies in financial transactions, and drafts initial audit reports. Augments rather than replaces internal audit teams.
