AI & Automation — Service Area 08

Intelligent Business Assistants

Assistants that help teams find information, draft work, and complete tasks.

Service overview

An intelligent assistant is useful when it is embedded in the work and grounded in the organization's own information. We design assistants with clear scope, citations, and escalation to a person.

Business Challenges Addressed

What this service exists to solve.

01

Generic assistants with no context

Off-the-shelf tools do not understand the organization's processes, terminology, or data.

02

Unsupported answers

Assistants produce confident responses without sources or a path to verification.

03

No adoption plan

Users try the tool once, do not trust it, and return to their old process.
