Why the combination of AI and automation will change the way you work

If you've already had experience with AI, you'll know that it's a handy assistant for certain tasks, such as writing code or creating content. But how can you make sure you're getting the full benefits of AI by deploying it across your organization?

The answer is automation.

Imagine the following: You have attended a trade fair and take back a lot of contacts in different formats. I think we all know what the next few days will look like...

How about this: all contacts, regardless of format, are recorded, categorized and entered into deals in your CRM within a very short time and automatically receive the desired information while the corresponding tasks and contacts are available to your team?

These are not the efforts of an over-organized, over-caffeinated employee, but a combination of AI and automation.

Connecting your AI tools to the rest of your technology stack (be it through chatbots, AI assistants or workflows) is a game changer. It doesn't just eliminate the tasks that clutter your day (and your mind). It's the smartest way to scale your impact and bring real value to your business. Here's how.

AI gives you automation superpowers. And we make it easy for you to turn your ideas into workflows so your IT can do more work for you. It prevents you (and your apps) from working in isolation

Every app you use at work has its purpose. (They wouldn't be part of your core technology stack if they didn't fulfill it.)
The problem, however, is that each tool represents its own task for us. Especially if the apps in your stack don't "talk" (or integrate) automatically. All the data stored in one app, for example, doesn't get into another without manual transfer.

This may not be a big problem at first. But as your technology stack grows, keeping track of the tools your team uses and synchronizing the data between them (without error) is no easy task. Downloading a .CSV file and then uploading it to another platform can quickly become your main preoccupation. The same goes for the processes involving your AI tools.

As an example: I've used AI tools like ChatGPT to create blog article structures, write product descriptions, and come up with blog ideas. But I don't actually spend any time in ChatGPT's interface talking to the bot. I let AI automations and my other apps do the talking for me.

By connecting my apps to ChatGPT, I can create simple or complex workflows that allow these apps to communicate with each other and perform actions - without human intervention.

When your AI tools and the rest of your technology stack work together, we can help you build better processes that automatically pass information from one app to another - eliminating the time you spend switching between tools and avoiding transcription errors. It helps bring your automation ideas to life.

By bringing AI into the workflows you use every day, you can create smarter workflows that solve your unique business problems. That's a given.

But what if you're struggling to bring your automation ideas to life or aren't sure which business processes you should automate in the first place?

Our solution is to help you identify the right workflows and then develop these solutions for you. This means that even if you have virtually no automation experience, you can use AI to refine and visualize your business-critical processes and get support and recommendations every step of the way.

This makes automation so much more actionable because you can describe a workflow or problem to us in the simplest terms and talk to us to then design and build the solution - including the right apps for the job.

This makes automation accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical background. By letting AI do the heavy lifting, you're moving your business forward in ways that were never possible before. It helps you scale your business and your impact faster

Automation not only streamlines your AI processes. It also speeds them up.

We all know that as your business grows, so will the volume of data you process. Trying to understand and then learn from growing information could keep you and your team busy for weeks, months, maybe forever.

Using AI and automation together creates a system that automatically collects this data, recognizes certain patterns and then provides insights in an accelerated way. And conversely, because you can train AI on your own knowledge sources, it can follow tailored instructions to summarize, categorize and share information at scale - all without impacting your team's personal productivity.

And that doesn't just apply to your overall business strategy. AI can help you improve your customer experience, marketing and sales, while automation can help you scale it.

By using AI tools, you can create solutions that answer queries and trigger business transactions (even when your team is not there). You can set up workflows and AI assistants that write personalized sales emails and send them at scale. Instead of sending hasty emails when you notice a new lead in your pipeline, you automatically reach 100 times more people as soon as they show interest.

In the business world, where the speed with which leads are responded to can make the difference between a purchase and a missed opportunity, this is a game changer.

From handling multiple customer inquiries to creating marketing campaigns that reach a wider audience, you can give your business ascension superpowers - even if you have limited resources.

Let's be clear: AI and automation should not replace every single aspect of your work. What they should do is change how you work. By trusting AI and automation to deal with time-consuming, monotonous tasks (like sifting through data or searching your email inbox), you can move on to higher-value tasks that require higher-level thinking - and the more complex problems that arise in your business.

Ultimately, by using AI and automation in combination, employees can be happier and more productive, which will have a positive impact on your company's P&L. Harness the power of AI and automation.
