What can AI automate in Australian industry teams?

Start with repetitive workflow steps your team already performs every week: intake, routing, document preparation, status updates, approvals, and follow-up tracking. The best first pilots keep humans in control of final decisions while AI handles classification, drafting, and handoffs.

How does AI automation work with Microsoft 365 and existing tools?

We typically layer automation onto tools teams already use (M365, Teams, email, CRMs, document stores) so pilots move faster and adoption stays high. New platforms are optional, not the starting point.

What does a 30-60 day pilot include?

One workflow, baseline metrics, supervised rollout, exception handling, and a measurable review of hours saved, rework reduced, and turnaround time improvements before deciding whether to scale.
