Automating a Business Process With AI: Where to Start
Updated on 28 August 2026 2 min read
Automating a business process with artificial intelligence requires a clear method. The steps to get started effectively.
Automating a business process with artificial intelligence can generate significant time savings, provided you follow a clear method rather than jumping into the technology without prior scoping.
Identify the right process to automate
Not all processes are equally suited to AI automation. The best candidates are generally repetitive, time-consuming tasks based on identifiable rules or large volumes of text content: sorting and classifying documents, responding to frequent emails, extracting information from invoices, summarizing meeting notes.
Assess feasibility before getting started
- Do you have enough data or examples to train or configure a solution?
- Does the process follow relatively stable rules, or does it vary a lot from case to case?
- What level of error is acceptable for this process once automated?
Start with a pilot project
Rather than automating an entire process at once, it's recommended to start with a limited, measurable scope and compare the results with the existing manual method. This approach allows you to adjust the solution progressively and limit risk in case of disappointing results.
Support change among the teams involved
Automating a business process often changes the daily work of the teams involved. Involving these teams from the scoping phase makes adoption easier and provides valuable feedback for improving the solution.
