AI integration
AI integration built around your team’s work.
A useful AI answer depends on the information around it and the person who can act. Integration starts with the handoff: what needs to move between systems, who may see it, and how the team checks the result.
Map the work before connecting tools
A sales handoff, customer request, or delivery update may cross several tools and people. Start by naming the decision or next action, the records it depends on, and the place where the output will be reviewed. Then identify missing definitions and access limits before connecting any system.
The examples on our homepage show AI preparing information while a person checks it and makes the call. They are illustrations, not connected client systems or reported results.
Keep access and ownership explicit
The people responsible for the process should decide which data is in scope, who approves access, and what happens when the input is incomplete or the output is wrong. A working integration needs a review point, an owner, and a way to pause or correct it.
The specific systems, connection method, safeguards, and handover are determined with the team during scoping. A first conversation can reveal whether a simple workflow change is enough or whether integration is needed.
Bring a real handoff to the first conversation
Describe where the request begins, which records the team checks, who approves the next step and where the result belongs. A CRM account brief, a sales-to-delivery handoff or a recurring report can provide a concrete starting point. Use a redacted example rather than sending confidential records in an initial inquiry.
A scoped integration may include an input map, a connection to agreed systems, a review queue and operating instructions. Each depends on the available interfaces and permissions. Before use, check duplicate inputs, missing records and connection failures; the team needs to know when to retry, correct the source or return to the manual process.
See the illustrative example on the homepage.
Questions worth asking
- Do we need to replace our current tools?
- That is a scoping question, not a starting assumption. First identify the job and where the current handoff breaks down.
- Who approves access to our data?
- The people with authority over each system and data set. An integration should not bypass their permissions or required review.
- What happens when the output is wrong?
- The team needs a visible way to correct or pause the process, review the source information, and decide the next step.
