Getting ready for AI
We identify a useful use case, the data it needs and who should have access. We check identity, permissions and data flow before adding another tool.
AI & automation We find one useful process and connect the data, access and systems behind it.
We start with a limited pilot that has a named owner, and we evaluate the result together before deciding what should scale.
How a first pilot is set up
01 Approved data Data from sources you already trust
→ 02 Access rules Access follows existing permissions
→ 03 Model or agent Used for one clearly defined task
→ 04 Human review A person approves before anything is done
Working with AI
Cloud, private or local
Some information should not leave your own environment. We choose the deployment based on how sensitive the data is and what the workflow needs.
Automation and integration
We connect applications and approved information, with permissions, logging and human approval built in, and agree who runs it afterwards.
Security is built into every pilot. Read about AI security
Where a pilot often starts
Finding information
An assistant that searches approved internal documents and shows each person only what they are allowed to see.
Routine writing
Drafts or summaries for one specific process, always reviewed by a person.
Handovers between systems
We look at repeated manual steps, and agree what can be automated and where a person should approve.
Before wider rollout
We look at usefulness, failure cases, cost and who will run it.
In industry, maritime and energy, a first pilot is often about reports, searching procedures and documentation, or handovers between operations and administration.
An example
The procedure nobody can find
Without an assistant
A technician needs the procedure for a job that is done once a year. It is somewhere in three systems and a shared folder. The fastest way is to ring the colleague who did it last time.
With an assistant
In the pilot, an assistant searches the approved documents and answers with a link to the source. Each person sees only what they already have access to. When the pilot ends, we go through the answers with you and decide whether to go on.
What you are left with
A working pilot
One process on approved data, with a named owner and access for the people who need it.
A written evaluation
What worked, where it failed, what it cost and who would run it.
A recommendation
Whether to scale it, change it or stop, and what the next step would take.
