Start with the expensive workflow
The best AI integration isn’t the flashiest — it’s the one attached to your biggest recurring cost. Support triage, lead qualification, onboarding, content production. Find the workflow you pay for every single day, and put the model there.
Design the workflow, then add the model
A model is a component, not a product. We map the end-to-end flow first — inputs, guardrails, hand-offs to humans — then drop the model into the step where judgment is the bottleneck. The result feels less like a chatbot and more like the software just got smarter.
Good AI integration is invisible. It just feels like everything got faster.
Instrument from day one
Every AI feature needs a feedback loop: what did it answer, was it right, what did the human do next. We ship with evaluation baked in so the system improves instead of quietly drifting.
