Where AI Actually Helps

The most useful AI features we've shipped aren't flashy: a support assistant that answers from your own documentation, a form that pre-qualifies leads before a human ever sees them, internal tools that summarize what used to take an hour of manual review.

The pattern: start from a specific, measurable problem, and treat the LLM as one component in a larger system, not the whole product.
