Revised Synopsis: Detailed Account of Events
Get ready to leap into the future, mate! AI automation is the buzzword everywhere, and it's high time your organization hopped on the bandwagon. AI automation lets you use technology and artificial intelligence to automate repetitive tasks typically handled by humans. Combining machine learning, natural language processing, algorithms, and various AI methods, you can empower systems to take over those tedious human tasks, either by guiding the individual doing the task or entirely automating it.
Here's how your organization can cash in on AI automation's benefits:
Benefits of AI Automation
AI automation brings a ton of value to businesses in various ways. Let's explore some of these advantages:
Cut Costs
Who doesn't love a good cost savings? With AI automation, you're automating repetitive human tasks, which can help reduce labor costs. The individuals who once handled these tasks can move on to more valuable duties within the organization. For instance, consider a scenario where you run a product business and receive customer service calls about product warranties, functionality, shopping online, or anything else. In the past, you might have had someone who reviewed all these customer messages, routing them to the appropriate department for a response.
With AI automation, you could send these communications to an engine to search for specific information, such as the word "warranty," and then automatically route these messages to the correct department. These previously responsible individuals can now tackle higher-value tasks.
By integrating AI automation into your organization, you can allocate resources more intelligently and effectively.
Scale Up (or Down) with Ease
In every industry, work volumes ebb and flow. With AI automation in your processes, you can effortlessly scale up or down to handle growing or decreasing volumes without significant changes in your costs or resources. Think of this as being particularly useful during times of rapid growth or fluctuations in demand. As a Property & Casualty (P&C) insurer, for example, you'll experience increased volume during weather events like tornadoes or floods (known as CATs in the biz). In the past, you might have needed to hire additional staff or ramp up your computer power to cope with the increased volume. With an automated claims process that takes care of repetitive tasks, you can dodge the extra personnel costs and process claims more efficiently.
Enhance Customer Service
How many times have you hated having to call a bank or software vendor and push through a series of numbers to reach a person who might (or might not) help? Bid farewell to such frustrations with the help of chatbots and virtual assistants that can get you to the correct person faster. We live in a digital age, and many folks simply want their questions answered as quickly and efficiently as possible without having to deal with a human.
This approach can also be used to be a first responder for customer inquiries and support requests. If the customer can't immediately be helped by AI-powered agents, they can be queued to a customer service agent for additional assistance. Either way, faster response times and improved customer satisfaction are on the horizon. And doesn't Camunda have a chatbot of its own? Meet "Chatmunda"!
Increase Efficiency
As you can imagine, if you can automate repetitive tasks, you can streamline your processes. This leads to reduced time and effort required to complete entire processes, which in turn brings other benefits like faster turnaround times for customers, increased productivity, and, you guessed it, still more cost savings.
You can start working on improving your service level agreements (SLAs) and KPIs (key performance indicators) by increasing the efficiency of your processes. These metrics offer a clear, transparent window into your business' performance, helping you identify strengths and areas for improvement. Focusing your efforts on improvement and implementing specific enhancements can have a positive impact on overall process performance.
Drive Innovation
Your organization is probably busy exploring strategic initiatives to boost innovation and gain competitive advantages. With the assistance of AI automation to automate routine tasks, you can free up human resources to focus on being more creative and developing more strategic initiatives.
Reduce Errors
No one's perfect, but AI can help minimize human errors. By minimizing inaccuracies, you can enhance the quality of your work, improve customer satisfaction, and ensure more accurate data.
Analyze Data More Effectively
Without scrutinizing and interpreting your data, you can't get a good grasp of what's happening within and outside your business. AI algorithms are designed to analyze large amounts of data and provide valuable insights. With this information, you can make better decisions for your organization.
For example, let's say you operate a Michigan brewery and want to trim costs while introducing new products. By looking at which beers are ordered most often and comparing that to buyer demographics, the season, type of beer, and so on, you can make more informed decisions about the types of new beers that might sell best.
To process this data using AI models, you might examine the top 25 beers in your state in terms of alcohol by volume (ABV) and style. Reviewing results, you can see which types of beers appeal to the majority of customers in your demographic. You can then run this information through AI to determine the ideal beer to offer your target demographic.
This analysis might involve something more horizontal, like analyzing how rapidly you can process orders or automobile claims or identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement. Using the outcomes of this type of analysis can guide you to implement AI automation to address bottlenecks.
Make Predictions and Informed Decisions
Taking data analysis a step further, you can use information from your business processes, associated data, website analytics, and so forth, to make predictions about your business and make decisions based on those predictions. These predictions could be based on patterns or trends discovered in the data.
Let's imagine you manage a pet adoption agency and want to speed up the pet adoption process. After some analysis, you might discover that adoptions typically take 30 days or even 100 days.
Reviewing trends, you might find that cats or dogs are adopted faster, that the pet's age matters, or that certain words and pictures are used more effectively in pet descriptions. Running data analysis, predictive models, and sentiment analysis on the descriptions used for each adoptable pet, you might notice that adding more positive phrases like "Loves being outside," "Enjoys children," "Does well with cats," or "Toilet trained" can help accelerate adoptions.
With these predictions and analysis of historical data, you can make more informed decisions and be more proactive.
Improve Risk Management
AI automation is often used for risk identification and control by monitoring data for any irregularities that might signal potential fraud. These findings can instantly alert stakeholders, allowing them to address the issue promptly.
For instance, if you manage temporary assistance for needy individuals, it's crucial to verify the authenticity of each applicant. Using AI automation, you can look for similarities in applications, such as the same address under different names, the same personal details but different identification cards, or anything else that might suggest fraud. When such instances are identified, the application can be flagged for review by the appropriate individuals.
So there you have it – a rundown of the many benefits that AI automation can bring to your organization!
