The best ideas are usually already annoying someone.
AI opportunities rarely arrive as neat project briefs. They show up as repeated reminders, copy-paste work, missing information, late updates, and decisions trapped in one person's head.
01
Follow the drag
Start with the work people complain about. If a task creates delay every week, it deserves a closer look.
Inbox queues
Document chasing
Manual status updates

02
Check the shape
Not every annoying task is ready for AI. The strongest candidates have patterns, source data, and clear review rules.
Repeatable input
Known output
Stable business rule
Clear exception path
03
