Process automation
The repetitive work between your systems: re-keying, handoffs, reconciliation, reporting. Replaced by software that just does it. Where a language model genuinely helps, reading documents or drafting the first pass of a reply, I'll use one. Where it doesn't, I won't. AI is a method here, not the product.
For instance: the pile of supplier invoices that took a morning to enter becomes a folder that empties itself: checked, coded, and posted.
