EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Find below some examples of how AI can transform everyday tasks!
1. Write and send emails:
Before: The employee spent 15-20 minutes writing a business email.
Now: Using AI, it can create a draft in 2-3 minutes, which it then adjusts and improves.
Now: Using AI, it can create a draft in 2-3 minutes, which it then adjusts and improves.
2. Convert handwritten data to digital format:
Before: An employee needed 1-2 hours to transfer handwritten details of 100 participants to an Excel file.
Now: Using AI for optical character recognition (OCR), the same task can be completed in less than 10 minutes.
Now: Using AI for optical character recognition (OCR), the same task can be completed in less than 10 minutes.
3. Create presentations:
Before: Preparing a professional 20-slide presentation required 3-4 hours of work.
Now: With AI tools, a basic framework can be created in 15-20 minutes, which the employee then enriches and customizes.
Now: With AI tools, a basic framework can be created in 15-20 minutes, which the employee then enriches and customizes.
4. Dictation and transcription of text:
Before: An administrator dictated a 500-word report to a secretary, who then took about 30-40 minutes to type, correct, and format.
Now: By using AI tools for speech recognition and transcription, the executive can dictate the report directly into digital format, and the secretary only needs 5-10 minutes to check the accuracy and make minor corrections (speed improvement by about 75-80%). In addition, AI can help improve text quality by suggesting alternative wordings or pointing out possible errors in sentence structure. This not only speeds up the process but can also improve the overall quality of the generated text.

This not only speeds up the process but can also improve the overall quality of the generated text.
5. Create marketing and ad content:
Before: A marketing team needed about 2-3 days to create a social media campaign with 10 posts, including text, images, and a short video.
Now: Using AI tools, the same team can complete the campaign in about 4-6 hours. Here's how:
a) Text generation: AI can produce drafts of the 10 posts in less than 30 minutes, which the team then processes and improves.
b) Image creation: Using AI tools for image creation, the team can produce unique, relevant images for each post in about 1 hour.
c) Video creation: With AI tools for video editing, the team can create a short 30-second promotional video in about 2 hours, including selecting shots, adding effects, and creating subtitles.
d) Optimisation: AI can analyze previous campaigns and suggest improvements to targeting and timing of posts, reducing planning time by about 50%.

d) Optimisation: AI can analyze previous campaigns and suggest improvements to targeting and timing of posts, reducing planning time by about 50%.
6. Sales process optimization:
Before: A salesperson took an average of 2-3 hours to prepare for a meeting with a lead, including researching the customer's company, analyzing previous interactions, and preparing a personalized proposal.
Now: Using AI tools, the same seller can complete this process in about 30-45 minutes. Here's how:
a) Customer research: AI can gather and analyze data from various sources (company website, social media, financial reports) and provide a summary of key information in less than 5 minutes.
b) Analysis of past interactions: AI tools can quickly analyze customer communication history, including emails, phone calls and meetings, providing important insights and trends in about 10 minutes.
c) Proposal preparation: Based on customer data and previous successful proposals, AI can create a personalized draft proposal in about 15 minutes, which the seller can then customize and improve.
d) Anticipate possible questions/objections: AI can analyze previous meetings and anticipate possible customer questions or objections, helping the seller to better prepare in about 10 minutes.
After the meeting, AI can help quickly write a summary, plan next steps, and predict the likelihood of success of the sale.
This approach not only dramatically reduces preparation time (from 2-3 hours to less than an hour), but also improves the quality of preparation and increases the chances of a successful sale. Salespeople can devote more time to meaningful communication with customers and less time to administrative tasks.

- The department can now handle 300 queries per day, with the same number of staff.
8. HR hiring process optimization:
Before: An HR department took an average of 4 weeks to complete a hiring process, including analyzing resumes, scheduling interviews, and evaluating candidates.
Now: Using AI tools:
- The initial CV analysis is done automatically, reducing the selection time of suitable candidates from 1 week to 1 day.
- An AI system automatically schedules interviews, saving about 5 hours of work per position.
- Video and voice analysis tools help evaluate interviews by providing objective data.
- The overall hiring process is reduced to 2 weeks, improving the candidate experience and allowing the company to hire talent faster.

9. OPTIMIZING MEETINGS WITH AI USE:
Before: A typical weekly team meeting lasted 90 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes for agenda preparation and 30 minutes for drafting and distributing minutes. Often, there were topics that weren't covered due to lack of time.
Now: Using AI tools for meeting management:
a) Preparation: AI analyzes previous minutes, current projects, and emails to automatically suggest an agenda, reducing preparation time to 5 minutes.
b) During the meeting:
- AI transcribes the discussion in real-time.
- Automatically highlights key points and decisions.
- Reminds the team to focus on the agenda when the discussion deviates.
- Suggests relevant information or data when needed.
c) After the meeting:
- AI automatically creates a summary and minutes in less than 5 minutes.

10. Optimizing Document Analysis and Reporting with AI:
Before: A typical weekly report analysis took 4 hours, including 1 hour for reading multiple documents, 1 hour for data extraction and chart creation, 1 hour for trend analysis and predictions, and 1 hour for summarizing findings. Often, important details were missed due to time constraints and human error.
Now: Using AI tools for document analysis and reporting:
a) Preparation:
* AI scans and indexes all relevant documents, reports, and data sources.
* It identifies key themes and topics across multiple documents in minutes.
b) During the analysis:
* AI reads and processes all documents simultaneously, extracting relevant data.
* It automatically generates charts and visualizations based on the extracted data.
* The system identifies trends and patterns, suggesting potential predictions.
* It highlights anomalies or discrepancies in the data for human review.
* AI cross-references information from multiple sources to ensure accuracy.
c) Report generation:
* AI creates a comprehensive summary of findings in less than 10 minutes.
* It generates custom charts and infographics tailored to the report's needs.
* The system provides data-driven predictions and forecasts.
* It automatically formats the report according to predefined templates.
* AI suggests action items based on the analysis results.
Result:
* The total time for document analysis and report creation is reduced from 4 hours to 1 hour.
* The volume of documents and data that can be processed increases significantly.
* The accuracy of data extraction and analysis improves, reducing human error.
* Trends and patterns are identified more consistently and quickly.
* Predictions and forecasts are based on a more comprehensive analysis of historical data.
* Reports are more visually appealing and easier to understand due to AI-generated charts and infographics.
* The human analyst can focus on interpreting results and making strategic decisions rather than on manual data processing.
* Consistency in reporting improves, as AI follows the same rigorous process each time.
* The system continuously learns and improves its analysis based on feedback and new data.
This AI-driven approach significantly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of document analysis and reporting, allowing for more informed decision-making based on comprehensive, accurate, and timely insights.
