Direct answer
Operations teams should start AI agents on intake, routing, document-to-system updates, and status sync - always with exception queues and human gates on irreversible writes.
High-fit use cases
Parse inbound requests into trackers. Validate required fields. Draft status updates. Flag anomalies.
Low-fit early use cases
Unsupervised vendor payments. Unreviewed legal commitments. Silent deletion of records.
Design pattern
Standard path automated. Non-standard path to humans. Full log trail.
Pilot suggestion
One document type or one intake channel first.
