One thing that becomes clear when looking at AI adoption across industries:
Most of the value doesn’t come from new tools.
It comes from removing friction in existing workflows.
Summarizing documents.
Extracting insights from data.
Drafting communication.
Supporting decisions.
The interesting question isn’t “What can AI do?”
It’s:
“Where in this workflow does human cognitive effort get repeated unnecessarily?”
That’s often where AI has the most impact.
