AI automation use cases by function
AI automation can take repetitive work off almost every team. Common use cases by function include invoice processing in finance, CV screening in HR, lead qualification in sales, content and reporting in marketing, ticket triage in support, and document processing in operations. The best place to start is wherever your team loses the most time to routine tasks.

How to prioritise use cases
Start where tasks are high-volume, repetitive and rules-guided or admin-heavy — that’s where AI automation pays back fastest. Score candidates on value (time or money saved), effort (how hard to build), and risk (what happens if it’s wrong), then begin with the best-balanced quick win. The AI ROI Calculator helps estimate the value.
