Typical AI services
Our AI automation agency offer a variety of services focused on assisting business leaders to streamline specific business processes, improving productivity and achieving more favorable outcomes. We'll examine some areas where AI automation can provide substantial benefits:
Improving workflow efficiency
Our AI automation team focuses on optimizing workflows by analyzing current processes, identifying repetitive tasks and bottlenecks, and implementing AI solutions to automate them.
In this example, we created a workflow that would address our own organization's need to automate our new lead onboarding process. Our website's form capture process was completely manual. When someone fills out a form, we get an email notification and then the business development rep would manually enter all of the captured data into our CRM.
An example of how we push data from our Gmail to a CRM; creating a new client record from form fills.
Healthcare Use Case
We have a primary care client who uses a HIPAA-compliant Jotform tool to capture new patient onboarding information. They receive anywhere from 65 to 115 form submissions a week and have one (1) Full-time Employee (FTE) who spends about 40% of their time responsible for entering this data and making outbound calls to schedule new patients into primary care appointments.
In this scenario, we use AI to capture the HIPAA-compliant JotForm submission, map and populate the fields to their CRM, add a record to our HIPAA-compliant MailChimp account, send out an email to the new patient inviting them to schedule their first primary care appointment. Now our admissions rep will spend their time focused only on those people who do not respond rather than the whole population saving them time and increasing their effectiveness.
Sales Automation
In this last AI automation example, you were exposed to how we can capture data, map it and can kick off tasks and send off communications. We created a process that helps support our sales process.
A lead source for our agency is UpWork. We have a business develop representative who searches the UpWork jobs and responds to job posts. We built a tool that scraps UpWork job posts using their API and RSS feed, catalogs and scores them, posts them to a Google Sheet, writes a description of the job post, writes a cold email introduction for our sales rep - allowing our business development reps to bid on Advertising and SEO projects faster and with more efficiency.
We built a tool that scraps UpWork job posts, catalogs and scores them - allowing our business development reps to bid on Advertising and SEO projects.
Sales Automation Use Case
We have a test prep client who has a similar sales process however they use jobs posted to Tutors.com and Wyzant.com for leads. We are building them a job scraping tool. The same fundamentals work with just a few modifications.

Internal Employee chatbots
Creating an internal employee chatbot can greatly enhance efficiency and productivity. By pairing large language models with knowledge bases, the chatbot can provide instant access to technical documents and manuals, answer common employee questions, and streamline communication within the organization.
Let's use a manufacturing organization as an example. To implement this, the organization can start by compiling all relevant technical documents, manuals, and FAQs into a centralized knowledge base. This knowledge base will serve as the foundation for the chatbot's responses.
Next, integrating a large language model AI technology like GPT-4 will enable the chatbot to understand natural language queries from employees and provide accurate responses based on the information stored in the knowledge base. These models are capable of processing vast amounts of text data and generating human-like responses.
For example, if an employee needs information on a specific manufacturing process or troubleshooting a mechanical procedure, they can simply ask the chatbot using natural language. The chatbot will then search through the knowledge base and provide detailed instructions or relevant documents in real-time.
This internal employee chatbot can significantly reduce the time employees spend searching for information manually, improve overall operational efficiency, and ensure consistency in communication across different departments within the organization.
Overall, leveraging AI technology to create an internal employee chatbot for a manufacturing organization can streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and ultimately drive better business outcomes.
