AI Use Cases That Survive Production

Most AI catalogs list what models *could* do. The harder question is what survives customer trust and cost. ## Usually survives - Document Q&A with clear sources (RAG + citations) - Drafting assistants with human edit - Classification / extraction with evals - Internal agents with read-heavy tools + approval on writes ## Usually dies - Fully autonomous customer email without review - Agents with shell access “just for speed” - One model for every task with no routing - Features without a success metric Start where data quality and feedback loops are strong. Expand only after evals and budgets hold. --- **Ready to put this into practice?** [Send a brief](/contact) — we’ll map Starter, Squad, ODC, or an Agent product sprint to your next 90 days.
