What AI Can & Can't Do

Keep these in mind so you don't accidentally over-promise to customers.

StrengthsAI excels at

  • High-volume document processing — Reading hundreds of forms, digitizing data
  • Routine inquiries — FAQ, helpdesk, chatbots
  • Search & summarization — Extracting key info from massive documents
  • Repetitive task automation — Data entry, aggregation, report generation
  • Pattern recognition — Anomaly detection, classification, prediction
  • Multilingual support — Translation, multi-language customer service

LimitationsAI alone struggles with

  • 100% accuracy-critical decisions — Legal judgments, final medical diagnoses
  • Real-time latest information — Events after training data (mitigable)
  • Emotional nuance — Final-stage complaint handling, negotiation
  • True zero-to-one creativity — Entirely new strategy (can assist though)
  • Physical tasks — Can't move objects

CautionWhen talking to customers

  • "AI = full automation" → ❌ Human oversight remains in some areas
  • "AI can do anything" → ❌ Narrower scope = higher accuracy
  • "Deploy immediately" → △ PoC (2-4 weeks) → Production (1-3 months) is typical
  • "No data needed" → △ Some business data/documents are required
