You’ve made the decision to introduce Generative AI (Gen-AI) into your company—but you’re unsure where to begin. With an abundance of ideas and the topic being so new, complex, and dynamic, prioritizing your first steps can feel overwhelming.
At Hub4AI, we’ve guided numerous organizations through this transformative journey. Allow me to share our insights and recommendations to help you navigate the initial stages of Gen-AI adoption.
1. Partner with a Gen-AI Integrator
First and foremost, consider partnering with a Gen-AI integrator. Their expertise can accelerate your implementation, provide accurate effort assessments, and help you avoid less optimal, time-consuming paths. Collaborating with specialists like Hub4AI ensures you’re leveraging best practices from the outset.
2. Identify Strategic Entry Points
There are several ways to approach Gen-AI adoption. Choose one or multiple strategies that align with your business priorities:
- Implement a General Gen-AI Assistant for Office Activities
Many large companies start here because it’s one of the easiest implementations. A Gen-AI assistant grants a wide range of employees access to safe and private AI services, enhancing productivity across the board. Our solution, AI4Business, is designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing workflows. - Target “Low-Hanging Fruits”
Focus on automating repetitive, simple, or moderately complex tasks that require minimal implementation time but offer quick results. This approach can provide immediate efficiency gains and build momentum for broader AI initiatives. -
Prioritize Cost-Saving Opportunities
Analyze your company’s activities and processes by cost and time consumption. Start with the top 5 or 10 most time-intensive tasks performed by large groups. Even small efficiency improvements in these areas can lead to substantial gains due to their multiplied effect. While this may require a longer development period, the long-term benefits are significant.
-
Leverage Off-the-Shelf Services
Explore existing AI services that can enhance significant parts of your current products or processes. Even if they address medium-priority areas, these solutions are often easy to implement, quick to deploy, and highly cost-effective. For example, our AI4Retail, AI4Legal and AI4HR are offering ready-made solutions develop in partnership with top-experts.
- Enhance Sales Through AI
If accelerating sales growth is a priority—especially without proportionally increasing your team size—consider integrating AI into your customer journey. An AI sales assistant on your website or app can personalize interactions, improve customer engagement, and increase conversion rates.
