Use cases

Where data work improves a concrete business process.

Ten typical starting points across manufacturing, finance, real estate, legal, government, and healthcare. Each use case starts with the operational problem, existing systems, and a realistically bounded first project.

Ten starting points

Start with the bottleneck, not the technology.

The order reflects suitability as a first project. A small, testable step is usually more useful than a broad AI initiative.

01

Technical knowledge search for service and maintenance

Manuals, old tickets, and practical knowledge are distributed. Technicians search for too long and encounter inconsistent names or outdated documents.

02

Automated order and document validation

Orders arrive as PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, or free text. Differences in items, quantities, prices, or addresses are often found late.

03

Data reconciliation for month-end close and controlling

ERP, accounting, banking, and specialist systems use different identifiers. Reconciliation remains trapped in spreadsheets, emails, and personal comments.

04

Compliance and audit evidence retrieval

Evidence sits in tickets, policies, training lists, approvals, and emails. Currency, completeness, and provenance are difficult to see.

05

Complaint and quality root-cause analytics

Complaints, defect codes, batches, and process values live in separate systems. Recurring patterns are therefore identified late.

06

Spare-parts and inventory optimisation

Critical parts are missing while others sit in stock for years. Consumption, asset criticality, lead time, and equivalent parts are rarely assessed together.

07

Condition monitoring for one critical asset

Sensor values, faults, and maintenance orders are separate. Rare or poorly labelled failures make a dependable condition view difficult.

08

Intelligent contract and case-file search

Contracts, amendments, and filings are distributed. Relevant clauses sit in full text while search and deadline lists depend on file names.

09

Real-estate data hub for operating costs and portfolio reporting

Property, lease, energy, and invoice data use different identifiers. Reports are assembled manually and anomalies surface late.

10

Clinical document and SOP search

SOPs, hygiene policies, and device instructions are spread across repositories. Outdated copies remain in circulation while patient data raises the risk.

Regulatory context

AI use in 2026 needs a documented frame.

Classification always depends on purpose and context. Internal search or summarisation is not automatically a high-risk system.

  1. 01The EU AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024. Prohibitions on certain practices and measures for AI literacy have applied since 2 February 2025.
  2. 02Governance and obligations for general-purpose AI models have applied since 2 August 2025. The AI Act has generally applied since 2 August 2026.
  3. 03Transparency obligations for certain chatbots and AI-generated content have applied since August 2026.
  4. 04Purpose, users, data, provider, and accountability should be documented. A blanket claim of AI Act compliance cannot replace a case-specific assessment.
