Before
Inbox-led intake
Requests were sorted and copied by hand.
Case Studies
AI workflow automation example: shared inbox to structured intake
A service business moved high-volume intake into AI-assisted classification, summaries, and human review.
Situation
A service team had 40+ weekly intake requests in inboxes and attachments
Manual handoffs hid bottlenecks and made response times inconsistent.
Build
Structured queue
AI labels, summaries, and reviewer tasks.
After
Clearer throughput
Status, exceptions, and review time became visible.
What changed
The build focused on real handoff points
Review rules and data flow mattered more than model choice.
Audit
Mapped request types
Found fields, owners, and slow handoffs.
Taxonomy

Classify
Added first-pass labels
Tagged type, urgency, and owner.

Project shape
Audit, build, harden, then expand from evidence
The first version targeted the highest-volume intake class.
Operational lesson
The workflow worked better when uncertainty was explicit.
01
Audit intake
Document volume, categories, fields, and risks.
02
Build first pass
