Day 91 / 100 · AI features · When AI is the right answer

Use AI where uncertainty is OK.

AI is great with language, patterns and judgement calls that a person can check. It's a poor choice when answers must be exact every time.

Use AI

Good Fit

  • Summarising, drafting, classifying
  • High volume, repetitive judgement
  • A person can review the output
  • “Mostly right” still helps

Use rules and code

Poor Fit

  • Exact answers required, like billing
  • Simple rules already work
  • High stakes with no review
  • No good data to ground it

Right tool. Not the shiny tool.
