The Role of Data in Automation
Data is crucial for unlocking automation, as AI relies on structured and interconnected information. Organizations often overlook the necessity of having their data accessible in digital formats, leading to inefficiencies. For instance, expecting AI to provide daily task summaries while tasks are recorded only in notebooks highlights this disconnect. To maximize the benefit of AI tools, companies must first ensure that their data is well-organized and stored in accessible digital formats.
