Exploring Untapped Data Potential
A significant portion of organizational data remains underutilized, with many users expressing desires to exploit this data without having the means to do so. The development of AI agents opens new possibilities by allowing companies to address previously neglected use cases. By integrating AI capabilities, organizations can automate processes like document analysis and contract insights, which were often too complex or time-consuming to handle. This shift can lead to enhanced productivity, enabling employees to focus on more strategic tasks rather than mundane data management.
