# There is interest in AI. The useful task is still unclear. Suggestions range from assistants to document processing and customer replies. There is no need to start everywhere. First identify repeated work and a result that can be checked. [Leadership asks for an AI initiative](https://apiperson.com/ai/ai-business-task/) The instruction is clear.

They do not describe specific people, companies or projects. Any resemblance is coincidental.
