Back to work: 7 tasks your team hates, and how AI can step in
Post-summer, the busywork is waiting. Three of the worst offenders:
✔️ Document summaries: Knowledge workers lose about 20% of their time just gathering information. AI condenses long documents in moments.
✔️ PDF data extraction: No more retyping from unstructured files. AI pulls structured data instantly.
✔️ Validity checks: AI flags incomplete files before anyone opens them.
That's what AI-native document management looks like in practice.
Check out this article for four more tasks you can hand to AI and give your team its time back, including the one most people underestimate.
Knowledge Management: Build or buy your RAG?
Getting AI agents or assistants to 60% accuracy with a standard RAG architecture may be fairly easy. But that’s far from enough for most business use cases.
Going up to 80% and beyond is a different order of difficulty, one that demands continuous, specialized, and heavy R&D investment that non-software companies and internal teams can’t always sustain.
AODocs’ CEO Stéphan Donzé reflects on the path forward for knowledge managers, based on lessons from enterprise deployments of out-of-the-box solutions.
