FAQ
Which system should we connect to AI first?
Start with the single handoff where work stalls or gets re-keyed most often, usually an internal step between two systems. It is well understood, low-risk to test, and pays back quickly.
How do we avoid the AI becoming a black box we cannot trust?
Require a trace for every automated action showing the input, the decision, and the reasoning, and keep human review on high-risk steps. If you can explain any decision in seconds, it is not a black box.
Do we need to replace our existing software to orchestrate with AI?
No. Orchestration coordinates the systems you already run, moving data between them without manual work. Replacing core systems is a separate and much larger decision.
How many integrations should we build at once?
One at a time. Prove each connection end-to-end and let it run cleanly before adding the next, so the whole orchestration stays debuggable.
