Written for: Product teams and technical buyers at small companies

1. 1

   From demo to daily work

   • Today we introduce an AI assistant that helps small teams turn automated workflows into daily habits.
   • The focus is the step after the demo, when real work begins.
   • This deck is for product teams and technical buyers at small companies.
   • We will cover the problem, the design, the measures and the roadmap.
2. 2

   The gap between demo and production

   • A demo runs once, on clean inputs, with a person watching closely.
   • Production means messy inputs, repeated runs and nobody babysitting each step.
   • Small teams rarely have spare engineers to harden every workflow.
   • Many promising automations stall in this gap and are quietly abandoned.
3. 3

   Three common pains

   • Pain one: workflows break on unexpected inputs and nobody notices quickly.
   • Pain two: the assistant lacks the team's context, so outputs need heavy rework.
   • Pain three: nobody can tell whether a workflow is actually saving time.
   • Each pain maps to a part of the design you will see next.
4. 4

   How the assistant is built

   • The assistant is built from a few clear layers: instructions, tools, context and monitoring.
   • Each workflow is defined as explicit steps that a team member can read and edit.
   • Every run is logged so behavior can be reviewed and replayed.
   • Keeping the parts separate lets a small team change one without breaking others.
5. 5

   Three working modes

   • Mode one: suggest, where the assistant drafts and a person approves everything.
   • Mode two: assist, where it handles routine steps and asks about uncertain ones.
   • Mode three: automate, where trusted workflows run on their own with alerts.
   • Teams move a workflow up one mode at a time as trust grows.
6. 6

   Coordinating tools

   • Real workflows span several tools, such as email, spreadsheets, chat and ticketing.
   • The assistant sequences calls to these tools and passes results between steps.
   • Permissions are scoped per tool so each workflow touches only what it needs.
   • When a tool call fails, the assistant retries or hands the step to a person.
7. 7

   Giving the assistant the right context

   • Good output depends on giving the assistant the right context for each task.
   • Teams attach reference documents, examples and style guidance to a workflow.
   • Context is limited to what the task needs, which keeps results focused.
   • Updating shared context once improves every workflow that uses it.
8. 8

   The measures that show a workflow is in daily use

   • Daily use shows up in a few simple measures, not a single score.
   • Track how often each workflow runs per week and how many people rely on it.
   • Track the share of runs finished without human correction.
   • Track time saved per run against the manual process, estimated with the team.
9. 9

   How the measures trend

   • Healthy workflows show run counts rising and then settling into a steady rhythm.
   • Correction rates should fall as context and instructions improve.
   • A flat or falling run count signals a workflow people have stopped trusting.
   • Review these trends weekly in the first month after launch.
10. 10

    Ways it can fail and how we catch them

    • Failures include wrong outputs, skipped steps, tool errors and drifting behavior.
    • Checks validate outputs against simple rules before anything is sent onward.
    • Alerts flag unusual runs so a person can review them quickly.
    • Run logs let the team find the cause and fix the instructions.
11. 11

    What ships next on the roadmap

    • Next on the roadmap: more templates for common small-team workflows.
    • We plan richer review screens for comparing runs over time.
    • Broader tool connections are planned, guided by customer requests.
    • Roadmap items are plans, and priorities may shift with feedback.

    Try it with your team

    • Start with one workflow your team already runs by hand every week.
    • Run it in suggest mode first and review the results together.
    • Move it up a mode once corrections become rare.
    • Talk to us about a pilot and bring a workflow you want in daily use.
