Editorial preview. This draft has not been published.

Choose a bounded task

Look for a workflow with consistent inputs and an output someone can review. Start with assistance rather than full autonomy, especially when mistakes could affect customers.

Define what good means

Gather representative examples and decide how you will assess the output. Test difficult cases as well as routine ones. Keep a person responsible for decisions that require judgement.

Connect it carefully

Only connect the information and permissions the task needs. Document where data goes, what is retained and how your team can switch the system off or take over.
