AI is moving fast -faster than any static guide can keep up with.
What you’ll find below are starting points: insights from the work we’re doing inside each industry.
These guides will keep evolving, and over time they’ll grow into interactive tools where you can dive deeper into your own sector.
For now, they’re here to spark ideas and show you what’s possible.
construction & trades
Jobs move fast. Paperwork doesn’t.
Most trades businesses bleed profit in places they don’t even see.
Healthcare & Medical
Staff are stretched.
AI can’t replace care - but it can strip back the paperwork.
Professional Services
Billable hours get eaten alive by unbillable work.
AI gives time back where it’s lost.

AI lightens the load and keeps things flowing.

Margins are tight.
AI helps cut waste and keep supply chains moving without the extra admin.
