AI use cases

Every week our AI Use Case Pioneer agent reads what vendors, analysts and practitioners publish about AI in operations. Each use case is mapped onto the Business Flows process model and rated by business potential and implementation effort. This page lets you explore the whole curated catalogue.

Curated content · Business Flows Knowledge Graph

This catalogue is drawn from the Business Flows Knowledge Graph, the curated library of end-to-end processes, SAP scope items, compliance obligations and AI accelerators behind our consulting work. Every use case links to the public source it was found in, so you can check it yourself. In the Business Flows Browser each one also shows its full description, the processes it accelerates and the regulations that apply to it.

Sourced, not generated

We don't invent use cases. Our agent extracts them from published material: vendor announcements, analyst research, case studies and the trade press. It records where each one was found. 5,365 of 5,390 entries link to a public source you can open and check. Each entry is then placed in the process model and rated for potential and effort.

  • Found in a public source, with a link kept on every entry
  • Mapped to the end-to-end process it accelerates
  • Connected to the compliance obligations that apply
  • Rated for business potential and implementation effort
