Top 10 Game-Changing GenAI Automations Every Business Needs

Greetings Cohere Community,

The potential of GenAI automation with large language models (LLMs) is huge, but finding the right game-changing project for your business can be tough. Projects should be bold and visionary but also realistic and achievable. LLMs, with features like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multilingual support, and tool integration offer countless new and exciting automation possibilities.

But “just because something can be automated doesn’t mean it should be,” says MIT Professor of Economics David Autor. Businesses need to rethink problems and reimagine work to find AI use cases that go beyond current tasks and unlock new value — what Ethan Mollick refers to as “latent expertise.”

Start by identifying your no-regrets LLM automations and then adopt an experimental approach. Success, according to McKinsey’s Eric Roth, requires a willingness to face hard truths and a shared aspiration. 

To kickstart your journey, we’re unveiling the top 10 LLM automations that leading companies are already using and the cookbooks to start building them. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions. 

Top 10 LLM Automations

1. Data Analysis and Reporting 

LLMs can analyze large datasets, generate insights, and produce comprehensive reports, aiding decision-making processes within enterprises. 

→ Get started: build a data analyst AI agent.

2. Advanced Financial Analysis

Enterprises can automate financial, operational, and tabular data analysis by leveraging LLMs to analyze various factors and generate reports. Equip your LLM with a Python console and start analyzing spreadsheets and financial data.

→ Get started: build a financial AI agent.

3. Automated Document Processing

LLMs can be used to automate the creation, review, and approval of documents, such as contracts, reports, and compliance paperwork. This reduces the manual effort and accelerates document workflows. LLMs can extract information from documents, review and generate reports, and ask questions with your documents.

→ Get started: use a multi-step PDF extractor.

4. Enhanced IT Support

Integrating LLMs into customer support systems to handle complex queries, provide detailed responses, and escalate issues as needed significantly improves customer service efficiency and satisfaction. For example, check out Atomicwork’s recently launched Atom AI for IT support powered by Cohere models. 

→ Get started: build a Q&A Bot from technical documentation.

5. Automated Customer Support

LLMs can facilitate seamless communication between APIs, enhancing customer support by integrating with existing CRM tools. For example, keep your CRM up-to-date by automatically analyzing sales call transcripts. 

→ Get started: build robust API calls for enterprise workflows. 

6. Automated Meeting Scheduling

LLMs can be used to coordinate meeting times, send invitations, and manage calendars, reducing the administrative burden on employees.

→ Get started: build a calendar AI agent.

7. Content Creation and Summarization

LLMs can generate summaries, marketing materials, internal communications, and social media content, ensuring consistency and saving time. Other use cases include summarizing customer support threads and reports from technicians.

→ Get started: build summarization automation. 

8. Human Resources Automation

HR teams can streamline processes, such as recruitment, onboarding, and performance reviews, using LLMs to analyze resumes, generate evaluation reports, and provide feedback. 

→ Get started: build an HR AI agent.

9. Legal and Compliance Automation

Legal teams can automate legal research, contract analysis, and compliance checks using LLMs to ensure adherence to regulations and reduce their workload. Cohere customer Borderless AI recently launched their legal agent, Alberni, to help with global compliance and employee onboarding.

→ Get started: build an agentic RAG pipeline for complex data.

10. Enhanced Multilingual Services

LLMs can be used to automate translation tasks to support multilingual communication within global enterprises.

→ Get started: build multilingual search and generation.

Experimenting with LLM automations, and collaborating with interdisciplinary, diverse, and cross-functional teams, can lead to groundbreaking enterprise innovation. You don’t need big R&D budgets to do it. The cross-pollination of ideas mixed with GenAI automation that can scale to support enterprise-grade workloads is at the heart of how we begin to reinvent work.
