THE CLOVER

The agentic AI use cases worth building. And how to find them.

This month: a framework for picking the right automation and agentic AI use cases, five dimensions for measuring AI value, proof from a $3M success story, and seven cities where you can talk it through with our team in person.

▶ FEATURED | SUCCESS STORY

      Investment Management Firm Avoids $3M in Regulatory Fines with Agentic Automation

       

      A global investment manager replaced a fragile, fully manual compliance training process with a UiPath-powered conversational agent. HR teams now manage mandatory training enrollments in seconds. Every action is audit-ready and the conditions that generate seven-figure fines are gone.

          How to Find & Evaluate Agentic AI Use Cases Worth Building

           

          Head of Advisory, Filip Swat, and Head of Delivery Assurance, Xavier Hanson, walk through the framework Ashling uses with clients to score and rank automation and agentic AI opportunities, plus a live scoring exercise applying it to real use cases.

            A Practical Framework for Qualifying AI & Automation Opportunities

             

            The infographic version of the webinar's core framework. Three parts: business value, automation readiness, and an agent-readiness score across five weighted criteria. Print it, share it with your team, use it the next time someone walks into a room with an AI use case they want to build.

            Measuring Agentic AI Value: Why Traditional Metrics Falls Short

              Measuring agentic AI value requires more than tracking labor hours saved. Learn why traditional ROI metrics fall short — and what to track instead.

                            APAC GTM Director, Charley Vokoun, shares two pieces on what leaders are actually talking about. Two questions keep surfacing. Are we automating the right things with AI? And do we have the people to maintain what we're building?

                            Stop Paving the Automation Cow Path

                              AI projects fail when organizations bolt AI onto current processes instead of asking whether those processes should exist in their current form. A case for reimagining work before automating it.

                                  AI isn't reducing effort. It's raising ambition. The companies moving fastest are closing the gap between what technology can do and how their organization is set up to use it.
