Artificial intelligence is a process that enables machines to imitate human intelligence. It can be used to automate certain tasks, making employees accomplish more in less time. Want proof? 80% of AI users have seen an improvement in their work performance!¹

How is artificial intelligence a lever for productivity?

What better way to boost productivity at work than with artificial intelligence? Here are 5 good reasons to make AI part of your daily routine: 

• Save time by automating repetitive and complex tasks. According to McKinsey, generative AI could automate the tasks on which we spend 60-70% of our work time!
• Access information more easily than ever. Need to extract data? Summarize a long document? Analyze a collection of content? Artificial intelligence can do that for you in seconds!
• Reduce the human errors that can occur when entering, sampling, analyzing, or interpreting data. 
• Make better decisions based on real-time data updates.
• Rely on AI to brainstorm with you and help you boost your creativity. It’s like brainstorming with your whole team—only more effective!

All these benefits add up to improved productivity for your staff, enabling you to multiply your return on investment. What’s more, 62% of IT decision-makers report that the adoption of intelligent automation methods has enabled them to increase their staff’s well-being at work.

Unsurprisingly, 47% of IT managers reported in a CNBC study that AI is now their biggest budget item.

How can you benefit from AI to boost productivity?

Let’s take a look at some examples of how AI can be used to improve productivity across all your various teams.

Automate ticketing

For your support and IT teams, managing tickets consumes a lot of time. By relying on artificial intelligence, you can automate the sorting and response to tickets on topics your customers and staff frequently raise. This automation enables your teams to concentrate on solving complex problems and thus respond more quickly to everyone’s requests.

Analyze satisfaction surveys

How about if you were to use AI to analyze results from your satisfaction surveys? These surveys can be very useful for gathering feedback from your customers and employees alike. Thanks to AI, you no longer need to spend hours going through everyone’s responses. All you have to do is ask your favorite AI tool for a summary, and shazam, you’ve got a ready-made analysis!

Manage email more efficiently

According to a McKinsey study, employees spend around 28% of their working time reading and answering emails! The good news is that it’s possible to drastically reduce this time. With AI, you can automate email sorting and even the replies.

For greater efficiency, we also advise you to use email just for your external exchanges, and to use an enterprise social network for the internal side. This will make processing your emails easier.

Recruit smarter

When you’re involved in recruitment, you often find yourself carrying out time-consuming, repetitive tasks. Between searching for and selecting candidates, sending out replies, and scheduling interviews, you can quickly get overwhelmed! 

Thanks to AI, some of these actions can now be automated, allowing you to focus on what matters: finding the optimal hire for each position. If human resources is your field, know that you, too, can use AI to boost productivity!

Create presentations

Whatever your profession, you’re likely to be asked to make presentations, both for internal and external encounters. You need to think about the content you’re going to present, create slides, and then lay everything out—all of which can be very time-consuming!

With AI, you speed up the entire process. In just a few minutes, your slides are automatically generated and laid out. All you need to do is make a few adjustments, and you’re good to go.

What AI tools can you use to boost your performance? 

Many digital tools integrate artificial intelligence functions to improve team productivity. However, many are American and thus subject to the Cloud Act. So, be careful not to put any confidential data on them!
