Product questions

Ask them to show not only a chat reply, but the full lifecycle of an AI employee.

  • Who can create and change the employee?
  • How is knowledge structured?
  • Are there versions and publishing?
  • Can it be tested before launch?

Questions about actions and security

The main risk appears where the AI does not only speak, but also changes an external system.

  • Which permissions does the integration receive?
  • Can confirmation be required?
  • Is an action log kept?
  • How is data from different projects isolated?

Questions about operations

After the pilot, the system needs to be updated, evaluated, and supported.

  • How is cost calculated?
  • Where are errors visible?
  • How is the knowledge base updated?
  • Who is responsible for quality after launch?

How to compare pilots

Give participants the same set of real conversations, success criteria, and forbidden actions. Compare not the impression of a demo, but the share of correctly completed scenarios, errors, cost, and the effort required for support.

Next step

Take one repeating task out of manual work

Pick a real process, add company knowledge, and verify the result before go-live.
