In today’s fast-moving business landscape, manual operations are bottlenecks. AI-powered automation isn't just a trend — it's how forward-thinking companies unlock capacity, speed, and accuracy. At Lissanou, we guide businesses to embed intelligence into everyday workflows, freeing teams to focus on innovation.
You don’t need to be a tech expert to identify what AI can automate — you just need to look critically at where time, energy, and resources are being wasted.
1. Identify Inefficient Processes🔍
Look for tasks that are:
Manual and repetitive (e.g., data entry, approvals, handoffs)
Time-consuming with low strategic value
Prone to delays or mistakes due to human involvement
Ask: If this task disappeared tomorrow, would you celebrate or panic?
2. Pinpoint Employee Pain Points💬
Ask teams what slows them down or creates friction
Review support tickets, backlog items, or low-priority tasks that never get done
Listen for phrases like “I wish I didn’t have to…” or “this takes forever…”
3. Audit Your Tools and Workflows🧾
Are teams switching between tools manually?
Are reports being built in spreadsheets when a dashboard could do it?
Are approvals or status updates getting bottlenecked?
Where there’s manual effort, there’s potential for AI.
4. Track Time & Cost Hotspots📊
Where does your team spend the most hours each week?
Which processes drive headcount or outsourced spending?
Which workflows become harder as you scale?

Volkswagen
Volkswagen Group of America leveraged Amazon Q Business to significantly improve efficiency in human resources. They were able to map 4,000 unique job descriptions to 3,200 job roles in their global template system, efficiently finishing the project within timelines. Additionally, they created an Amazon Q app that can draft a solution in just one day, showcasing rapid automation of a complex task.
Genentech developed a generative AI system called gRED Research Agent, built using Amazon Bedrock Agents, to automate the time-consuming process of analyzing massive amounts of scientific data for drug discovery and biomarker validation. This solution is expected to save nearly 5 years of manual effort in biomarker validation across therapeutic areas, allowing scientists to focus on higher-impact research and accelerate the delivery of new medicines to patients.
Free Knowledge Africa
Free Knowledge Africa overcame slow, manual, and costly data handling challenges by partnering with CloudPlexo, which deployed a serverless, event-driven architecture using Amazon Bedrock for generative AI, AWS Lambda for specialized automation, and Amazon OpenSearch with Vector Search for high-accuracy semantic search. This transformation led to an 85% faster query time, 25× increase in data processing capacity, 62% cut in infrastructure costs, a 40% boost in search relevance, and a 94% drop in manual interventions—culminating in a drastically accelerated rollout of new features and a leap in operational efficiency.
