Functional and technical roles

Build AI into the work your team does.

Start with the work: generate invoices, enrich leads, test an application or build a model. People across functions can configure and build AI-enabled workflows, with engineering support matched to the task. Define what changes, the work product and who checks it. The role map below helps connect those responsibilities to your enterprise.

Work transformation in practice

What work do you want to change?

Build on the work your people already do. These examples show how software delivery, testing and business teams could add AI capabilities, what they would produce and what needs checking.

Software engineering and QA

Build a website-testing agent

What changes
Your team builds an agent that exercises agreed journeys, runs executable checks and records failures. Engineers verify findings and decide what to fix.
Bespoke to your enterprise
Your test application, user journeys, access boundaries and release criteria.
What the team produces
A testing agent, repeatable checks and a failure report.
Read the testing-agent guide

IT services and software delivery

Build a software factory

What changes
Your team builds a repeatable process in which agents prepare changes, independent checks test them and engineers review the result before release.
Bespoke to your enterprise
Your client requirements, repository, dependencies, coding standards and release controls.
What the team produces
A build process, reviewable software changes, test results and a record of failures and repairs.
Read the software-factory guide

Finance operations

Generate invoices with AI

What changes
Your team builds or configures a workflow to prepare invoice drafts and surface missing details. People resolve exceptions and approve issue.
Bespoke to your enterprise
Your order data, billing rules, accounting interfaces and approval limits.
What the team produces
An invoice workflow, checked drafts and an exception queue.

Illustrative examples for scoping, not customer results or a fixed catalogue.

Different questions lead to different builds.

Choose a technical project around the work your enterprise needs to do. These illustrative starting points require different tools, data and engineering depth.

How do I build an agent to test a website?

Define the user journeys and expected behavior first. Give the agent an approved test environment, accounts and fixtures. Build the test flow, then review assertions, reproducible defect reports, missed defects and false alarms. Keep release acceptance with the responsible team.

How do I build an agent for website security testing?

Start with an authorized target and agreed testing boundaries. Scope the access, permitted checks and stop conditions. Review findings against known cases, verify evidence and prioritize remediation with the security owner. A practice result does not establish that a site is secure.

How do I build my own model?

First decide whether the problem needs model training, retrieval, an existing model or a deterministic system. A model-building project needs an agreed task, usable data, a baseline, compute and evaluation on held-out examples. Training from scratch is a different scope from adapting an existing model.

How do I fine-tune a model?

Define the behavior to improve and prepare suitable examples with appropriate data rights. Separate training and evaluation data, compare the adapted model with the baseline, and inspect failure cases, cost and operating constraints. Fine-tuning alone does not keep business facts current or establish correctness.

Business-function AI Builders

AI builders in business teams

Business expertise shapes what gets built: invoice rules in Finance, lead qualification in Sales, contract review in Legal. These role patterns help identify responsibilities. The enterprise project determines the tools, technical support and evidence needed.

Engineering AI Builders

Engineering AI Builders

Technical work includes model development, fine-tuning, agent construction, application integration, testing and delivery into customer systems. Match the engineering depth to the problem and the enterprise constraints; start from the capabilities people already bring.

Contracted AI domain experts

Some AI work is done by contracted domain experts. They review model answers, label examples, design tests and investigate failures. These roles sit outside the employee role map and can require substantial subject expertise.

Map your AI Builders. Prepare them for the new work.

Bring a real workflow and the people who need to change it. Scope a simulation around your systems, data and rules, with agreed building responsibilities and checks. The AI Bootcamp is one 6 to 8 week preparation path; established labs and direct agent evaluation remain available.
