Pre-Workflow AI: A Practical Guide for Application Owners

Add AI decision support to your existing workflows. Secure, simple, and with clear business impact.

If you own an application with validation workflows, this is for you. There's a practical way to add AI that helps your team make better decisions—without replacing them, without security risks, and without a massive investment.

The idea is simple: put AI before your validation workflow. Let it analyze incoming data, flag issues, and provide recommendations. Your team still makes the final call. AI assists; humans decide.

How It Works

Your Application
↓ sends data
AI Decision Support
↓ recommendations
Validation Workflow
Human Reviews + Decides

Your application sends data points to AI before the validation workflow. AI analyzes and returns recommendations. The workflow presents these to your team. They review, apply judgment, and decide.

That's it. No black-box automation. No removing humans from the loop.

Why This Matters

What you get:

Real impact: Teams report 40-60% reduction in review time for routine decisions, with better catch rates on anomalies.

Security: Sorted

Your data stays inside the enterprise. The corporate AMP AI platform handles this.

You focus on integration. The platform handles infrastructure and security.

The Operating Model

Two teams make this work:

Corporate
AMP AI Platform Team

Owns infrastructure, security, model hosting. You consume their APIs.

Grid Solution
AI COE (Your Level)

Builds integrations, tailors AI to your workflows, works with your business SMEs.

The AI COE Team You Need

Start lean. You need 4 people:

Recommended Team (4 Members)

Role What They Do
AI Solution Lead Coordinates with AMP AI platform, manages delivery, talks to business stakeholders
Full Stack Developer Builds the integration between your app and AMP AI, handles data pipelines
Prompt Engineer Designs AI prompts, tunes response quality, handles edge cases
Data Engineer Prepares data for AI consumption, ensures quality, optimizes throughput

This team works with your existing Application Owners (who know the codebase) and Business SMEs (who own testing and validation).

Business SMEs own testing. They validate that AI recommendations actually make sense for your operations. Technology builds; business validates.

How to Enable This

Four steps to go live:

1
Pick One Workflow

Start with a single validation workflow that has clear data inputs. Don't boil the ocean.

2
Set Up the Team

Assign your 4-person AI COE. Connect with the corporate AMP AI platform team for API access.

3
Build + Test

Integrate your app with AMP AI. Run in shadow mode first—AI recommends, but doesn't block anything. Business SMEs validate outputs.

4
Go Live + Expand

Once validated, enable AI recommendations in the live workflow. Then pick the next workflow.

What Success Looks Like

You'll know it's working when:

The goal isn't AI making decisions. It's AI making your team's decisions faster and better.

Next Step

If you own an application with validation workflows:

Start small. Prove value. Scale from there.
