When we talk about AI, many think of ChatGPT writing emails. But for the Head of Operations, AI's value lies in **cognitive automation** and data analysis. It's using the computer to "read, understand, and classify" information that previously required a human.

### **Real AI use cases in Ops**

- **Smart OCR:** Reading 1,000 PDF invoices and extracting values to Excel.
- **Classification:** Reading the support ticket and automatically tagging it as "Urgent" or "Question."
- **Data Cleaning:** Standardizing badly typed addresses and names in the registry.
- **Prediction:** Analyzing sales history to suggest inventory purchases.

### **How Jestor applies AI in your operation**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- **AI Fields:** Create a column in the table that runs a prompt on the data (e.g., "Summarize this contract").
