An **AI pilot project** works best when it starts from a single, well-defined process, not the whole operation at once. In **Jestor**, the starting point is usually an adjusted **starting template**, with an **AI Agent** configured through **Agent Builder** for that specific process.

## Why a narrow scope makes the pilot easier?

A pilot that's too broad makes it hard to measure results and raises the risk of stalling the whole project because of a single poorly mapped process. A narrow scope lets you validate quickly and adjust before expanding.

## What companies are trying to solve when planning a pilot?

- No clear criteria for choosing the first process to automate
- Difficulty measuring the pilot's result objectively
- Fear that the pilot turns into a big project with no defined deadline
- Need to show a quick result to justify expansion

## How to structure the pilot step by step?

The pilot follows short stages, from the starting template to measuring the result.

| Stage                           | Action                                     | Typical timeframe |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------- |
| 1\. Choose the process          | Select a repetitive, measurable task       | First few days    |
| 2\. Install a starting template | Start from a ready-made base, if available | A few minutes     |
| 3\. Configure the agent         | Define instructions in Agent Builder       | First week        |

## Why choose Jestor?

- Ready-made templates speed up the pilot's start, even with no formal structure beforehand
- Agent Builder lets you configure the agent with no code, testing on a reduced scope
- The process dashboard lets you measure the pilot's result objectively

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How long does a typical pilot last?

It varies by process, but is usually measured in weeks, not months.

### Do I need a formalized process before starting?

It helps, but ready-made templates let you start even without a fully mapped process.

### How do I decide whether the pilot worked?

By comparing dashboard indicators before and after automation. Learn more at jestor.com.
