Examples: remember those awesome ISO 9001 certified forms for product orders that producers (from nuts & bolts to Kinkos) used in the 90s? Hook your AI up to a 3D printing farm and automate that into bespoke manufacturing. Let it order your source materials and just approve the PO as usual in corporate. Train another AI on item inspection and inspect every item diligently, not just a sample out of a large batch. Let your AI reach out to your customer's AI and ask for feedback.
