What is AI and how can it improve business processes?

Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is a disruptive technology that enables machines to simulate human-like intelligence in order to perform complex tasks that traditionally required human cognition. This includes areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision.

  • The strategic use of AI is essential today for optimizing business processes and significantly increasing efficiency in almost every industry.
  • Companies that use AI can make data-driven decisions and secure a decisive competitive advantage.
  • AI solutions make it possible to automate routine tasks, thereby reducing the workload on employees, minimizing errors, and utilizing resources more efficiently.
  • Professional AI consulting helps develop and implement a sustainable AI strategy tailored to the specific needs and goals of the company and its employees.

Advantages of a customized AI strategy

AI chatbot development

AI-based chatbots are revolutionizing the way companies communicate with customers. Whether in customer service, sales, or internal support, intelligent chatbots provide fast, reliable answers and are available around the clock. They relieve teams, reduce response times, and increase customer satisfaction at the same time. Modern chatbots understand natural language, learn from interactions, and can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems such as CRM or help desk platforms. This allows requests to be processed automatically, individual recommendations to be made, or processes to be initiated – efficiently and scalably. As part of our AI consulting services, we support you in the consulting, design, development, and integration of customized AI chatbots – tailored to your target groups, use cases, and technical requirements.

Achieving sustainability goals

AI assistance for EU compliance

Starting in 2025, the EU will require large companies to document their sustainability efforts in detail. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is not to be taken lightly—insufficient reporting could lead to the rejection of bank loans, for example. Time is running out to meet the CSRD requirements.

Centigrade has developed an AI assistant for initial consultations to familiarize users with the topic of CSRD directly at Ecospective and simplify access to consulting services.

  • Implementation in the shortest possible time
  • Seamless integration into processes and corporate design

Thinking ahead together with AI & design!

Company-wide networking workshop on the interplay between design and AI

Some can't get enough of it, others are probably tired of hearing about it. Generative AI is the topic of the moment and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Regardless of your opinion on the matter, AI will have a significant impact on our work as design professionals. To gain clarity on how this development will influence design leadership and design operations at Bosch, the company invited us to its Designers' Network Day in Stuttgart.

Our task: to moderate a four-hour networking workshop that brings design professionals together to discuss key questions regarding the opportunities and risks of generative AI.

Learn more

Thanks to the inspiring facilitation of our 'Generative AI in Design' workshop, Centigrade supported the Bosch Designers Network in creating a great experience for all participants. We left the event with a lot of 'desire for more' to try out cutting-edge AI tools in our daily work. A particular highlight was Centigrade's Person-A-Mat, which had workshop participants literally queuing in front of it.

Frequently asked questions

Generative AI is a cutting-edge form of artificial intelligence that is capable of creating original and creative content such as text, images, audio, and code. Unlike traditional AI systems, which are primarily focused on analyzing and classifying existing data, the strength of generative AI lies in its ability to create new, coherent, and relevant outputs. This opens up immense potential for companies to break new ground in product development, marketing, and customer communication. Our AI consulting services help you identify specific use cases for generative AI in your business processes and implement them intelligently to secure a sustainable competitive advantage and increase your efficiency.

Human-centered AI means that the use of artificial intelligence is not viewed solely from a technical perspective, but also focuses on the psychological, sociological, and organizational implications. It is only used where people can trust the results, because a lack of transparency in data sources or security reduces the willingness to experiment with the technology and thus inhibits innovation. It is also essential that humans remain involved in the process at clear points as “humans in the loop,” since pure automation without human control and responsibility increases fears of job loss, for example, and provokes resistance. Acceptance and approval arise above all when AI takes over monotonous tasks that offer no attractive career prospects. Finally, the use of AI should be a continuous part of everyday work in order to promote competence in dealing with it and create positive experiences of success that increase motivation and creativity.

The implementation of artificial intelligence in existing business processes is a key pillar for companies looking to increase their productivity. The strategic use of AI technologies not only automates recurring tasks, but also optimizes complex decision-making processes through data-driven insights. Our AI consulting services help you identify the right AI solutions that are specifically tailored to your industry and individual business processes. This leads to a significant increase in efficiency and enables your employees to focus on more value-adding activities, making the entire process more efficient and creating considerable added value.

The success of modern AI strategies is largely based on sound expertise in data science and machine learning. Our specialists have in-depth knowledge in these areas and can develop and implement complex algorithms that are tailored precisely to your requirements. Whether it's analyzing large amounts of data, developing predictive models, or implementing generative AI, our AI expertise provides you with the necessary competence. We help you select and optimize the right machine learning models to revolutionize your business processes and gain a decisive competitive advantage through the intelligent use of artificial intelligence.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an essential component of many modern AI solutions and enables machines to understand, interpret, and even generate human language. For businesses, NLP offers a wide range of applications that contribute to increased efficiency and optimized business processes. For example, large amounts of unstructured text data, such as customer reviews or emails, can be automatically analyzed to gain valuable insights into sentiments and trends. In customer service, NLP-based systems improve customer interaction through intelligent chatbots that understand complex queries and provide accurate answers. Our AI consulting shows you how to strategically use NLP in your business to improve communication and make data-driven decisions.

Smart AI implementations are the key to sustainable competitive advantages in today's digital landscape. Companies that strategically plan and implement the use of AI can dramatically increase their efficiency, develop innovative products and services, and significantly improve customer loyalty. Whether it's accelerating processes through automation, making more accurate predictions, or creating personalized customer experiences, AI offers countless opportunities to stand out from the competition. Our customized AI consulting helps you identify specific use cases for your business and develop an AI strategy that enables you to maximize the potential of this technology and strengthen your market position.
