( GET READY )

Your roadmap to AI readiness

( 01 — OVERVIEW )

Start simple. Build smart.


Getting AI-ready doesn't require a complete overhaul. It's about making strategic improvements to how you structure information, connect systems, and serve customers.


This guide walks through practical steps any business can take — from quick wins to long-term foundations.

( 02 — PHASE 1: FOUNDATION )
01 Audit your content
02 Identify data gaps
03 Map your systems


DETAILS

Understanding what you have

Before adding AI, you need to know what data exists, where it lives, and how accessible it is. This phase is about inventory and assessment.


Content inventory Data quality assessment System mapping Gap analysis
( 03 — PHASE 2: STRUCTURE )
04 Clean your data
05 Add metadata
06 Create schemas


DETAILS

Making information machine-readable

Structure transforms raw information into intelligence. This phase focuses on organizing content so AI can understand context, relationships, and meaning.


Data normalization Semantic tagging Schema implementation Taxonomy design
( 04 — PHASE 3: INTEGRATION )
07 Connect platforms
08 Enable APIs
09 Automate flows


DETAILS

Creating connected systems

Integration breaks down silos. When your tools communicate, AI can orchestrate across platforms — turning fragmented workflows into intelligent automation.

( 05 — PHASE 4: INTELLIGENCE )
10 Deploy AI agents
11 Train models
12 Measure impact


DETAILS

Activating intelligent systems

With foundations in place, you can deploy AI that actually works — customer support agents, content generators, analytics assistants, and predictive tools.

Tools we recommend


The right stack makes readiness easier. Here's what we use and trust:

Content & Data

Airtable, Notion, PostgreSQL — structured storage that scales with complexity.

Integration & APIs

Zapier, Make, custom APIs — connect everything without code sprawl.

AI Platforms

OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini — choose based on task, not hype.

Analytics & Monitoring

Segment, Mixpanel, custom dashboards — measure what matters.
