Blake Harkness, an AI engineer embedded at Patersons, walks through the full spectrum. It starts with the small, repeatable wins that pay for themselves in a fortnight, the document, admin and data tasks quietly eating your team's time. From there it moves to custom automations that strip out repetitive work across the business, and on to the larger software builds that take real planning and buy-in.
You'll see what's worked, what hasn't, the tools behind each one, and the advice that comes from actually doing it.
If you've been after a practical, vendor-free look at where to start, this is it.
