10 AI Workflow Automation Examples That Actually Work
Most "AI use case" lists are too vague to act on. Below are ten concrete AI workflow automations we've shipped or seen ship at IntentBold — each one is a real trigger, real steps, and a real payoff.

1. Inbound lead enrichment & routing
New form submission triggers enrichment (Clearbit / Apollo), an AI scoring step, and routing into the right rep's pipeline with a pre-written first-touch email draft.

2. Meeting prep briefs
Before every external call, an agent assembles a one-page brief from CRM, website, recent news, and prior emails — dropped into Slack 30 minutes before the meeting.
- Support
3. Ticket triage and draft replies
Incoming ticket is classified, tagged, prioritized, and a draft reply is written using the help center as RAG context. Human reviews and sends.

Voice agent handles hours, location, order status, and routing. Escalates anything ambiguous to a human with full transcript context.
