AI, explained › The fuel › Your data

Your data.

The customer records, finances, emails and documents that AI reads to give answers about your business.

What it is.

  • A general AI knows about the world. It only knows about your business through the data you give it.
  • In most businesses that data is spread across a CRM, accounting software, inboxes, shared drives and spreadsheets.
  • Bringing it together in one place, cleaned up and labelled, is what people mean by AI-ready data.

Why it matters to you.

  • Gartner expects organisations to abandon 60% of AI projects that lack AI-ready data.
  • Duplicates, gaps and old records turn into wrong answers that sound confident.
  • Sorting your data first makes every later AI project faster and cheaper.
