Start with Secure Chat: 90% of Employees Already Use AI for Search
9 out of 10 employees already use AI for search — so your first use case should be giving them a secure, enterprise-grade chat to eliminate shadow AI risk. From there, layer in web search tools like Perplexity, Tavily, and Firecrawl to turn chaotic research into structured 30-day action plans, then apply file analysis to PDFs or spreadsheets for instant summaries and edits — all without building complex agents.
