Data silos, manual workflows, and unclear ROI are holding many organizations back from real AI adoption.
In this episode, Ronak Patel of Sunflower Lab explains how companies can use AI, RPA, and business intelligence to drive measurable outcomes—without overcomplicating the journey. Drawing from hands-on experience across industries, Ronak shares how his team helps organizations consolidate scattered data, automate repetitive processes, and unlock insights through practical AI applications.
Ronak walks through real-world examples, including automating purchase order creation from emails and faxes, and healthcare workflows where patient case creation, scheduling, and notifications are handled automatically while reducing manual effort. He explains why ROI analysis comes first, how Sunflower Lab identifies the right processes to automate, and why some automation ideas fail to deliver value.
The conversation also dives into generative AI, large language models, and “hyperautomation,” where AI and RPA work together to optimize both decision-making and execution. Ronak breaks down common misconceptions—such as the belief that AI understands everything by default—and explains why data quality, volume, and training matter.
For leaders just starting with AI, Ronak offers a clear framework: begin with everyday use cases, build organizational maturity, and only then pursue game-changing AI initiatives. This episode offers a grounded roadmap for turning AI from buzzword into business value.
