Abstract
Lists of AI use cases describe what AI could do. This field guide records what named organizations say they already do: ten use cases in each of ten industries, from insurance and banking to the public sector and professional services, each with its status, date and public source.
Each use case shows the value levers it moves and the KPIs a client would track. Results appear only where the source states them, in the source’s terms, and vendor-reported figures are marked. Seven patterns account for almost all of the hundred, and a readiness test helps you choose where to start.
It closes with what the organizations reporting outcomes have in common, and cautions on decisions about people and on self-reported numbers.
Decision it supports
Which AI uses already proven elsewhere would work in your organization, and which to start with.
What you will produce
A shortlist of three use cases scored on the five readiness questions, with one chosen to take end to end.

Three passages, as published
Named
This one records what named organizations say they are already doing, in ten industries, with the public source for each.
Patterns
Knowing the pattern matters more than knowing the industry
Workflow
Adding an assistant to an unchanged process tends to produce adoption figures and little else.
