Today’s prompt: Expert Insights on Turning Unstructured Data into a Strategic Advantage

Most businesses don’t have an AI problem. They have a document problem. Invoices, contracts, emails, tickets, PDFs, slide decks, meeting notes—this is where decisions are made and value is created. It’s also where data goes to die. That’s “dark data”: information that exists, matters, and costs you money… but isn’t usable by your systems or trusted by your team.

A recent piece in The Economic Times points to the real unlock: turning unstructured information into structured, governed inputs your business can actually run on.
