Interactive architecture advice
AI vs Traditional Automation
Answer a few questions to explore a suggested pattern and its trade-offs. Each answer explains why it fits, what you gain and what to check before putting it into practice.
Start with the task, rather than the technology. Explicit rules suit repeatable work; interpretation may benefit from AI, with checks matched to the consequences.
01Your requirements
For example, routing an invoice by an exact amount is a rule. Interpreting a free-text complaint needs judgement.
Consider the effect of an incorrect action on a person, data, money or service availability.
Suggested pattern
Answer the questions to explore a starting pattern.
Architecture depends on workload, risk, team capability and constraints. Validate assumptions and evaluate a small proof of concept; this is a starting point for your design.
Turn this into a practical decision
- Write down five normal examples and five difficult cases.
- Build a simple rules-based baseline where possible.
- Compare error rates, review effort and operating cost before choosing more complexity.
