The questionnaire contains 180 questions, and the AI tool assists in finding answers from previous responses and drafting the document. However, despite the AI's help, the sales team faces delays in finalizing and sending the approved version to the client. The delays arise from unresolved control changes, the need for legal approval, and unclear responsibilities for certain product questions. The team must chase down missing information, coordinate with various stakeholders, and ensure all approvals are in place before the document can be delivered.

The key takeaway is that AI can expedite drafting, but the real challenge lies in the follow-up work that still needs human intervention. The team's workflow must be defined clearly to avoid bottlenecks and ensure efficient completion of the task. Before expanding AI deployment, companies should evaluate whether the process can handle increased customer requests without adding extra coordination work. The focus should be on defining completion requirements, setting up owners and statuses for each step, and ensuring that the human review process is efficient and effective.",
