AI as a watchdog is one of the best underused use cases right now

Almost no one is using AI as a watchdog, and that's a missed opportunity. Practically, this means placing an AI in Slack to catch duplicative work, putting an AI on your calendar to flag scheduling conflicts, or running an AI over your meeting transcripts to surface where disagreement is happening. Even cross-functional gap analysis — comparing contracts before and after edits, spotting inconsistencies across teams — was considered a groundbreaking use case a decade ago. That same capability exists today at a far more advanced level, and most organizations still aren't using it. The watchdog model isn't just about visibility; the real value is anomaly detection paired with actionable insights.
