Scenario:

Enterprises often deal with large datasets and complex decision processes. AI can help analyze data, generate insights, automate reporting, and support business decisions, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.

Step 0: Define Your Goal

Example workflow:

1. Pull sales, customer, and inventory data from multiple systems
2. Analyze trends, detect anomalies, and generate predictive insights
3. Automate reports and dashboards
4. Recommend actionable business decisions

Goal: Use AI to automate data-driven enterprise decision-making.

Step 1: Craft the AI Prompt

Treat AI as a business intelligence and automation expert. Include:

1. Data sources and type (databases, CSV, APIs)
2. Desired insights (KPIs, trends, predictions)
3. Optional: report formats, dashboards, alerts

Example Prompt:

Analyze sales, customer, and inventory data from our ERP and CRM. 
Generate predictive insights, identify anomalies, and create 
automated reports and dashboards for decision-making. 
Provide Python scripts and example outputs.

Step 2: AI Output Example

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load datasets
sales = pd.read_csv("sales.csv")
inventory = pd.read_csv("inventory.csv")
customers = pd.read_csv("customers.csv")

# Merge datasets
df = sales.merge(customers, on="customer_id").merge(inventory, on="product_id")

# Detect anomalies
threshold = df['amount'].mean() + 3*df['amount'].std()
anomalies = df[df['amount'] > threshold]

# Generate KPIs
top_customers = df.groupby('customer_id')['amount'].sum().sort_values(ascending=False).head(5)
low_inventory = df[df['stock'] < 10]

# Save automated report
report = pd.DataFrame({
    "Top Customers": top_customers.index,
    "Total Purchases": top_customers.values,
    "Low Inventory Products": low_inventory['product_id'].values
})
report.to_csv("enterprise_report.csv", index=False)

# Visualize trends
monthly_sales = df.groupby('month')['amount'].sum()
monthly_sales.plot(title="Monthly Sales Trends")
plt.savefig("monthly_sales_trends.png")
plt.show()

Step 3: Mini Lab Challenges

1. Ask AI to generate predictive sales forecasts using historical data.
2. Automate inventory alerts when stock is low.
3. Generate interactive dashboards with Plotly, Dash, or Power BI.
4. Challenge: Integrate recommendation systems for customers or products.

Step 4: Pro Tips

• Provide AI with structured datasets and clear business objectives
• Ask AI to automate repetitive reporting and KPI calculation
• Use AI insights to support strategic decisions, not just descriptive analysis
• Combine AI analysis with dashboards for real-time decision visibility
