AI Pipeline

An AI pipeline is a sequence of processing steps — some involving AI, some not — that takes an input and produces a defined output. For example: raw customer feedback → AI categorization → AI sentiment analysis → human review → formatted report. Pipelines are how organizations build reliable, repeatable AI workflows rather than ad hoc AI use.

A well-designed AI pipeline is testable, auditable, and improvable — you can measure quality at each stage and make targeted improvements without rebuilding the whole thing.
