By AI workflow shape
Industry patterns indexed by AI workflow shape — RAG, agent, classification, generation, multimodal.
A cross-cut index. If you shop for patterns by what your AI feature does rather than by which industry you're in, this is the entry point.
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
Your AI retrieves source material and synthesizes an answer with citations. Faithfulness against retrieved chunks is the core dimension.
Healthcare — clinical decision support — guideline retrieval + faithfulness + drug-interaction rules
Government — citizen-services chatbot — versioned policy retrieval + reading-level + multilingual parity
Legal — AI research citation verification — case-law retrieval + citation-existence + holding-accuracy
Manufacturing — visual quality inspection (uses retrieval over manuals when paired with technician guidance)
Multi-step agents
Your AI plans, calls tools, and decides when it's done. Pre- and post-deployment agentic evaluation with deterministic span-level rules is the right shape.
Insurance — claims-triage agent — span-level escalation rule + assertions + tone judge
Healthcare — clinical decision support — also fits if the assistant calls drug-interaction databases as tools
Classification and detection
Your AI classifies content into categories or detects targets in inputs. Per-class precision/recall, confusion-matrix tracking, and per-segment fairness are the dimensions.
Media — content moderation — per-category recall + cross-language parity
Manufacturing — visual quality inspection — per-defect-class accuracy + condition-stratified disparity
Energy — vegetation-management imagery — hazard-class accuracy + season-stratified disparity
Financial services — fair-lending platform — false-positive disparity across protected-class proxies
Content generation
Your AI generates user- or customer-facing copy, descriptions, summaries. Specification accuracy, brand voice, and uniqueness are the dimensions.
Retail — product description generation — specification accuracy + brand voice + uniqueness
Travel — multilingual booking assistant — booking-detail accuracy + cultural fit per locale
Conversational with policy gates
Your AI handles a multi-turn customer interaction with strict policy or pricing rules. Citation, exact-match, and continuous trace eval are the dimensions.
Telecom — customer-service pricing accuracy — JSON-schema pricing citation + numeric exact-match
Education — AI tutor — Socratic vs. answer-giving + age-appropriateness
Government — citizen-services chatbot — also fits
Multimodal (image / video / audio)
Your AI processes non-text inputs. Per-modality scorers paired with text-output judges.
Manufacturing — visual quality inspection — image classification under varied lighting
Energy — vegetation-management imagery — drone imagery, season-stratified
Real estate — automated property valuation — listing photos + comparable sales
Where to next
Industries — full per-vertical depth
Use cases — by AI workflow shape (broader framing)
