The premise
Internal tool sprawl costs money and attention; AI usage analysis surfaces deprecation candidates that free resources for valuable work.
What AI does well here
- Aggregate usage data across internal tools (logins, active users, business value)
- Surface candidates for deprecation, consolidation, or investment
- Identify dependencies that complicate deprecation
- Generate the deprecation roadmap with stakeholder communication
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for stakeholder conversations about tool importance
- Replace the change management work that deprecation requires
- Make the decision unilaterally
