Getting Started with AI for Small Businesses

Many small business owners hear "AI" and think it's only for big tech companies or requires a team of developers. The reality is simpler: AI tools can help you automate routine tasks, answer customer questions faster, and free up time for the work that really matters.

What AI Actually Means for Small Businesses

For most small businesses, AI isn't about building complex systems from scratch. It's about using tools that:

• Answer common questions automatically — so you don't have to repeat the same information dozens of times a day
• Capture and organize leads — turning inquiries into structured information you can act on
• Handle routine follow-ups — sending confirmations, reminders, and next steps without manual work

Start Simple

The best approach is to pick one repetitive task that takes up time but doesn't require deep thinking. Common examples:

• Responding to "What are your hours?" or "Do you have availability next week?"
• Collecting contact information and basic details from new inquiries
• Sending follow-up messages after someone books a service

Once you've identified that one task, you can explore tools that handle it automatically—often with a simple setup that takes a few hours, not weeks.
