Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about AI for small businesses, answered in simple terms.
Questions Small Business Owners Ask
We answer the questions we hear most often from small business owners. Everything explained in simple terms.
What exactly is AI transformation for small businesses?
It’s about adding AI tools and automation to day-to-day work so your team spends less time on repetitive tasks. For small businesses, this often starts with website chat, appointment booking flows, follow-up reminders, internal SOP search, and simple reporting.
When do we discuss pricing?
We confirm scope and timeline first, then share a written estimate after a short consultation. Pricing depends on your tools, integrations, and the workflow you want to automate.
Do I need to know anything about technology?
Not at all. We handle all the technical stuff. We set everything up, show you how to use it, and provide support. You just use the tools—like using email or a smartphone. We make sure everything is simple and easy for you and your team.
How long until I see results?
Timelines depend on scope and integrations. We typically start with a quick win (like chat or booking) and then expand, so you can validate value early while keeping disruption low.
What types of small businesses can use AI?
Most small businesses can benefit if they have repetitive tasks, customer questions, scheduling needs, or lots of inbound inquiries. Service businesses and professional offices often start with chat, booking, and follow-up automations.
Is my business information safe?
We take privacy seriously and discuss data handling upfront. We recommend reputable tools, use least-privilege access, and document what data is collected, where it flows, and who can access it. Where providers offer it, we enable settings that reduce data retention and limit training on your content.
