AI for Small Business Operations, Part 1 — Strategy & Documents
Most small business owners know AI can help — they’re just not sure where it actually fits or how to get output worth using. This hands-on session answers both.
We’ll start with the foundations: what today’s AI tools can and can’t do, how to think about ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini, and the handful of practices that separate generic answers from results you’d send to a client. Then we put it to work — live — on the strategic and document-heavy tasks that eat up an owner’s week.
You’ll watch AI handle real business operations in real time: market research with current data and sources, a competitive analysis, a professional proposal, a capability statement for pursuing contracts, and a financial projection you can reason from. No slideware fluff — actual deliverables, built start to finish.
YOU’LL LEAVE WITH
No technical background required. This is the first of a two-part series — Part 2 goes deeper into building reusable AI workflows and the new Claude for Small Business package — but Part 1 stands fully on its own.
