AI Training/AI for Business Owners
AI that earns its keep — in plain English
A free, 90-minute workshop for owners and managers of local businesses. No code, no hype, no homework — just three things you can put to work on Monday morning, and an honest picture of what AI can and can’t do for a business like yours.
Why it matters
“AI” is everywhere — and for most business owners it is pure noise: jargon, hype, and a nagging worry that competitors are already ahead. So nothing gets done, while the tools that genuinely save hours sit unused and the cowboys sell glorified chatbots for thousands.
Show, don’t sell. You watch real tools answer real questions about a business like yours — enquiries, bookings, reviews, admin — and leave knowing exactly where an hour of AI saves you a day of work, and where it’s not worth the money.
What you’ll leave knowing
- The three jobs AI is genuinely good at for a small business today — and the ones it still isn’t
- How to answer enquiries, reviews and FAQs in your own voice, day and night, without hiring
- One automation you can set up this week to claw back admin hours
- How to spot AI “snake oil” so you never overpay for a chatbot in a fancy wrapper
Who it’s for
Owners, managers and teams of local businesses — hospitality, retail, trades, clinics, salons, professional services. Absolute beginners welcome: if you can use a smartphone, you can follow every minute.
How the session runs
Practical from the first minute — you don’t sit and watch slides, you try it.
What AI actually is (in 10 minutes)
No maths, no buzzwords. What today’s tools really do — shown live — so the rest of the hour makes sense.
Three quick wins for your business
Live demos on a business like yours: an assistant that answers enquiries, a reviews-and-reputation helper, and an admin task done in seconds.
Your one Monday-morning win
You leave with one specific thing to try this week — set up in the room, on your own phone, before you go.
What it costs to go further (and what it shouldn’t)
An honest map of free tools, paid tools, and where a done-for-you build is worth it — so you never overpay.
What you walk away with
A clear, jargon-free understanding of what AI does for a business like yours
One automation set up before you leave the room
An optional free follow-up audit mapping AI to your specific business
No catch — here’s exactly how it works
The workshop is free and useful on its own. If you want us to take it further, the path is open and obligation-free.

Get a free 15-minute audit
If you want, we map AI to your specific business — your enquiries, bookings, reviews, admin — and show you where an hour of setup saves a day of work.
Build it only if it pays
If a done-for-you assistant or automation clearly earns its keep, we quote a fixed price. If it doesn’t, you keep the ideas and owe us nothing.
