About this track

You do not need a tech team to get real value from AI. You need to know where it pays off in your business, and how to use it without damaging customer trust. You will map your business as a system to find where time and money leak, then use AI to market in your own voice, answer enquiries fast, write quotes and follow-ups that close, handle reviews properly, write SOPs, tame the inbox, connect your tools with simple automations that have a human checkpoint, read your numbers, price with confidence and plan the next 90 days. Every lesson has ready-to-use prompts you run on the page with your own business details, and the labs are done on the platform. The capstone is a 30-day AI rollout in your own business.

Who it's for: Owners and managers of small businesses (1 to 50 people): shops, salons, trades, clinics, agencies, restaurants, consultancies and online stores. No tech team or technical background needed.
