AI for Small Business: From Overwhelmed to Automated

You don't need another platform. You need one real process in your business running on autopilot by the end of this session — chosen from what you're actually doing, not a generic use-case list.

The problem

You're running the business AND trying to figure out AI at the same time

What you'll walk away with

One real process in your business, automated by the end of the session

01

A working automation, not a demo

You'll pick one recurring task — invoicing follow-up, customer replies, scheduling — and leave with it actually set up.

02

A tool-fit checklist

How to tell, in under five minutes, whether an "AI feature" in a tool you already pay for is worth using.

03

A prompt library for your business

Reusable prompts for the writing tasks that eat your week — customer emails, social captions, proposals.

04

A 30-day next-steps plan

What to automate next, in order, so this doesn't stay a one-time experiment.

The session

90 minutes, start to finish

Where owners actually lose time

The three places small business AI has the fastest payoff — and the ones that waste your time.

Pick your process

You'll identify the one recurring task in your business worth automating first.

Build it live

Step by step, set up that automation using tools you likely already have.

Prompt library walkthrough

Copy-and-adapt prompts for your customer-facing writing.

Questions

Bring your specific business — we'll troubleshoot it live.

Is this for you

This is for you if

  • You're a solo owner or small team without dedicated tech support
  • You want one concrete win, not a strategy overview
  • You're willing to bring a real task from your business to work on

Skip it if

  • You already run automated workflows across your business
  • You're a nonprofit — see the Governance Basics or Agentic AI sessions instead
  • You want a custom build, not a self-serve setup
Your instructor

Founder of Aligned-AI. Ten years of hands-on operational experience, over $10M raised across roles that required doing more with less. This session is built the way she'd want to be taught: concrete, plug-and-play, no jargon.

Questions

Do I need technical skills?

No — this is built for owners without a tech background or team.

What should I bring?

A laptop, and one recurring task in your business you'd like to automate.

What if I can't attend live?

Every seat includes the recording — you'll still get the full session.

Two dates. One process off your plate.
