AI for other small businesses

Painters, cleaners, roofers, mechanics, hairdressers — if you run a small service business, the same four headaches usually come up: quoting, inbox, reminders and reviews.

Start with your biggest headache

Pick one job that eats your evenings — usually quotes or replying to enquiries — and try AI on that for a week before adding anything else.

A simple starter setup

  • A free AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini).
  • Your existing accounting software.
  • One automation once you're comfortable.
