How do I work out where AI would help my small business?
Start with one bottleneck, not a big AI plan. The free AI Assessment is a 20-minute call that finds the one job costing you the most time or money, and you get a written fix you can act on, whether or not you work with us.
If you want the full picture across the business, the AI Deep Dive maps every opportunity and ranks what to build first. It costs $890 one-time.
Start with one bottleneck: the free AI Assessment
Most small businesses don’t need an AI strategy. They need the phone answered, quotes followed up and invoices chased. The Assessment finds which of those, or something else entirely, is hurting you most.
- 20 minutes, five targeted questions about how your business actually runs
- We research it afterwards and send you one actionable fix
- No commitment and no pitch deck. If AI isn’t the answer, we’ll tell you.
It suits you if you know something’s slipping but aren’t sure what AI could do about it.
When you want the full picture: the AI Deep Dive
The Deep Dive goes through the whole business rather than one problem. It takes a couple of days, and you get a full report that sets out the wins against three outcomes: saving time, making money and improving your product or service.
- Your highest-value AI opportunities, ranked by what’s worth doing first
- The specific workflows an AI Employee could take over
- A simple, step-by-step implementation guide you can follow with us or without us
It costs $890 one-time. It suits you if several things are slipping, or you want a plan before spending anything on setup.

Do the maths on your own numbers
You don’t need our figures. Use yours. For example: if you miss five calls a week, and one in five of those would have become a job worth $2,000, that’s $2,000 a week walking out the door.
That’s a hypothetical. Put in your own call count, conversion rate and job value, and that’s roughly what the Assessment helps you check. For more on where the money goes, see what missed calls are actually costing you.
What happens next
If it’s worth doing, we build your AI Employee:
- We sit in for a week to learn how you work.
- We build it on your pricing, tone and rules, inside the tools you already use.
- It runs for two weeks on probation, with nothing going out unchecked.
- We stay on with fortnightly reviews.
It’s month to month after setup. If it isn’t worth doing, you keep the fix or the report, and that’s the end of it. For one common first job, see an AI receptionist for your small business.
Common questions
Yes. It’s 20 minutes, with no commitment, and you keep the written fix either way.
No. We ask about your business, not about technology.
It’s for when you want a plan before committing. It takes a couple of days, and you get a full report with a step-by-step guide you can follow with us or without us.
Only if what you’ve got is holding you back. We work with Xero, ServiceM8, HubSpot and most of the usual tools.
Then we’ll say so. The Assessment is there to find out, not to sell.
