Lesson 2 of 10 in Small Business AI Foundations
The one idea
Do not start by asking, "What can AI do?" Start by asking, "Where does my business lose time every week?"
Good first AI tasks happen often, have a clear input and output, and are easy for you to check. Customer questions, social posts, product descriptions, follow-ups, messy notes, and staff checklists are usually good places to start.
Bad first tasks carry real harm if they go wrong: tax decisions, legal advice, hiring and firing, payment approvals, bank-detail changes, or private customer information.
