AI for Small Business Owners

Gulrez Khan

Data Science Leader Microsoft, PayPal

No code, no jargon. Your first real step into AI starts here!

"I know AI is a big deal. But every time I try to figure it out,
I end up down a rabbit hole and nothing actually changes in my business."

...This is how most of the Small Business Owners like you feel right now.

You already know AI is changing things. What nobody tells us is exactly how to use it when you're
- the owner,
- the marketer,
- the customer service team and
- the accountant — all at once.

Every module ends with a hands-on exercise. By the time the workshop closes, you'll have built real assets for your business, not just watched a demo.

The primary audience is small business owners who are running lean — typically solo or with a very small team — who feel the pressure of doing everything themselves. They're not technical. They don't have a marketing department, an ops manager, or an IT person. They're the person writing the Instagram caption at 10pm after a full day of actual work.

Who it's not for: someone looking for deep technical knowledge, developers, or anyone already using AI daily with a working system. This is an entry point, not an advanced course.

What you’ll learn

    Workshop agenda

    • Simplifying AI in plain Language

      Before you touch a single tool, you need a way to think about AI that actually holds up in the real world. This module introduces the 4Ds: Delegation, Description, Discernment and Diligence.

    • AI for Content & Marketing

      Content is where most small business owners feel the squeeze hardest — and where AI delivers the fastest, most visible return. This module builds a repeatable content workflow you can use every week.

    • AI for Operations & Customer Service

      This module addresses the quieter time drains: customer replies, admin loops, and the data you're sitting on but not using.

    • Your AI toolkit & budget

      The AI tool market is loud, expensive-looking, and constantly changing. This module cuts through it — giving you a lean, effective stack that fits a real small business budget.

    • Your 30-day Plan

      The workshop ends with something concrete in your hands. Every participant leaves with a personalised 30-day action plan built around their own business, , their own 4D gaps, and the tools.
