SUMMARY:MD SBDC - Where Do I Start with AI? A No-Nonsense Guide for Business Owners
DESCRIPTION:Struggling to figure out where AI fits in your business? Or are you’re getting the most out of it now? You’ve heard the buzz\, maybe even tried a tool or two\, but nobody’s answered the real question: where do you actually start? AI wasn’t built for just one thing. It can help across sales\, marketing\, operations\, customer service\, and finance. In this session\, you’ll learn how to think about AI at two levels: building it into your business systems\, and using it in your team’s daily work. You’ll see real examples of how small businesses are applying AI across different functions\, learn the common mistakes that cost owners time and money\, and understand how to make sure your team is using AI without putting your business data at risk. You’ll leave with a clear framework for identifying your first/next AI win. And if you want help getting started\, SkyeStaq works with small and mid-sized business owners to turn that first step into real results. Presenter\, Greg Chait; SkyeStaq Managing Partner – Strategy & Technology \nPlease use following link to register: https://mdsbdc.ecenterdirect.com/events/18552
