You’ve Tried AI. It Gave You Something Generic.

That’s the most common story I hear from owners. The tools are genuinely good now. The hard part is knowing which jobs to hand them, and how to ask.

So I wrote down the 99 I see paying off most in small businesses, from same-day lead replies to SOPs, review responses, product copy and cash flow. Pick five, use them this week, and you’ll feel the difference by Friday.

  • Turn how you do things into SOPs. Talk through a task out loud and let AI write it up as steps.
  • Ask for reviews after every visit. Short, friendly texts and emails that get sent every time.
