Chapter 1: Introduction - Why Most Businesses Get AI Wrong

Welcome to the AI revolution that’s already happening in Australian small business.

While you’ve been hearing about ChatGPT and wondering if AI is just hype, your competitors have quietly been automating their customer service, streamlining their marketing, and freeing up hours every week.

Here’s the problem: There are over 2,847 AI tools available right now. Most are rubbish. Many are expensive. Some will actually slow you down.

After working with over 1,000 small business owners across Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne, I’ve identified exactly 5 tools that deliver real results for real businesses.

This isn’t about replacing humans. It’s about getting your time back.

The businesses using these 5 tools are:

• Responding to customers 10x faster
• Creating a week’s worth of social media content in 20 minutes
• Automating appointment bookings and follow-ups
• Writing professional emails that actually get responses
• Tracking what actually works (and dropping what doesn’t)
