The book
AI Tactix for Small Business
The simple guide to implementing AI in your business
Written just weeks after ChatGPT launched, it was one of the first practical guides for owners who wanted to understand AI without the overwhelm.
The tools have moved a long way since then. What has held up is the approach: work out what the business does before deciding where the technology belongs.
