AI ASSISTANTS FOR SMALL BUSINESS

An AI assistant that knows your business — and knows when to ask you.

Help customers find answers, prepare everyday work, and save your team time. You choose what information AI can use, what it can do, and what needs a person.

✓ Uses your approved information    ✓ Follows your rules    ✓ Involves a person when needed

ILLUSTRATIVE CUSTOMER CONVERSATION

Do you provide free estimates?

ASSISTANT

Yes, we provide free estimates for standard services. I can take your contact details so our team can get in touch.

Answered from approved informationNo appointment or financial decision made.

What this demonstrates: Approved business knowledge + clear rules + a human handoff when needed. AI can still make mistakes; real implementations need testing and oversight.

This is a scripted educational example, not a live AI assistant. Answers refer to a fictional business. No questions, customer details or messages are collected or sent.

A good assistant does not need to answer everything. When important information is missing or a request is outside the rules, it can ask for clarification or pass the question to your team.

Now see where the answers come from

In the next demo, switch company documents on and off to see which answers remain available — and which requests still need a person.

You set the rules

Choose where information comes from, what the assistant can say and what needs approval.

A few rules can make a big difference

These are example safeguards that can be configured and tested for a real assistant.

Use approved information

Selected policies, files or pages — not unrestricted access to company data.

Don’t guess when information is missing

Ask for clarification or send the question to a person.

Get approval for sensitive requests

Discounts, refunds and important changes require the right permissions.

Let customers reach a real person

Provide a clear handoff path with relevant conversation context.

Keep record editing off by default

Only enable actions after permissions, limits and testing are in place.

Can AI still make mistakes? Yes. AI can make mistakes. We reduce the risk with approved information, access controls, careful testing and human review. No setup can promise perfect accuracy.

Where do answers come from?

It doesn’t need to know everything. Just the right things about your business.

INTERACTIVE KNOWLEDGE DEMO · SCRIPTED EXAMPLE

What happens when you change the information AI can use?

Turn example documents on and off. Then ask the assistant a question to see what changes — and what still needs a person.

Weekend appointments may be requested, but availability must be confirmed by a team member. No appointment is guaranteed without confirmation.

Discounts & refunds
Approval policy
Preview sample information

Only the business owner may approve discounts or refunds. An assistant must not promise or issue them independently.

Switching a source off removes it from this demonstration’s approved knowledge — not from the business itself.

BEHIND THE ANSWER

What would the business owner see?

1Question received

A customer asks about estimates.

2Knowledge checked

Services & estimates is enabled.

3Rules checked

This information may be shared.

4Next action

Give a source-based answer.

Your assistant does not have to search everything. We select appropriate sources, configure access, and test answers against the approved documents. Source-based responses reduce risk but do not guarantee perfect accuracy.

AI + Human: a team, not a replacement

The assistant takes care of repetitive information tasks. Your team stays responsible for important decisions.

AI CAN HELP

Routine requests

Find answers, draft responses and collect basic details.

YOU STILL DO

Human decisions

Approve exceptions, handle sensitive requests and maintain your business policies.

TODAY · MANUAL

Every question takes time

Customer asks → Owner opens the message → Finds a policy → Writes and sends the answer.

WITH A CONTROLLED ASSISTANT

Routine answers take fewer steps

Customer asks → Assistant checks approved knowledge → Answers or passes the question to a person.

You still decide: approvals, exceptions and sensitive matters.

Realistic examples

Explore how different assistants might work in everyday businesses.

EXAMPLE 01

Customer Support Assistant

Uses approved service and policy information to answer common customer questions and hand over exceptions.

EXAMPLE 02

Team Knowledge Assistant

Helps employees find approved procedures and answers in internal company documents.

FUTURE DEMOS & SCREENSHOTS

See the full process, not just the answer

This area is reserved for two short walkthroughs: a website customer assistant and an internal team knowledge assistant.

Customer Support

A question, an approved source, and a handoff when needed.

Team Knowledge

An employee finds the right company procedure without searching folders.

When you might not need AI

Sometimes a simpler solution is better.

If you only have a few fixed questions, a clear FAQ page might be enough. If the task follows the same steps every time, a standard automation may be more reliable and less expensive.

Setup, tools & costs

We choose tools based on your needs, existing systems and budget.

MICROSOFT 365 OPTION

Already using Microsoft 365?

Selected SharePoint content and a suitable Microsoft agent platform may provide a practical starting point. Licences and use charges depend on the setup.

WEBSITE OPTION

Need something simple for your website?

We can assess a suitable website assistant, connect approved information, and configure review and handoff rules.

Typical costs: initial setup and configuration, possible platform subscription or usage charges, keeping knowledge up to date, and optional integrations.

How we work together

A straightforward process, from one useful idea to a tested assistant.

STEP 01

Explore

Understand one task and decide whether AI is a good fit.

STEP 02

Set up & test

Configure knowledge, rules and handoffs; test realistic questions.

STEP 03

Launch & improve

Review test outcomes, agree costs and support, then monitor and improve after launch.
