SMB AI Adoption Program
AI From Prompt to Process
A 75–90 minute session for small businesses, delivered with community organizations. You bring a process that costs you time. You leave having mapped it, decided where a person must stay in it, and designed a small experiment to find out whether it is worth changing.
It is vendor-neutral, and it is not a product pitch. Some workflows should not use AI at all — the session teaches you how to tell which.
What you leave with
Four artifacts you can use whether or not you ever buy anything from us.
An opportunity map
Where AI may and may not fit in your business — including the places it should not.
One workflow card
Your business maps a single real workflow: its inputs, steps, output, and who reviews what. You keep the card.
A responsible-use checklist
What data may enter a tool, what must not, and what the tool does with it afterwards.
A 30-day experiment
One measure, one baseline, one review date — small enough to actually run.
Map one workflow now
The workflow card is the session's first artifact — and you do not have to wait for a session. Fill it in online, in English or 中文. No name or contact is asked on the card, it is yours to keep, and submitting it contacts no one. At a live session, the paper card is the same card.
Fill in the workflow cardWho it is for
- Owners and operators who can name a recurring process but have no one in-house to design it
- Solo and small professional practices — accountants, attorneys, agents, realtors, consultants — where your own work product is the workflow
- Anyone who has tried AI tools individually and cannot get from "useful answer" to "repeatable work"
How the time is spent
- 0–10 minWhat changed, what did not, and why workflow is the unit that matters
- 10–25 minOpportunity map: the repetitive document, message, research, and handoff work in your business
- 25–45 minA worked example, start to finish — with the human review step visible throughout
- 45–60 minRisk, data, accuracy, access, and vendor boundaries
- 60–75 minBuild your 30-day experiment and decide how you will measure it
- 75–90 minQuestions, and the next step you choose — including none
A deeper follow-up session is designed afterwards from what the room actually brought, rather than delivered from a prepared deck.
Upcoming sessions
Sessions are announced together with the organizations hosting them, and registration is handled by the host. Nothing is scheduled at the moment. If you would like to be told when a session opens near you, send us a note and we will reply when there is a real date and a real host to point you at.
Host a session for your members
We deliver this with chambers, professional associations, colleges, libraries, and business-assistance organizations. The host brings the room and the invitation; we bring the curriculum, the facilitation, and a summary of what the room learned.
What a host gets
- A session built for your members, not a generic deck
- Aggregate learning from the room, back to you
- A follow-up session designed from what the first one surfaced
What a host never gives up
- Your member or attendee list — we do not receive it
- Control of the content to any vendor or sponsor
- Your members' consent: attending is not permission to sell to them
Sponsors can underwrite a session — venue, refreshments, or delivery. Support is disclosed in the room, and a sponsor does not choose the curriculum, the recommendations, or who gets contacted afterwards.
After the workshop, if you want more
Every next step is optional and opt-in. Attending does not put you on a list. Some businesses run their experiment alone and never speak to us again, which is a perfectly good outcome.
Workshop content is educational. It is not legal, tax, financial, privacy, cybersecurity, or regulatory advice, and it does not guarantee savings, compliance, or business results.
