The hard part of implementing AI is not the technology. It is choosing where to start. A list of fifty possibilities is a recipe for doing none of them.

Start with the task that costs you most

Write down what you did last week that a trained assistant could have done. Typical answers: replying to the same questions, chasing a quote, copying details from one place into another, sending reminders, raising an invoice. Pick the one that cost the most time or lost the most money.

Three examples from this patch

The directory's best-of guides rank cleaners, gardeners and hairdressers among other service trades. Take three typical small operators from that kind of list.

- A cleaner loses jobs to slow replies and spends evenings confirming dates. The first task is enquiry replies and confirmations.
- A gardener works outdoors all day, so the first task is the same: answer quickly and offer a slot.
- A hair salon gets repeat questions about prices and availability. The first task is answering them and booking.

The four steps

Dean Keating's service follows four steps: a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. The audit is the point where the list of fifty becomes a list of one.

What implementation should leave you with

An agent working in the tools you already use, a team that knows how to supervise it, and someone to ring if it does something odd. His website calls this installed for you, not handed over.

What to avoid

Anything that needs a week of your time before it does anything. Anything that is sold as a platform to configure yourself, if what you wanted was the work done.

Being clear about fit

He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and does the build remotely. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby in person. Cost is given after the free call. He publishes this directory, so hear a second opinion.
