What is AI, and how can it benefit my small business?
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, uses advanced algorithms to automate tasks, analyze data, and generate content. One form of AI is generative AI, which includes tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude. Generative AI is a predictive engine that determines the most likely next word in a sequence, enabling it to create content, draft responses, and much more. For small businesses, AI saves time, boosts productivity, and improves processes like marketing, customer communication, and website optimization. Our personalized AI assistants make these tools practical and impactful for your business.
How do personalized AI assistants differ from generic AI tools?
Personalized AI assistants are tailored to your specific business, industry, and goals, unlike generic tools that provide one-size-fits-all solutions. They are designed to reflect your brand’s tone, style, and unique requirements, delivering outputs that align with your objectives. For a deeper dive into why tailored solutions outperform off-the-shelf AI, check out our blog post.
What specific tasks can your AI assistants help with?
Our AI assistants are purpose-built to handle tasks like writing blog posts, suggesting website improvements and optimizing content, drafting contracts, analyzing financial statements for key insights, composing sales emails, and more. They can also help craft your mission statement, vision statement, core values, unique value proposition, and slogan/tagline—ensuring all outputs are tailored to your business needs. Ultimately, it comes down to the power of your imagination, as AI assistants are broadly applicable and can be powerful in many areas.

How do you ensure the AI-generated content matches my brand’s voice and style?
We use several methods to ensure the AI assistant reflects your unique voice and style. One option is for you to provide samples of your writing or speaking, which we analyze to develop a tailored profile. Alternatively, for tasks like blog writing, you can share 3 to 5 examples of blogs you feel best represent your desired tone and style. If you have brand guidelines or tone/style documentation, we can use those as a foundation. Additionally, we use an iterative feedback process—after reviewing initial outputs, you can provide input to refine the tone and style further. This ensures the assistant evolves to match your exact preferences.
What kind of training and support do you provide for using AI assistants?
We provide comprehensive support for our personalized AI assistants. Our blog, like this post, offers tips and insights to help you maximize results. Additionally, we personally walk you through how to use your assistant, offering ideas on how to interact with it and improve results. As your business evolves, your AI assistant may need adjustments, so we include a free edit every three months to ensure it continues to meet your needs.
How long does it take to develop a personalized AI assistant?
The typical time frame for delivery is 2–4 weeks. This timeline largely depends on how quickly clients provide feedback on the samples we share during the iterative process. Timely feedback helps us refine the AI assistant to perfectly match your needs and goals.
How do you handle data privacy and security with AI solutions?
Our personalized AI assistants currently use ChatGPT as the underlying engine. While this tool is powerful, it’s important to note that it collects training data through its use and stores chat histories in an unsecured manner. For sensitive information like financial statements, we recommend removing identifiable details (e.g., company names) to minimize risk. However, we advise clients to always treat data shared with the AI as unsecured and use caution when handling confidential information.
What are the costs associated with implementing your AI solutions for a small business?
Our personalized AI tools are charged on a subscription basis, typically around $100 per month or $1,000 per year. This pricing applies to tools like blog writers, contract writers, and web optimization assistants. For tools that require less extensive customization, fees are lower. Fees may go up if it requires API connections. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and receive a tailored quote.
How can I measure the effectiveness and ROI of AI in my business operations?
To measure the ROI of an AI assistant, start by gathering data on your current time usage, costs, or other relevant metrics. After using the AI assistant, track the same measures to see improvements. Many of our clients report significant time and cost savings. One client shared, “Eric’s work on creating personalized AI assistants for my blog and website analysis has been transformative. I now complete tasks in minutes, not hours, and have seen a significant spike in website traffic and engagement.”
