In practice
For a small business, the practical definition matters more than the technical one: AI is a drafting and transformation layer. It is excellent at producing a first version and poor at guaranteeing a fact, which is why every serious workflow keeps a human decision at the end.
We research and document AI workflows for small businesses across Kenya and the wider continent, written from operating realities, not theory. Everything we publish is built to be used the same day you read it — scripts, checklists and systems.
