Practical
No hype. Real, actionable AI ideas for your specific business

AI is no longer just for big companies

The tools that once cost millions are now available to any business for a few euros a month. The real challenge isn't access — it's knowing which tools are worth it and how to use them properly.

Most small businesses are either ignoring AI entirely or wasting money on tools that don't fit their needs. A focused strategy session cuts through that noise and gives you a clear, prioritised roadmap specific to how you work.

Other AI consultants charge €200–€500/hour and arrive with generic slide decks. My sessions are direct, conversational, and tailored — we talk about your actual business, your actual problems, and what AI can realistically do about them.

Small businesses now use AI regularly 68%
AI-using businesses report measurable results 83%
Report improved customer experience with AI 53%
Now use generative AI tools in their business 58%
