SMBs now have enterprise-grade AI within reach. This guide shows how to prioritize workflows, pick tools, train teams, and measure ROI safely.
Why AI Matters for SMBs
Growth levers
AI accelerates revenue (faster campaigns), cuts costs (automation), and boosts resilience (documentation). Map each lever to workflows and link them to PromptWorld resources.
Budget frameworks
Start with 3–8% of operating expenses: 50% tooling, 30% training, 20% experimentation. Track KPIs (cost per asset, response time) in Tutorials Hub.
Core Use Cases
- Marketing & sales: use Marketing Copy, Product, and Social prompts to launch campaigns.
- Support automation: deploy Gemini/ChatGPT bots, summarize tickets with AI Prompt Library.
- Finance/HR/admin: automate invoices, job posts, SOPs.
- Product content: combine Portrait/Landscape/Product prompts for catalogs.
Tool Stack Blueprint
Recommended apps from the AI Tools Directory with prompt pairings for each workflow.
Implementation Roadmap
- Pilot → measure → optimize (3-week tests with predefined KPIs).
- Governance & change management (policies, consent, office hours, retros).
