AI Readiness

What it does

AI Readiness walks you through a short wizard, then generates a personalized roadmap showing where AI tools can make the biggest difference in your business. The recommendations are specific to your type of business, your team size, and the operational challenges you describe.

After the roadmap is generated, a follow-up chat opens so you can dig into any recommendation, ask for implementation advice, or explore a specific tool in more detail.

The wizard

The AI Readiness wizard has three steps:

1. 1
   Your business context

   Business type, team size, how long you've been operating, and your primary revenue model.

2. 2
   Your operations

   How you currently handle scheduling, customer communication, marketing, and reviews. What's manual, what's automated, what's painful.

3. 3
   Your goals and comfort level

   What you're trying to improve and how comfortable your team is with new technology.

Reading your roadmap

The roadmap is organized by priority — highest-impact, lowest-effort opportunities first. For each recommendation, you'll see what the tool does, why it fits your specific situation, what it costs (most start free or under $50/month), and roughly how long it takes to set up.

Common recommendations for local service businesses include:

• AI-assisted review responses — draft responses to Google/Yelp reviews in seconds
• Automated appointment reminders — reduce no-shows without manual follow-up
• AI marketing copy — generate ad text, social posts, and email campaigns
• Customer follow-up sequences — automated post-visit check-ins and re-engagement
• Chatbot for FAQs — answer common questions on your website 24/7

Using the follow-up chat

After your roadmap generates, a chat interface opens. Use it to:

• Ask how to get started with a specific tool on the list
• Get a comparison of two similar options (e.g., "Podium vs. Birdeye for review management")
• Explore a use case that wasn't in the roadmap
• Ask what to prioritize if you only have time for one thing
