AI use cases for small business
AI use cases for small business: automate admin, support and research, and set up private AI. Example prompts, honest limits and scored tools.
Scope. Most tools we score are open-source developer tools. Some of these use cases need a developer or technical helper to set up. For ready-made, non-technical apps (for example hosted email, CRM or accounting assistants) we do not have scored data yet, so we do not rank them here.
