Last reviewed: 2026-07-14
Executive summary
Small businesses should automate repetitive, high-frequency processes first—lead routing, invoice follow-ups, status updates—before chasing exotic AI. Reliability beats cleverness.
Automate first

- Deal stage → task checklist
- Support tag → SLA timer
- Weekly report assembly from known sources
