Show & Tell: Meet the Real Small Business Owners Using AI

SEP28
15:00

About this event

You've heard AI is going to change everything. What you probably haven't seen is someone who runs a business like yours actually using it, on an ordinary Tuesday, to get through the to-do list.
That's what this is.
Together, Launch by Lunch and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce Foundation is bringing together four Greater Boston small business owners, real people we've worked with, to tell the real non-technical story of how AI has changed their business. Hear from…
A Doggie Daycare owner who automated her vaccination workflow→ Time saved: 8 hours/week ⏱️
The CEO of a financial firm who builds decks and graphics in seconds using Claude Design→ Time saved: 20 hours/week ⏱️
The founder of a Wellness Community who now co-runs it with her AI Chief of Staff→ Time saved: 12 hours/week ⏱️
And the CEO of a small life sciences company who built an inventory system→ Time saved: 20 hours/week ⏱️
And they’re not just going to tell you about it. They’ll show you live.
We'll put their actual automations up on the screen and show you how the work gets done. 🧑💻
Our hope is that these use cases inspire you to get started and dive into AI.
After the panel, join us for light bites and good conversation, and meet the people leading the AI transformation for small businesses. In our experience, that's where the real change happens. 🍔
And because we know time and money are the two things small businesses never have enough of, we'll share how you can access up to $15,000 a year in free AI training through the Massachusetts Commonwealth Corporation, so cost is one less thing standing between you and getting started.💰
Come see what's possible for your business.
Moderators: Karen Kelly & Ariel Galipeau
