How do I offer AI services to local business?


I run a small, established web firm with a good local reputation.

I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to sell AI services to my clients, and other local businesses.

What are the possible business models, services or products I could offer?

Think businesses like restaurants, motels, builders, electricians, small retail, non-profits.

Ideas:

1. Simple, branded, BYOK ChatGTP 2. AI "box" that's trained on their data. 3. AI customer support / assist service. 4. AI content generation.

Do they want this? Do their customers?

There are a whole bunch of restaurants near me which don't even have a website. They get more foot traffic than they can handle and don't want to give up %age to Deliveroo.

If you can't articulate the problem you can solve with AI then stop. Go and talk to people. See what problems they have and how you can fix it.

Remember - people don't want a drill, they want a hole. And they don't want a hole, they want a picture hook. And they don't even want a picture hook, they want to hang up some art.
