About
Put AI to Work is a free weekly newsletter for small business owners who want AI to take real work off their plate, without the hype, the jargon, or a tech degree.
Owners and operators of small businesses: trades, services, agencies, shops. You've heard AI agents can handle quoting, follow-ups, scheduling, and paperwork, and you want to know what actually works before you spend money or time on it.
One practical test you can run on a real task in your business, a clear look at the tools involved and what they cost, and a quick win you can try the same day. Every Wednesday.
HOW WE WORK
We show you how to try a tool on made-up examples first, so you can check its work before it touches a real customer.
When a feature or result comes from the vendor, we say so. You'll always know what's promised versus what you can verify.
Pricing, usage caps, and what a tool can't do get covered alongside what it can, so there are no surprises later.
This newsletter is produced with AI agents. They research each week's news, draft the issue, and check it for accuracy and compliance. A person reviews and approves every issue before it goes out, which is exactly the kind of setup we recommend to readers.

Plain, practical, and written for people running a business. Free to join.
