Start with repetitive work

The easiest wins for a small team are tasks that repeat every week: summarising customer feedback, drafting first versions of emails, or tagging support tickets. Begin there before attempting anything ambitious.

Keep a human in the loop

AI output should be reviewed, especially anything customer-facing, legal or financial. Treat it as a fast first draft, not a final answer.

Measure before and after

Pick one metric — response time, hours saved, or content output — and compare it honestly after a month.

Small, measurable experiments beat large, vague AI initiatives.

Protect your data

Review what information you share with third-party tools and read their data policies before uploading customer data.
