Guides for the job
Straight answers to what owners ask me before they put AI on a job.
- AI readiness self-checkFive lines about one job. An empty line is the job to wait on.
- A small-business AI budgetBudget AED 750 for one 60-minute hour before you budget a build. That is my assessment, and the price is the same anywhere in the UAE.
- Consultant or agencyA consultant tells you which job to fix. An agency builds it. Here, I am the consultant, and Ralveto, my company, is the agency.
- AI for founders in DubaiAI for a founder in Dubai starts with the weekly job that still gets done by hand, the same as anywhere else.
- AI readiness checklistAn AI readiness check for a small business is a short list: one repeated job, a named person who checks it, inputs you can point at, and a person who still checks anything a customer or a payment depends on.
- Assessment or a retainerBook the assessment if you want an answer: which three jobs to put AI on first, ranked, in one hour. Hire a retainer if you want someone on the books every month.
- ChatGPT or ClaudeFor a business, pick ChatGPT or Claude by one job and the company account the work will live in.
- How to brief an agencyBrief an agency with one weekly job, the person who checks the result, a file or a message from last week, and a sentence that says what done looks like.
- How to pick an AI toolPick an AI tool for one job you already do this week, and start with the assistant the business already pays for.
- How a small business startsStart with one job that already happens every week, name the person who checks the result, and try it on the chat tool you already pay for.
- Questions before you hireBefore you hire, ask who will do the work, what you leave the first meeting with, what it costs to start, and which finished work you can open.
- Red flags in a proposalTreat a proposal as unfinished when it will not name the weekly job, give you a price, or show a piece of work you can open.
- Should the business use AI yetYes, once you can point at one manual job from last week and name who signs off on it. Put AI on that job first.
- Which job goes firstThe first job to automate is one a person already repeats, where the inputs already exist as files or messages, and where a wrong result is obvious to the person who checks it.
Questions
How do I start using AI in my small business?
Pick one job that happens every week, name who signs off on the output, and try it on the tool you already pay for.
Does a guide replace the hour?
No. A guide answers the general question. In the hour I work it out on your own business and files.
