The AI Small Business
Real, sourced AI stories from small businesses
A free library of 105 real ways small businesses use AI. Every story links to its public source and is labelled owner, press or vendor. Guides by trade, tool comparisons ranked by real use, and copy-paste prompts. No paid placement.
Hi PH! I'm Collin. I built The AI Small Business because most of what I read about "AI for small business" was either hype or a vendor's case study dressed up as advice.
So the rule here is simple: every example has to be real and link to where it came from. Each one is labelled by who told it. Owner means the owner in their own words (a blog, a post, a podcast). Press means a journalist reported it. Vendor means a tool company's case study, and we only keep those if they quote a named person at a real business. Owner stories rank first, then press, then vendor. Results are shown as the source reported them, and nothing is made up or "illustrative".
Right now there are 105 examples: 31 from owners, 21 from the press and 53 from vendors. The goal is to keep shifting that mix toward owners. There are 40 guides (like AI receptionists for plumbers and HVAC, or review replies for restaurants), and 28 tool comparisons ranked by how many owner and press stories name each tool. Nobody can pay to move up, and prices only show when we've checked them, with the date.
It's free to read. If you'd rather not set things up yourself, my team does done-for-you setups from $497, but you don't need that to use the site.
I'd love two things from you: stories from real owners I've missed (there's a submit form), and anywhere you think the sourcing falls short.
