AI for Small to Medium business - Efficiency & Cost cutting

AI for SMEs – The Starter Session
First taste of how smart tools can tame today’s Irish cost squeeze.

Why you should attend
Inflation, insurance hikes, rising rates—running a small business here can feel like sprinting uphill in sand. You can’t rewrite revenue’s tax code, but you can point cheap, off-the-shelf AI at the work that soaks up cash and head-space. This intro session is your spark: one hour to see what’s possible and decide where to dig next.

###

• A plain-English tour of real-world AI uses—no jargon
