Small-Business AI Workflow Starter Kit

Start with one narrow AI workflow you can control and measure.

The Small-Business AI Workflow Starter Kit helps you identify practical opportunities, score risk and effort, plan human approval, estimate assumptions, and run a focused 30-60-90 day adoption plan.

Who this is for

• Small-business owners, operations managers, team leads, and consultants
• Teams that want a practical first workflow instead of broad automation

Not for: fully autonomous operations, regulated decisions without professional review, or guaranteed savings.

Fastest way to start with an AI chat

1. Download the ZIP file from your delivery email.
2. Open ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, or another AI assistant approved for the information you plan to use.
3. Upload the entire ZIP file directly to the chat.
4. Paste the starter prompt below and answer the AI's questions one at a time.

If ZIP upload is not supported: Extract the ZIP and upload START-HERE.pdf, QUICK-START-LLM-CHAT.txt, and the files needed for your current task.

Starter prompt: "I purchased the Small-Business AI Workflow Starter Kit and uploaded its files. First explain what each file does, recommend where I should start to choose and design one practical AI workflow, then ask me up to five questions one at a time and guide me step by step. Use only the information I provide, flag missing details, and remind me where human review is required."

Formats and compatibility

Includes editable Microsoft Word and Excel files, PDFs, and plain-text prompts. Ready-to-adapt workflows cover meeting follow-up, customer-inquiry drafting, and content repurposing.

Privacy and human review

Do not paste sensitive information into an AI service unless your organization has approved that tool and use. Calculated time or cost estimates are assumptions, not guaranteed results. Human review remains required.

License

One purchaser may use and adapt the files with up to ten people in the same organization. Resale, redistribution, sublicensing, public posting, and repackaging are not allowed.
