AI for MSMEs: Where to Start, What to Ignore, and What Actually Works

About the Webinar:

Artificial intelligence is drawing increasing interest among MSMEs, yet many businesses remain unsure how to approach it in a structured and useful way.
The discussion explores how AI fits into existing MSME operations and why introducing tools without process clarity often leads to poor outcomes. It highlights the importance of sequence—establishing order and systems first, and then using AI to support them.
A clear framework for approaching AI is outlined, followed by a demonstration of one practical AI use case using a free tool. Other free AI tools relevant to MSMEs are also briefly covered, keeping the focus on clarity, discipline, and realistic adoption rather than experimentation or trend-following.
Intended for MSME founders and teams seeking a structured, practical approach to AI adoption.
