Best AI automation opportunities for SMEs
Direct answer
Most SMEs should start with repeatable, low-risk workflows where staff already lose time every week. That usually means admin, customer enquiries, quoting support, meeting notes, reporting, document triage and internal knowledge search.
How to prioritise
- List repetitive workflows.
- Estimate time lost per month.
- Check privacy and quality risk.
- Identify quick wins that do not require heavy integration.
- Build a 90-day roadmap before scaling.
