AI Agents for Small Business: What They Can and Cannot Do

AI agents are software assistants that can answer, schedule and follow up on their own. For a small business they are useful when the task is repetitive and the rules are clear.

Good uses today

• Answering common customer questions on WhatsApp and your website
• Capturing and qualifying new leads
• Booking appointments
• Sending reminders and review requests
• Drafting replies for your team to approve

Where to be careful

Pricing exceptions, complaints, medical or legal advice and anything that needs judgement. Always give customers an easy way to reach a person.

How to start

Pick one task, write the ten most common questions and answers, test with your team for two weeks, then switch it on for customers.

Protect your data

Use tools with clear privacy terms, do not paste customer secrets into public tools and tell customers when they are talking to an AI.
