AI for Small Businesses

Simple ways to save time and work smarter

Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday business – but many entrepreneurs still aren’t sure how to use it in a practical way.

In this session, Dasha White and Vladimir Mosk, Orange Space AI, will demonstrate how tools like ChatGPT can become a simple and powerful assistant for business owners.

Using real examples, they will show how AI can help entrepreneurs save time, organize ideas, communicate with clients, and support daily business operations.

You’ll learn:
• Why AI often produces generic answers
• How to train ChatGPT to understand your business
• Simple prompting techniques anyone can use
• How to organize AI with Projects for different tasks
• Practical examples relevant to everyday small business operations

The session will also include a short live demonstration showing how entrepreneurs can start using AI immediately to reduce operational workload and work more efficiently.
