Building AI Systems for Small Businesses
Exploring the practical applications of AI in small teams and the importance of automation over complexity.
AI adoption in small teams is underdone. The edge is practical automation—booking, follow-ups, day-to-day ops. Measure, iterate, compound. Clarity over cleverness. Results over hype.
The Problem with AI Hype
Most AI discussions focus on the flashy stuff—ChatGPT conversations, image generation, complex reasoning. But small businesses don't need artificial general intelligence. They need their phones answered, their follow-ups sent, their meetings scheduled.
What Actually Works
After building systems that serve 0.6 billion requests monthly, I've learned that reliability beats sophistication every time. Small businesses need:
- Automated booking systems that actually work
- Follow-up sequences that don't feel robotic
- Simple integrations with existing tools
The Modulir Approach
This is why we built Modulir. Fewer planning meetings, more execution. AI that handles the boring stuff so humans can focus on what matters—building relationships and growing the business.
The future isn't about replacing humans with AI. It's about giving small teams superpowers through practical automation.
