AI for Local Businesses: Inspired by Harvard Business Review & Supercharged by Persystent.ai

Hey there, local business heroes! Whether you’re a residential contractor or an insurance agent, you’ve likely heard about the buzz surrounding AI. You may be thinking, “Is this something my small business really needs?” Spoiler: Yes, and it’s easier than you think!
