It is the difference between AI that advises and AI that acts.Which workflows should a small business automate first?Start with highest frequency: what does your team do every day that is pure execution? Then move to highest time cost: what takes the most hours per week even if it's not daily? Common targets include weekly reporting, new client intake, Google review monitoring, and vendor research.Do I need a developer to set up AI computer use?No. Tools like OpenAI's Operator are available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers and work from plain English instructions.
