Free automation blueprints for SMBs

We show you exactly how real businesses automate, the workflow, the tools, the numbers. The AI industry would rather you
found this complicated. We don't.


Or take our free 10-minute AI diagnostic to see
what’s automatable in your own business.

How it's actually done.

Most automation coverage is theory, or hype with a price tag on the end. We write about real workflows in real businesses: what broke, how it was redesigned, what it cost, what it returned. Precise enough that you, your team, or your agency could build from it.

The Blueprint is free

Every workflow we cover comes with the design behind it, given away. We don't build it for you. We show you exactly how it's done and let you take it from there. The thinking is the point.

A growing back catalogue

Worked blueprints and interviews showing how SMBs automate, across industries. Real mechanics, real numbers. Read them all free. Your industry is likely already in there.

What AdAI Covers

The workflows where automation changes the most for an SMB. Your bottleneck is probably one of these, and probably already in the catalogue.

  • Lead generation - How enquiries get captured fast, qualified against an ICP, and surfaced before they go cold.

  • Intake and triage - How first contact gets handled and routed to the right next step.

  • Data bridges - How information moves between systems that don't talk to each other.

  • Document chasing - How missing items get tracked, chased, and flagged before they stall.

  • Scheduling and dispatch - How jobs get booked, confirmed, and allocated without the back-and-forth.

  • Invoice and collections - How invoices get sent, chased, reconciled, and at-risk accounts flagged early.

  • Reporting and updates - How raw data becomes a client report the team drafts in minutes, not days.

  • Knowledge management - How answers get found in documents without anyone remembering where they are.

Not an exhaustive list. We cover bottlenecks that fit no category at all. If your problem is specific to your business and nobody seems to write about it, that's exactly the kind we want to hear about. Tell us, and it could become the next interview.

The Field Was Mandatory. The Answer Was a Guess.

Given a mandatory field and six options, a reasonable person selects the most defensible one. Every number built on top of it inherits the guess.

Assigned to Everyone. Owned by No One.

Work handed to three people with real intentions and no deadline does not get done late. It gets done whenever somebody feels awkward enough to chase it.

Nobody Checks the Money Coming In

You have a process for checking every invoice you pay. You have no process at all for checking every payment you receive.

The Commission Nobody Checked

Eleven carriers. Eleven formats. She checks the four biggest and spot-checks the rest, because checking all 2,840 lines would take three weeks she doesn't have.
