    I run a 3-person business. Everyone says ‘use AI’ but the enterprise stuff is way out of budget. What are realistic, low-cost ways a tiny team can benefit?

    Start with the free/cheap chat tools for the boring stuff: emails, proposals, social captions, summarizing docs, first-draft SOPs. That alone gives a small team hours back every week. You don’t need enterprise anything to get 80% of the value.

    Add one automation (Zapier/Make free tier) for a repetitive workflow — like auto-drafting a reply when a lead comes in. Small, specific, high-ROI. Stack from there.
