AI that works for small business

Running a small business means wearing every hat — sales, admin, scheduling, compliance, customer service. AI won't fix everything, but applied in the right places it can genuinely claw back hours every week. The problem is most tools are built for big companies with IT departments. We focus on the other end: small businesses across Canberra and the NSW South Coast who need solutions that work on a phone, don't require training, and actually show up on the bottom line.

We start every engagement with an AI Suitability Assessment — a straight conversation about your current operations, where the friction is, and which opportunities are realistic versus hype. You walk away with a clear, prioritised roadmap rather than a vague sense that you "should be doing something with AI". For businesses ready to act, we deliver purpose-built Telegram apps, automated workflows, and fully configured AI workstations — set up, tested, and handed over ready to use. This is a local, hands-on service. We're close enough to meet in person, small enough to actually care about your results, and technical enough to build things that work.

What We Build

Practical AI solutions for small businesses. Each project starts with a discovery call to confirm we're the right fit.

AI Readiness Assessment

A structured evaluation of your business to identify where AI can actually help. Get a prioritized roadmap with realistic ROI estimates.

Custom Telegram Bots

Field data collection, inventory alerts, approval workflows—all in an app your team already uses. Works offline, syncs when connected.

AI Assistant

A fully configured mini PC with an AI assistant already setup and ready to work — handling follow-ups, automating admin, and running 24/7.

AI Training & Consulting

Learn to use AI tools effectively. Custom training for your team on prompting, workflow design, and tool selection.

Documentation & Templates

AI-ready templates for proposals, reports, and client communications. Save hours on repetitive writing tasks.

Built for Small Business

Most AI consultants want to sell you enterprise platforms that take months to implement and require dedicated IT staff. That's not what small businesses need.

I built Obedient Automation for businesses like yours—time-poor, and skeptical of tech that overpromises. My approach is simple: identify one high-impact problem, solve it quickly, and move to the next.

Every engagement starts with a 30-minute discovery call. If I can't see a clear path to ROI, I'll tell you straight. No sales pitch, no long proposals—just practical advice.
