GenAI Adoption That Worked

The Business Case

A non-tech SME wanted to:

• Do more with the same team in less time

• Cut dependency on costly external services

• Make the AI hype actually useful

Instead of experimenting endlessly, they focused AI adoption on non-core, time-draining tasks like:

• Content creation

• Visual design

• Meeting documentation and follow-up
  

❌ What They Skipped

Not every AI tool makes sense for SMEs. Here’s what they dropped early:

• Complex dashboards with steep learning curves

• AI art tools with no real business value

• Platforms promising “full automation” that delivered confusion

• Over-customized chatbots that took too long to set up
  

✅ What Actually Helped

These tools brought fast results without tech support:

• ChatGPT & Gemini: Rapid content for emails, decks, campaigns, internal docs

• Canva AI: Non-designers created branded visuals in minutes

• Jasper: Cut marketing content production time in half

• Sembly / Fireflies.ai: Captured and summarized meetings, saving hours

• Notion AI / MS Copilot: Helped with summaries, reports, and planning

Bonus: Tidio (chatbot) was liked by colleagues, but not critical for B2B use.
