What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Autonomous AI "employees" for small business — chief-of-staff that never sleeps. Invoicing, email triage, lead follow-up, customer inquiries 24/7. Bedrock-powered.
Why it matters
SMB market is underserved by enterprise AI tooling. Huge volume opportunity for vendors; significant productivity opportunity for the SMBs themselves.
The hard parts
SMB customers can't afford failure. Reliability matters more than capability for this segment.
Playbook moves
(1) Constrain agent scope tightly. (2) Better to do less reliably than more unreliably. (3) Onboarding UX matters more than feature breadth — SMB owners don't have time to configure.
The surprise
SMB AI's killer feature is *consistency*, not capability. The chief-of-staff metaphor is apt: small businesses need someone who shows up every day, not someone who's brilliant occasionally. Vendors who optimise for showmanship lose to vendors who optimise for showing up.
