Your team is already using AI. The real question is whether anyone has written down the rules.

Three jobs, done for you.

Most AI risk in a small business isn't exotic. It's a free account, a pasted spreadsheet, and nobody sure what's allowed.

Rules people actually follow.

A policy only works if your team understands it. We train everyone in plain English, answer their questions, and keep a simple record that everyone's on board.

Your first year with us.

One fixed price covers the setup, and an optional quarterly plan keeps it current.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Find out what's in use

    A short survey and a few conversations show which AI tools your team already uses, including personal accounts, and what information goes into them.

  2. Week 3

    Pick and set up the tools

    An approved tool list, business accounts in place of personal ones, and the privacy settings that keep your data from training someone else's AI.

  3. Week 4

    Write the policy

    Two to four plain-English pages your team will actually read. We draft it, you review it, and we adjust it until it fits.

  4. Month 2

    Train the team

    A live session for everyone, a short refresher for new hires, and a simple record of who has read and agreed.

  5. Every quarter

    Review and update (optional)

    We check new tools your team wants to use, update the policy, and confirm the settings are still right.

  6. Every year

    Refresh and report (optional)

    A refresher training and a one-page summary of your AI practices to share with clients or your insurer.

Straight answers.

Does my small business need an AI policy?

If anyone on your team uses ChatGPT, Copilot, or another AI tool for work, yes. A short policy covering approved tools, what stays out, and who to ask protects your clients and your business.

Can employees use ChatGPT with customer information?

Only in a tool and plan set up to protect it. Some free AI tools can use what you type to improve their models unless you change the settings. We help you choose business plans with the right protections.

Are you lawyers?

No. We help with the practical side: choosing tools, setting them up safely, writing the policy, and training your team. If your industry has specific legal requirements, we'll say so and work alongside your attorney.

How long does it take to get started?

About a month to an approved tool list and a written policy, with team training in the second month.
