Are you using ChatGPT or Claude in your business but feel like you’re only scratching the surface?

Maybe you’re using AI for content, emails or brainstorming, but you’re still drowning in admin, juggling endless to-do lists or spending hours on repetitive tasks.

✨You know AI could be helping you with so much more.

But when you’re already busy running a business, finding the time to figure it all out feels like another job on your list!

👉That’s where I can help.

I’m looking to work with 3 small business owners or small teams who want to get more from AI and make their working lives easier.

Together, we’ll look at how you’re currently working, identify what’s eating up your time and find practical ways AI could take some of that pressure off.

Whether that’s getting your inbox under control, simplifying everyday tasks or creating better systems, we’ll focus on what will make the biggest difference to your business.

Here’s how we can work together:

* 1:1 AI training: Get more confident using ChatGPT or Claude for your business.
* AI audits and consultancy: Discover where AI could save you time and improve the way you work.
* Team training: Help your team use AI confidently, effectively and responsibly.

I’ve trained over 1,000 people this year, including delivering training for the Federation of Small Businesses and Enterprise Nation.

👉I have availability for 3 new clients over the next few months.

If you’re ready to move beyond the basics and start making AI genuinely useful in your business, send me a message with the word AI.

We can have a chat about what’s taking up your time and where I might be able to help.

And if you know someone who could benefit, I’d really appreciate you sharing this post.

✨Claude has two new tools.✨

Anthropic, the company behind Claude, launched two new features this week. Both are in beta, which means they're still being tested and could change.

🧡Claude Dashboards

* Ask a question about your business numbers in plain English.
* Claude builds a live dashboard that keeps itself up to date.
* Available on paid plans.

Worth knowing: it works by plugging into bigger business systems like Salesforce. If your numbers live in a spreadsheet, this one isn't for you yet.

🧡Claude Motion
* Turns your text and charts into a short animated video you can download.
* It isn't AI generated video. It animates your own words and numbers, and you can change any of it afterwards.

* Team and Enterprise plans only for now, so not on Pro.

👉The part that matters most for small businesses
Claude Docs, Slides and Design are now out of testing and available on every plan, including the free one. You can create documents, slide decks and designs inside Claude without paying a penny.

My take
Don't upgrade your plan for Dashboards or Motion. Have a play with Docs, Slides and Design first. That's where most small business owners will save real time this week.

✨Why I’m so passionate about ethical, responsible use of AI…✨

A few years ago, Amazon had a problem many growing businesses would recognise.

They were receiving huge numbers of CVs for technical roles. Reviewing them took time, so they turned to AI to help identify the strongest candidates.

👉On paper, it made perfect sense.

The AI looked at Amazon’s previous hiring data and learned what a “successful” candidate looked like.

👉But there was a problem.

Historically, most of the people applying for these technical roles had been men.

So the AI began learning that being male was associated with being a stronger candidate. It started penalising CVs that included terms associated with women, including references to “women’s” organisations.

The technology was doing exactly what AI does: finding patterns in the information it had been given.

The problem was the pattern itself.

Amazon eventually abandoned the recruitment tool after discovering the bias.

👉And this is why responsible AI matters.

AI can help us make decisions faster, but it can also reproduce the biases hidden inside our data and processes.

So when we introduce AI into a business, we still need human judgement.

We need to ask: What information is this AI learning from? Who could be disadvantaged by it? And should a human make the final decision?

Because using AI responsibly starts with the decisions we make about how we use it.

Sometimes AI will give confident answers that are incorrect or made up, especially when the question is vague or missing context.
Claude/ChatGPT is a powerful partner, but human
judgment remains essential.

✨This week I’ve had several conversations with people saying the same thing.✨

They’re tired. They haven’t been sleeping well. Emotions have felt heightened. Everything has just felt a little more intense.

And we’re around the Full Moon. 🌝

For centuries, Full Moons have been associated with heightened emotions and behaviour. The scientific evidence for many of those claims is mixed, but I still like the idea of using the Full Moon as a natural point to pause and reflect.

And that includes your business.

What have you been avoiding?

Which leads or conversations need following up?

What’s starting to work that you haven’t stopped to acknowledge?

What needs finishing?

And what are you ready to let go of because it’s making your business harder than it needs to be?

You don’t need to overhaul everything.

Pick one thing that feels important right now and do something about it.

I know what mine is.

👉What’s yours?

Do you have a challenge or question you’d love some help or advice with?

Do you have tips, experience, or knowledge you could share with a group of wonderful women in business?

Are you looking to grow your local connections in and around Trowbridge?

If so,I would love to see you at the September Trowbridge Meet-Up tomorrow
(Friday 25th September),
⏰10am-12pm,
📍at The Farmhouse Inn, Southwick, Trowbridge.


Meet Ups are a great way to catch up with everyone, hear what each other is working on, what’s going well in business, and what support you might need right now.

One of the things I love most about BWi is the variety of women who attend. Women from such a wide range of businesses all coming together to share ideas, encouragement, expertise, support, and inspiration.

The conversations are always thoughtful, welcoming, and full of those little nuggets of advice you find yourself thinking about long afterwards.

Sometimes it’s also just really nice to get out of the house or office for a few hours and spend time with people who genuinely understand the reality of running a business.

In BWi, we connect, encourage, and collaborate. Whether you’re an experienced business owner or completely new to business, if you’d like to:
✔ grow your network
✔ gain new clients
✔ make new friendships
✔ feel more supported in business
✔ and connect with like-minded women
…then our meet-ups are definitely for you.

Whether you run a business, have a side hustle, work freelance, are employed but have ideas you’d love to explore, or simply want to meet more like-minded women locally.
