Small Business B(AI)sics
You built your business from the ground up. Now AI can help you take it further. Small Business B(AI)sics gives you the skills to apply AI in a way that helps you grow, stay competitive, and contribute to stronger local economies.
Small Business B(AI)sics is a national initiative from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with support from Google, delivered right in your community through your local chamber of commerce.Â
We don't just talk about what AI can do. We show you how to use it. These free in-person training sessions are built around the real challenges small business owners face every day—no tech background needed, just practical tools you can start using immediately. Â
What You'll Walk Away WithÂ
AI skills that work for your business:Â
-Sharpen your marketing to attract new customers and strengthen relationships with the people who keep coming back.Â
-Get more time back in your day by automating the tasks that slow you down so you can focus on what you do best.Â
-Make smarter decisions by discovering what's working and what's not, and finding new opportunities for your business.Â
Small Business B(AI)sics equips small businesses with practical, foundational AI skills to help them grow, stay competitive, and contribute to stronger local economies.
