AI by industry

AI for your line of work

The useful jobs for AI look different in a salon, a solicitor's office and a building firm, and so do the rules. These pages go through the everyday tasks AI can help with in each kind of business, the risks to watch, and what a half-day AI Kick-Start would look at.

Don't see your business here?

Most of what AI does well is common to every office: replying to emails, drafting documents, summarising meetings, writing for your website and social media, and finding answers in your own paperwork. The AI audit and readiness review explains how we work out which of those jobs suit your business, and the AI for your business page sets out the three ways to work together.
