What It Means for Your Business:

Google now leads in AI patents, especially in generative and agentic AI. This indicates a significant shift in AI development focus. For business owners, this means more advanced AI tools will soon be available, potentially transforming operations and customer interactions. Staying informed about these developments can help you leverage new technologies to improve efficiency and competitiveness.

⏱️ 5-Minute Fix:

Explore AI tools that can automate tasks in your business. For instance, consider using AI-driven customer service chatbots or data analysis tools to save time and resources. Start by identifying repetitive tasks in your operations and researching AI solutions that can handle them.

Open ChatGPT and ask: "What are the top generative AI tools for small business owners based on current trends and patents?"

Example:

Then, pick one area in your business that eats time:

• Customer support
• Scheduling
• Lead filtering
• Proposal writing
• Data reporting

Now try this next prompt:

"Act like a business automation advisor. I want to improve [insert task, e.g., customer support]. Based on the latest tech trends, give me a tool or setup I can try today that uses AI to do it better."

Prompt of the Day

Act as a senior AI consultant for my business. Use insights from recent AI patent trends (including generative AI and agentic systems) to:

1. Identify one emerging AI tool, platform, or application I should adopt immediately.
2. Explain how this tool will enhance either internal efficiency or external customer satisfaction.
3. Give a simple real-world example of how a small business like mine might use it.
4. Include any risks or downsides I should watch for.
5. End with one action I can take today to start testing this tool.

Assume I have no technical team but I’m willing to pay for the right tool. Be specific, practical, and current.

🚫 Common Misconception: Automation = Replacing People

A lot of business owners think automation means cutting jobs. It doesn’t. Good automation removes busywork. Not people.

It frees your team to do the work that matters: calls, deals, decisions, and service. The stuff only humans can do well.

If your team is buried in repetitive tasks, you’re not running lean — you’re running slow. Automate the grunt work so people can focus on growth.

Set these automations up today

1. Missed Call Text-Back
   Set up an auto-text that replies when you miss a call:
   "Sorry I missed you! How can I help?"
   You never lose leads again.

2. New Lead → Email Follow-Up
   Use a form or CRM trigger to send a fast, helpful email when someone signs up or reaches out.
   “Thanks for reaching out — here’s what happens next.”

3. Invoice Reminder Bot
   Use QuickBooks, Wave, or Stripe to auto-remind late payers.
   You don’t have to chase money. The bot does it.
