Why you don’t need perfect systems to start using AI

Most small business owners delay using AI because their systems are messy. But AI is made for mess. In this episode, Tony explains why you don’t need to organise everything first, and how to get value straight away.

• What AI tools actually need to work
• Real-life case studies from Tony’s clients
• How to get powerful results from chaos
• Tony’s personal 3-step “messy start” method

• ChatGPT (Free Version)
• Bardeen.ai
• SaneBox for Email

Choose one messy file (notes, spreadsheet, email thread)

→ Drop it into ChatGPT
