Small businesses run on limited time and limited budgets. You don't have a team of developers to build custom automations, and you can't afford enterprise software.

But you can afford an AI agent that costs less than a coffee per day.

Why Small Businesses Need AI Agents

As a small business owner, you're probably wearing multiple hats:

  • Sales — Following up with leads, updating your CRM
  • Marketing — Writing social posts, sending newsletters
  • Support — Answering customer questions, handling complaints
  • Operations — Invoicing, scheduling, reporting
  • Admin — Email, calendar management, document creation

Each of these can be partially or fully automated with AI agents.

Real Cost Savings

Let's do the math:

TaskManual Time/WeekWith AI Agent
Email management5 hours30 minutes
Social media posts3 hours20 minutes
Customer follow-ups4 hours15 minutes
Report generation2 hours5 minutes
Total14 hours~1 hour

At 50/hour, that's 700/week saved — or $36,000/year.

How to Get Started (5 Minutes)

Step 1: Sign Up

Create your account at assista.dev. You get 100 free energy — enough for a full week of testing.

Step 2: Connect Your Apps

Connect the tools you already use:

  • Gmail for email automation
  • Google Calendar for scheduling
  • Google Sheets for data and reporting
  • Slack for team communication
  • Your CRM (HubSpot, Close, etc.) for sales

Step 3: Start Delegating

Talk to your AI agents like you would a new employee:

  • "Send a follow-up email to everyone who signed up this week"
  • "Create a weekly report of our sales numbers from Google Sheets"
  • "Schedule a meeting with John next Tuesday at 2pm"
