Automatisation IA : par où les petites entreprises devraient vraiment commencer

Every week, another founder tells us they bought a $300/month AI tool — and still spends five hours on invoicing.
That’s the real problem with AI in small business: not a lack of tools, but a lack of focus. The companies winning right now aren’t the ones with the most AI. They’re the ones that mapped their workflows first and automated the boring, repetitive parts.
Start with operations, not ChatGPT tabs
The highest ROI for most SMBs sits in four areas:
- Leads & client intake — capture, qualify, and route new inquiries automatically.
- Invoicing & bookkeeping — recurring templates, reminders, and reconciliation.
- Content & proposals — first drafts generated from a short brief, then human polish.
- Inventory & orders — stock alerts and order confirmations without manual entry.
None of these need a custom model. They need automations, clear ones.
The 90-day path
- Days 1–30: Inventory every repetitive task. Just list them. Don’t fix anything yet.
- Days 31–60: Pick the top three pains and build simple automations for each using tools like n8n and Airtable.
- Days 61–90: Connect your automations to your revenue, measure time saved, and scale what works.
One step deeper: the full system
Automating one task is easy.
