Commentary: AI is no longer a bonus, it is becoming mandatory for the self-employed

Many small entrepreneurs are hesitant to adopt Artificial Intelligence, despite its widespread use in everyday life. While individuals frequently use ChatGPT or Gemini, business processes often remain manual. By leveraging AI, solo entrepreneurs can gain digital employees that can be hired and fired as needed, freeing up time and increasing productivity.

For example, a self-employed physiotherapist can have AI manage appointments from various sources, while a craftsman can have AI create offers and track payments. This allows business owners to focus on core tasks, such as customer consultation.
