1 in 10 Australian small businesses have started with AI. The other 9 are your competition.

What a business like this can have running on its own

Six jobs the owner usually does by hand, and what a system built for that business does instead.

Being found: treatments and prices on the website in a form Google and AI search can read and quote.
Rebooking: a reminder timed to each client's treatment cycle.
Deposits: requested up front, with cancellation follow-ups that need no phone call.
Socials: before-and-after photos turned into posts, with captions in the salon's voice.
Reviews: a review request the evening after each appointment.
The numbers: chair time, rebookings and product sales on a private dashboard that bookings and sales keep current.

Each one is a working system, built for that business and owned outright by it. How Coastworks AI builds AI automations for small businesses.
