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: products and stock on the website in a form Google Shopping and AI search can read.
New stock: announced to the customer list the day it lands, with photos from the shop floor.
Special orders: tracked, and the customer told the moment it arrives.
Socials: product photos turned into posts and stories in the shop's voice.
Questions: "do you have it in a size 10" answered from live stock, day or night.
The numbers: sales by line and the stock that is not moving, straight from the point of sale, on a page only the owner sees.

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