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: services and prices written so Google and AI search show the business for the right questions.
Enquiries: a reply drafted within minutes, day or night, from facts the owner wrote once.
Bookings and reminders: they run on their own, with the owner told only when something needs a decision.
Content: one useful post or page a fortnight, drafted from the owner's own work.
Getting paid: invoices chased at 7, 14 and 21 days, without the owner having to remember.
The numbers: a private dashboard, fed by the tools the business already uses, so the week's figures are there without opening a spreadsheet.

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