Most AI advice is written by people who’ve never run a business with the phone ringing, a quote due, and BAS half-done in a tab. This isn’t that. Ten prompts you can paste into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini right now and get a usable first draft — no subscription needed to try them.
How to use them: copy a prompt, swap the [square brackets] for your details, paste it in, and read what comes back before you send it anywhere. They aim to save you time on first drafts, nothing more; results vary with your business and your inputs.

The system behind them, with the setup, reference files and weekly routine for customer comms, ops, marketing and analytics, is AI for Small Business →
This page has 10 prompts. The free AI Starter Pack has 40: all ten above, twenty more for customer comms, ops, marketing and analytics, and ten for real estate agents. It is an interactive workbook that remembers your ticks in your own browser. No charge.
These are starting points, not finished work. Always read what the AI gives you before it goes out, and never paste sensitive customer or financial details into a tool you haven’t checked. AI gets things wrong confidently — your judgement is still the boss.
A prompt pack is the tool; the system behind it is what turns a good draft into a weekly routine. Results vary. AI for Small Business opens on a printable one-page Australian AI Use Policy you fill in and sign, then the four Machines that run on it. There is a Real Estate AI Workspace for agents, and an agents course whose workflows are draft-only by design. One-time AUD prices, no subscription.
