The influx of generative artificial intelligence software is transforming small businesses, with company owners using AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, and others to check grammar in emails, punch up marketing copy, and research business plans. Now, bigger companies are developing tools specifically to help small businesses integrate AI into their operations in more advanced ways. Microsoft’s Copilot lets users ask software to perform tasks like summarize an email or a Teams meeting, come up with key themes in a document, or draft emails in a conversational tone in Outlook. Meanwhile, MasterCard is piloting a product called MasterCard Small Business AI, aimed at helping small business owners analyze data and offer other resources to help grow their business. Mastercard plans to pilot the tool in the U.S. later this year, with international markets to follow.
