AI is everywhere—and for small business owners, it can feel overwhelming fast.

AI is everywhere—and for small business owners, it can feel overwhelming fast. Everyone is talking about tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity. But which one actually makes sense for your business?

This workshop cuts through the AI hype with a practical, side‑by‑side comparison of the five most talked‑about AI tools—so you can make smart, confident decisions without wasting time or money.

Led by Sara Norton of Reply All, this session is designed specifically for small business owners who want clarity, not complexity.

In this session, you’ll get a clear, plain‑language comparison of:

  • ChatGPT
  • Claude
  • Gemini
  • Copilot
  • Perplexity

You’ll learn:

  • What each tool is actually good at
  • Where each tool falls short
  • Which tools are best for marketing, content, research, admin, and planning
  • Key differences around accuracy, privacy, ease of use, and cost
  • Common mistakes small business owners make when choosing AI tools
  • How to match the right AI tool to your business needs, comfort level, and concerns

No tech background required.This workshop is ideal for:

  • Small business owners curious about AI but unsure where to start
  • Entrepreneurs already using AI who want to make better tool choices
  • Business owners who don’t want to learn five tools—just the right one
  • Anyone tired of conflicting advice and AI hype

About the Speaker: Sara Norton is the founder of Reply All, helping business owners use technology and AI in practical, realistic ways that save time and support growth. Sara focuses on real‑world application—not trends—so entrepreneurs can confidently use tools that actually work for them.
