Making your business AI-ready isn't about replacing human interactionβ€”it's about being discoverable when customers use AI assistants to find services. This comprehensive guide walks you through everything you need to know to prepare your business for the AI-driven economy.

Understanding AI Readiness

AI readiness means your business can be found, understood, and interacted with through AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. When someone asks an AI assistant to find or book your type of service, your business appears in the results and can handle the interaction.

The Four Pillars of AI Readiness

1. Discoverability

Your business information must be structured so AI assistants can find and understand your services, location, hours, and specialties.

2. Bookability

Customers should be able to make appointments or reservations through AI assistants, with confirmations sent automatically.

3. Reliability

Your systems must handle AI-generated bookings accurately and integrate with your existing workflow.

4. Optimization

Continuous improvement based on AI interaction data and customer feedback.
