For small and mid-sized businesses, the starting point with **AI** is usually a repetitive, well-defined process that doesn't require complex decisions — like ticket triage or record filling. In **Jestor**, that starting point runs on **AI Agents** configured over the **no-code** structure of the **management system for small and mid-sized businesses**.

## Why do SMBs hesitate to start using AI in their operations?

Many SMBs associate **AI** with an expensive, slow technical project. In practice, the most common entry point is much smaller: a specific process that's already well mapped and just needs more response capacity.

## What SMBs are trying to solve when starting with AI?

- No dedicated technical team for automation projects
- Fear of investing in a tool that's too complex for the company's size
- Processes still running on spreadsheets and messages
- Difficulty scaling support without hiring more people

## How an SMB takes its first step with AI?

The path usually starts with an already-mapped process, automated first, before expanding to other areas.

| Step                    | What to do                           | Expected result                 |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
| 1\. Choose the process  | Pick a repetitive, well-defined task | Clear scope for the first agent |
| 2\. Configure the agent | Define instructions with no code     | First automation up and running |
| 3\. Expand              | Replicate to other processes         | Gains scale with no new hires   |
