Who we are
At The Business Team AI, our mission is to empower and optimize 100,000 small and local businesses by 2028. Through the practical integration of artificial intelligence, we believe that AI isn’t just for tech giants — it’s a transformative tool that every neighborhood shop, professional service, restaurant, and community enterprise can harness to work smarter, grow faster, and compete stronger. We deliver this transformation through tailored AI consulting, automation, and digital infrastructure — from intelligent websites and custom AI agents to data-driven marketing and localized SEO strategies. Our focus is on real-world adoption: making AI approachable, affordable, and impactful for business owners who want to save time, cut costs, and unlock new opportunities.
We envision a future where small and local businesses lead the AI-powered economy — not trail behind it. Our work is driven by the belief that AI is the next great equalizer: a tool that levels the playing field, fuels entrepreneurship, and drives inclusive economic growth. By building technology that’s human-centered and business-focused, we enable entrepreneurs to do more with less–from automating workflows and enhancing customer experiences to uncovering insights that guide smarter decisions. Through widespread AI adoption, we’re creating a future where small businesses don’t just survive the digital revolution — they define it.
