@JoinUsForTEA For owners getting enquiries but not enough sales: look at your last 10 enquiries. Who got a quote, who got a follow-up, and where did things stop? A simple list can help you see whether you need more leads or a better way to turn interest into paid work.
Using AI more doesn’t mean it’s creating value. SMEs, measure AI against four things: - Revenue created - Time saved - Errors/losses prevented - Employee impact If it isn’t moving one of those, I’d question why it’s taking up time and budget.
We’re deliberately making our AI do less. Pulse Check starts in shadow mode: observe, reason, recommend, log. No autonomous action. We learn where it works, where it hesitates, and where a human should stay in control. What would you trust AI to recommend, but not decide?
Most South African SMEs don’t need more AI. They need fewer leads slipping through the cracks. We’re exploring AI that can qualify enquiries, draft replies, update CRM and trigger follow-ups, with humans approving key actions. What happens when your leads arrive after hours?

Every SMB that successfully adopts AI does 3 things: - Find a champion inside the business - Start with one boring workflow - Measure time saved, not coolness The gap isn't access. It's structure. Source: wsj.com/cio-journal/th… #AISouthAfrica #SMB #AI

US Gov: "Fable 5 is too dangerous! The jailbreak risk is too high! We are issuing an emergency export ban!" Also US Gov: "But only for foreigners. Americans can keep using the jailbroken cyberweapon, as a treat."
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of
@AlexFinn US Gov: "Fable 5 is too dangerous! The jailbreak risk is too high! We are issuing an emergency export ban!" Also US Gov: "But only for foreigners. Americans can keep using the jailbroken cyberweapon, as a treat."
@AnthropicAI The US government just banned Anthropic's Fable 5 for foreign users because a jailbreak allegedly turned it into a "cyberweapon." Translation: a jailbroken AI is a catastrophic national security threat... unless you have a US passport, in which case, hack away. 🇺🇸👨💻
