Between future vision and everyday life
Just a few years ago, artificial intelligence was just a buzzword for many SMEs. People talked about it, imagined futuristic scenarios - but the concrete benefits in everyday working life remained unclear. Today, that has changed: AI has long since arrived in everyday work. Nevertheless, SMEs remain cautious. The technology is still considered a "vision" by many, although solutions that create real added value in practice have long been available.
The hurdles for SMEs
Why is the step from idea to implementation so difficult? It is often due to a lack of resources, scepticism among the workforce or simply a lack of time to get to grips with new tools. Added to this is the concern that AI projects are expensive, complex and difficult to scale. As a result, many companies remain on the sidelines while competitors are already realising initial benefits.
Small steps with a big impact
However, getting started in practice does not require investments worth billions. Even small steps can make a big difference. One example is the Onboarding new employees: instead of weeks of training, which ties up valuable resources, an AI buddy can provide the relevant information immediately. The same applies to the Holiday replacementWhere handovers used to be tedious or information was simply missing, an intelligent solution now ensures that substitutes can step in without any problems.
The topic hybrid teams is a good example: While working hours and time zones diverge, AI buddies ensure that information remains available.
Breaking down silos, making knowledge usable
Another problem faced by many SMEs is knowledge silos. Departments work side by side without benefiting from each other. AI can break down these barriers by automatically sharing information and providing it in context. This creates a living, company-wide memory from isolated islands of knowledge.
Amaiko as a door opener
This is exactly where Amaiko on. The solution integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Teams - the platform that employees already use. Instead of having to introduce another tool, Amaiko acts as a personal buddy that adapts to individual working methods. It asks questions when information is missing, it learns from patterns and it exchanges information with the buddies of other colleagues. This is how a vision becomes concrete everyday practice.
Conclusion: The future begins today
AI in SMEs is no longer a distant idea. The difference lies in whether companies wait and see - or whether they start using the technology for very practical problems. With solutions like Amaiko, the transition from vision to daily practice is effortless. For SMEs, this means fewer abstract future scenarios and more tangible relief in everyday working life.
