You’ve heard the hype, AI is changing the game. But what if you’re not sitting behind a desk? What if your “office” is a job site, a garage, or the back of a work van? In this episode of The AI Powered Entrepreneur, we’re kicking off our brand-new series: “What AI Can Do for Businesses Who Think They Can’t Use AI.” First up? The skilled trades.
