Practical AI for Business
Guides on starting and growing a business with AI. No code required, no hype tolerated. Written by the same team that reviews every Alicia Lyttle program on this site.
What this blog covers
Most of this site answers questions about one event. The blog handles the wider question underneath it: how a person with no technical background actually builds something useful with AI, and what to do first when every tool promises to change your life.
We write for owners, freelancers, coaches and people starting from zero. That shapes what goes in and what stays out. Guides here give you a step you can take today or a prompt you can paste. Model comparisons and funding-round news belong somewhere else.
The same editorial team writes the blog and the reviews. We register for the events, walk the checkout pages, and check claims against outside sources before publishing, and the about page sets out that process in full. Nobody pays us to recommend a tool.
A guide only ships here when it passes three tests. It has to be something a reader can act on the same day. Every number in it has to trace back to a source we can name. And it has to survive the question we ask of every draft: would this still be useful if the tool it mentions disappeared next month? Guides that only work with one specific app get rewritten around the method instead.
Posts get revisited rather than abandoned. AI tooling changes faster than the advice built on top of it, so each guide carries the month we last checked it, and we update prices, screenshots and tool names when they drift.

If you landed on the blog while researching the summit itself, these three pages answer the questions people ask most, in the order they usually ask them.
What the event is
Our AI Business Summit 2026 guide has the dates, the full three-day agenda, the six confirmed speakers and how registration works.
Whether it is worth your time
The full review scores the event across five dimensions, states what is genuinely free, breaks down the VIP upsell and names who should skip it.
Something to use today
Copy. Paste. Launch. is our free five-prompt starter kit: an offer, a content plan, a video script, a one-page website draft and a seven-day launch checklist.
What's coming next
The queue follows the questions readers send us. Next up are a walkthrough of building a working AI assistant for a one-person business, a plain guide to pricing AI services when you have no track record, and a breakdown of which free AI tools are worth the setup time against their paid versions. After that, a first-90-days plan for someone who finishes a free summit and wants to keep the momentum.
Have a question we have not covered? Email hello@aibusinesssummitlive.com. Reader questions decide what gets written, and they tend to be sharper than anything a keyword tool suggests.
The free 3-day summit covers these systems live, with replays.
