Learning About AI

West Central SBDC AI Resource Lab

Resource available on Minnesota West Central SBDC website.

Explore how AI can simplify, support, and strengthen your business—no tech background required. Start with our 3-part video bootcamp (just 30 minutes) to learn what AI is, how generative tools work, and how to begin using them right away.

Then, dive into our curated AI tools built to help with real business tasks like planning, marketing, HR, customer feedback, and operations. Each one is ready to explore—click in, ask what it can do, and experiment with your own business context. The more you give, the better they respond.

Finally, grab our Downloadable AI Toolkit for Business—a growing set of checklists, templates, and guides to help you take action with confidence.

We're here to support your journey, so feel free to reach out with questions, feedback, or ideas for new tools.

Small businesses can use AI tools and applications to find solutions for all kinds of issues. 

Learn about it from the Small Business Administration.
