The big idea
Local restaurants, salons, lawn services — most owners do not have time to learn AI. As a teen who knows AI well, you can help them set up basic tools and get paid for it.
Some examples
- Help a small restaurant draft social media posts with AI.
- Help a hair salon set up an AI chatbot for booking questions.
- Help a lawn service create AI-generated quotes for new customers.
- Help a tutor or coach use AI to draft personalized parent updates.
Try it!
Pick one local business you go to. Notice one task they could automate with AI. Offer to help (with a parent's involvement).
