AI Adoption, Automation & Coaching Help for Business Owners
Curious about AI but not sure where to begin? At 500 Sixth, we offer simple, low-risk services designed to help you test drive AI without disrupting your business.
We work with small and mid-sized organizations to identify quick wins — easy-to-implement tools that deliver real value in weeks, not months. If it works and you're happy, we can scale it into something more powerful.
Let’s start with something small that makes a big difference.

What We Can Help With
✓ Spot Opportunities in Your Daily Workflow
We’ll talk through how you currently work, document your key workflows, and use a simple scoring system to identify quick wins, especially tasks that are repetitive, time-consuming, and low security risk. From there, we’ll help you shape a focused AI strategy that starts small but builds real impact.
Example: One solopreneur was spending too much time scheduling meetings by email. We explored AI assistant options but recommended a simpler fix: adding a booking link to their email signature using Microsoft Bookings. Problem solved, no custom build required.
✓ Use the AI Tools You Already Have
Many business apps now include AI features, but most people don’t know how to use them effectively. We’ll help you unlock the value in tools you’re already paying for and show you what’s worth using without adding complexity.
Example: One business owner was copying email threads into ChatGPT to draft replies. We showed them how to use Outlook Copilot to summarize conversations, suggest responses, and polish drafts directly inside their inbox. It eliminated the need to copy and paste into another tool, kept everything securely in Outlook, and made it easy to respond faster with the right tone and style.
✓ Build a Lightweight AI Assistant
You don’t need a full-blown app to start getting value from AI. We can set up a simple assistant that lets you upload an Excel file, such as a spreadsheet of sales, deposits, or client activity, and ask questions in plain language. It works like a private chatbot trained on your data.
Example: One business owner uploaded their deposit records and now uses an AI assistant to explore revenue trends, list tenants by month, and track performance over time. They can ask questions like “What was my rent total last June?” or “Who were my top tenants in 2023?” and get instant answers without touching a formula. It’s like giving your spreadsheet a brain.
✓ Fix That One Thing That’s Slowing You Down
We can automate small but time-consuming tasks, like monitoring KPI data, by deploying a simple AI agent that runs on a weekly schedule using Google Scheduler.
Example: A marketing consultant needed to track and analyze metrics from multiple websites and distribute the information. We built a lightweight agent that pulls the data every Friday using APIs and Google Sheets, summarizes it, and sends a report by email. The email includes not just the numbers, but also AI-generated insights to help spot trends, compare performance, and flag anything unusual. No more manual tracking or forgotten metrics.
✓ Team Workshops and One-on-One Coaching Sessions
Whether it’s just you or your entire team, we offer private, practical training sessions to help you get started with AI. These are hands-on and jargon-free, focused on tools like ChatGPT and how they can save time in real business tasks. You’ll leave with real examples you can use right away, and no technical background is required.
Example: A small law firm can schedule a one-hour workshop to explore how AI might assist with legal writing and client communication. The session can focus on drafting client memos, improving clarity, and using ChatGPT to summarize case law. After the workshop, they can schedule follow-up coaching sessions to explore automation ideas tailored to their specific practice needs.

Let’s start with a short video call. No pressure, no jargon, just a chance to explore what’s possible. If we find something useful, we’ll build it. If not, no problem. You’ll still leave with a better understanding of what AI can and can’t do for your business.
