Inside the small business AI boom What's happening now and what's next + Interview with Kristina Karlsson

Welcome to Byte Size, the AI podcast for small business owners who want practical tech advice without the overwhelming jargon. Powered by HP and Intel.

What You'll Learn On This Episode

There's a massive gap between AI hype and what's actually happening in Australian small businesses. This episode cuts through the noise with real data from HP's latest research and a conversation with someone who's turned AI into her competitive advantage.

Matt and Lisa kick things off by unpacking HP's report "From Hype to Help: What SMBs Need to Thrive with AI." The findings might surprise you!

They'll also be joined by Kristina Karlsson, Founder of Dream Life and Founder and former CEO of kikki.K. Kristina went from running a large company with dozens of staff to operating with 15 specialised AI bots that handle everything from content creation to business strategy. She walks us through exactly which roles her AI bots have replaced, how much it costs compared to hiring staff, how she maintains her brand voice, and what mistakes she sees small businesses making when they first dive into AI.

About HP and the Windows 11 SMB Study

Everyone's talking about AI, but how are Australian small businesses really using it? HP and Microsoft found that 4 in 5 SMBs don't know what AI PCs are or what they do, and awareness drops even lower among smaller businesses. But here's the thing: AI isn't just hype. It's helping small businesses work smarter, not harder. The HP x Microsoft Windows 11 SMB Study reveals where the real opportunities are and what's holding SMBs back. Get the insights and learn how Aussie SMBs are turning AI into advantage. Download the Windows 11 SMB Study at hp.com.au/SMB.
