Small business and AI: the gap to large companies is growing
In the EU, 55% of large companies use AI and 17% of small ones. Large companies scale AI agents twice as fast. What a company without an IT department can do not to fall behind.
Klarna replaced the work of 700 agents with a bot. A year later it brought people back
2.3 million conversations, 700 full-time jobs, 40 million dollars of profit. That was Klarna's announcement in 2024. In 2025 the CEO admitted quality had dropped. What this case teaches companies.

Factories start AI in the office, not on the floor
In manufacturing, AI is used most often for marketing and administration, not for processes on the floor. Six in ten predictive maintenance projects fail in the first year. Where to really start.
The EU AI Act and the Polish AI law: what every company needs
From 28 October 2026 the Polish AI authority can impose fines for AI Act violations. The AI literacy duty has applied since February 2025 and covers every company with ChatGPT at work. A to-do list.

A customer writes at 11:10 pm that they need to order in the morning. The bot replies with a sentence from the website and the conversation is "resolved". How an AI agent recognizes a buying signal and hands the conversation to a human.
How do you know AI is telling your customers the truth?
Most tools measure whether the bot replied, not whether it was right. How to test an AI agent's answers before launch and after every knowledge base change. Five questions for every vendor.
The most important value of a chatbot is not answering questions
