Most AI news is about giant companies. Hawaiʻi runs on small ones. 99.3% of the businesses in this state are small businesses, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Those businesses are who we work for. AI Works Hawaiʻi is a small local team on Oʻahu. We work with businesses across the islands.

Who we are

We are operators. We have spent our careers working with Hawaiʻi businesses. We know what a short staffed Saturday feels like, and what it costs when the phone rings and nobody can get to it.

We started AI Works Hawaiʻi because the tools got good. They can answer calls, text people back, send reminders, and ask for reviews. Most small businesses here do not have the time to set them up. That is the job we took on.

What we set up

  • AI receptionist for your phone

  • Missed call text back

  • Appointment reminders

  • Review requests and replies

  • A chatbot for your website

  • A Back Office Bot that answers staff questions from your own documents

  • AI workshops for your team

How we work

  • You choose how much AI. You can keep a real person on every reply. Texts go out in your own words.

  • Keep what you already use. We work with your phone number, your calendar, and your tools. If you want us to bring everything, we can do that too.

  • One flat monthly fee. From $750 to set up. From $400 a month after that, month to month.

  • We keep it running. Setup takes about a week. Then we check it every month and fix anything that is off.

Why a blog

Most writing about AI is long, vague, and written for big companies. We write short posts with local numbers and real examples. Every post ends with one small thing you can try this week, with or without us.

Giving back

We give part of what we earn to a Hawaiʻi nonprofit. Our giving back page has the details.

ONE THING TO TRY THIS WEEK

Write down the one task that eats the most of your day. That is where we would start.
