WaiAi - How to get back 10 hours a week

Brought to you by HeyAutomate — in partnership with Business Wairarapa WaiAi Series

"Your business doesn't have an AI problem. It has a time problem."

Missed calls, chased enquiries, manual bookings, forgotten follow-ups — these aren't just frustrating. They're quietly eating hours every week that you'll never get back.

In this 90-minute session, HeyAutomate cuts through the hype and shows you exactly where those hours are hiding — and how real businesses are getting them back without overhauling their systems or replacing their team.

No tech jargon. No theory. No setup required on the day. Just a straight-talking look at what good automation actually does, what it costs, and whether it makes sense for a business like yours.

You'll walk away with:

→ A clear picture of which tasks in your business are prime candidates for automation → A practical understanding of how inbound and outbound AI calling works in a real service business → Simple ROI thinking tailored to small business owners → The confidence to take a first step — whether that's booking an audit or simply knowing what questions to ask

This session is built for business owners who are busy, a little sceptical, and just want straight answers. No technical background required. No setup needed on the day.

Want to go further? The WaiAI - AI for a day/ From Curious to capable (30 April, Copthorne Masterton) is the natural companion to this session — a full day of hands-on AI skills using free tools, where you leave with a prompt library, an AI governance policy, a finished action plan for your business, and pain points within your business addressed with Ai. Attend one or attend both — either way, you'll leave with more than you came with.
