A small-business operator says Claude and ChatGPT subscriptions have cut their backend workload by roughly 30–40% over the last six months.
They use AI for accounting-adjacent work, ordering, and sales flyers, alongside other automation such as POS-based ordering, automatic register coupons, and QR codes that may eventually replace barcodes with manufacturing and expiration info built in. The main takeaway is that AI is already shrinking routine computer work, even if it still requires oversight.
