We Host the FrUn SMB AI Guide — Ten Experts on AI for Small Business

By Mitch Schwartz

At a glance

Ten fractional leaders wrote the same six-part playbook for SMB owners. We host the hub and Mitch's full Operations chapter; every contributor gets equal credit and a LinkedIn link.

Key points

  • Ten contributors, six sections each — mindset, tools, first 30 days, use case, guardrails, lessons
  • FrUn / Superhuman stays canonical; opsmachine.co links back prominently
  • Hub + full Operations chapter on-site; other functions link to canonical

Quick answers

Where is the canonical FrUn SMB AI Guide?
At frun.pro/smbaiguide, hosted on Superhuman Docs by Fractionals United. opsmachine.co is an authorized mirror with permission from editor Karina Mikhli.
Why is Ops Machine hosting the guide?
I contributed the Operations chapter. Karina confirmed we may republish with attribution to all authors via LinkedIn. We're one of ten equal contributors — not the publisher.
What's the first thing an SMB owner should do with AI in operations?
Pick one frequent, repeatable, text-based job you can describe step-by-step — inbox triage, meeting notes, or payment matching — not customer-facing or irreversible work. See the Operations chapter for the full 30-day checklist.
Does Google treat opsmachine.co as the primary version?
No. Canonical tags point to frun.pro and Superhuman chapter anchors. We're a syndication-respectful mirror for discoverability, not a competing edition.

Fractionals United pulled ten fractional experts together to write something rare: a practical SMB AI guide that isn’t enterprise fluff or a tool list that expires in a week.

Each contributor — finance, HR, legal, marketing (two chapters), operations (two chapters), product, technology (two chapters) — followed the same six-part structure:

  1. Mindset before you spend a dollar
  2. Tool stack — start cheap
  3. First 30 days — where to start
  4. A real use case
  5. Guardrails
  6. Lessons learned

If you only read one chapter

Start with Operations if you’re an owner who knows you should use AI but doesn’t know what to do Monday morning. The spine: AI changed how you build a system; it changed nothing about what makes one good.
