How Businesses in Australia Are Benefiting From AI

Think AI is just for tech giants? Think again.

Across Australia, small and medium-sized businesses are using AI to work smarter, scale faster, and stay competitive, without hiring more staff or breaking the bank.

Here’s how real SMEs are benefiting from AI right now (and how yours can too).

1. Saving Hours Each Week With Automation

One Melbourne-based property services business saved over 6 hours a week by automating:

• Job intake forms
• Staff rostering
• Client communication

Instead of chasing emails and spreadsheets, the team now gets real-time updates, automatically.

That’s not just time saved. That’s stress eliminated.

2. Turning a Website Into a 24/7 Sales Assistant

A boutique design agency added an AI chatbot to its site that:

• Greeted visitors
• Answered service FAQs
• Captured leads and booked discovery calls

The result? A 35% increase in website conversions, and fewer “just browsing” time-wasters in their inbox.

3. Replacing Manual Reports With Smart Dashboards

A regional accounting firm used AI to build dynamic dashboards that pull live data from Xero and ClickUp.

• No more monthly spreadsheet building
• Visual insights for clients
• More time for advisory work

They're now known for being fast, clear, and forward-thinking, not buried in admin.

4. Automating Customer Follow-Ups With AI Agents

One e-commerce startup uses a Think Swift-built AI agent to:

• Check on abandoned carts
• Send personalised offers
• Collect feedback post-purchase

This one automation lifted sales by 18% in a single quarter.

5. Onboarding Staff and Clients Without the Back-and-Forth

An HR consultancy wanted to grow, but onboarding was slowing them down.

We built a digital assistant that:

• Collected documents
• Explained next steps
• Synced updates to their CRM and Slack

Now onboarding happens in a day, not a week, and the team is free to focus on delivery, not admin.

What All These Businesses Have in Common

• They’re small to mid-sized
• They’re not technical
• They’re using AI as a tool, not a gimmick
• They’re growing without hiring a full tech team

Most importantly, they started with one smart use case. Not a whole tech overhaul.
