AI that actually helps: Kayur Patel on practical hacks for busy small business owners

Bridget Snelling sits down with Kayur Patel – an AI and emerging technology leader and a member of the Xero Partner Advisory Council (XPAC) – for a practical conversation about using AI in ways that genuinely help small businesses right now.Together, they cut through the noise to explore simple AI workflows and “hacks” that can save time, reduce admin, and lighten the mental load – without needing deep technical knowledge. From tasks that used to take hours to smarter ways to draft, summarise, and organise, Kayur shares what’s made a real difference in day-to-day work, and what’s not worth the effort.With EOFY landing today, they also explore how AI can still be useful at the sharp end of the financial year – helping business owners manage last‑minute tasks, avoid surprises, and bring clarity as the year closes.
