Honeybook Debuts Ai Business Management Tools To Help Smbs

HoneyBook, a business platform for service-based entrepreneurs, introduced artificial intelligence-powered business management tools. “While AI solutions have largely been built for enterprises or consumers, independent entrepreneurs have been left with fragmented tools that require constant coordination,” the company said in a Tuesday (March 25) news release. “HoneyBook is changing that by embedding AI directly into business workflows, making automation seamless, proactive and deeply integrated into the way entrepreneurs work.”. HoneyBook’s AI offering can suggest leads and help create content to manage those leads. It can also manage projects and tackle finances after booking. Using “deep contextual intelligence” from 10 years of independent business data, HoneyBook AI allows for “smarter, more personalized decisions” with no need for users to train the AI, the release said
