On a quiet afternoon in Sydney, Ashok Alexander's mind is on the future, not just his own—he's thinking about Australia's struggling small business sector with many operators going through what he terms as decision fatigue in this digital world. As the founder of AI With Ashok, a fast-rising AI consultancy, he is determined to help small businesses across Australia streamline their operations and use the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and outsourcing to scale effectively.
"AI has the potential to be transformative, especially for small businesses that are often resource-constrained," Ashok Alexander says. This belief has influenced AI With Ashok's perspective on making advanced AI solutions accessible to small businesses. From automating routine tasks to enhancing customer experiences, AI With Ashok is redefining how small businesses operate.
Providing Tailored Solutions
The AI industry is booming in Australia, but it remains an intimidating and inaccessible tool for many small businesses. AI With Ashok aims to change that by providing tailored solutions that simplify operations, boost productivity, and improve customer experiences.
The consultancy specialises in implementing chatbots, virtual assistants, and AI-driven data analytics and outsourcing solutions to help businesses automate routine tasks and make data-driven decisions.
"We help small businesses streamline operations, boost productivity, and improve customer experiences," says Ashok Alexander. AI With Ashok frees up employees to focus on higher-value activities by automating tasks like responding to customer inquiries and managing routine processes.

Automating Small Business Tasks Like Never Before
AI With Ashok uniquely positions itself in the market. It is about providing AI solutions and creating scalable, fully automated processes that small businesses can adopt quickly.

"Our goal is to fully automate every step of the process—from task initiation to job allocation, completion, quality checks, customer notifications, and even invoicing," he says. "We aim to simplify these processes so that even college students can handle them using user-friendly AI tools. This technique increases efficiency and consistency, allowing businesses to focus on growth while AI handles the rest."
AI With Ashok's solutions have also significantly improved customer service. The consultancy has dramatically improved its clients' response times and customer satisfaction by developing custom chat and phone bot systems tailored to each business's specific needs.
