AI doesn’t have to mean “big spend” or “months of dev time.” If you’re a UK-based SME, you can unlock real value from automation right now—without writing a line of code or hiring an engineer.
At We Are Gabba, we help businesses move fast. Whether it’s a WhatsApp chatbot, a smarter way to handle paperwork, or automating repetitive queries—our rule is simple: high ROI, low complexity.
Here are five AI quick wins you can roll out today with off-the-shelf tools and zero developer input.
1. Automate Customer Enquiries on WhatsApp
📍 Great for: Service businesses, trades, clinics
🕒 Setup time: 1–2 days
📈 Impact: Cuts response time by 70%, handles 24/7 support without extra staff
If you get the same customer questions over and over again, it’s time to stop replying manually. Tools like Botamation or Twilio let you build a simple WhatsApp chatbot that answers FAQs, books appointments, and even routes customers to the right team.
You don’t need code—just a list of questions and answers.
💬 Examples:
- “What time do you open?”
- “How much is a quote?”
- “Do you have availability this week?”
WhatsApp bots feel natural to customers. They respond instantly and can reduce support load by up to 60%.
2. Summarise Long Documents Using AI
📍 Great for: Legal, consulting, finance
🕒 Setup time: Under 1 hour
📈 Impact: Saves hours of reading each week
Upload a PDF, Word doc, or even a website link into ChatGPT or Claude.ai, and ask it to summarise, extract key risks, or rephrase it in plain English.
This is perfect for client reports, contracts, or internal SOPs. You can even build a weekly habit: drop in your docs, get a digest, move faster.
No API. No dev. Just smarter working.
3. Use a WhatsApp Chatbot to Qualify Leads
📍 Great for: Recruitment agencies, event firms, service providers
🕒 Setup time: 3–5 days
📈 Impact: Doubles conversion rates, filters out time-wasters
Ditch the clunky contact forms and start your customer journey where your audience already lives—WhatsApp. Instead of “apply here” buttons or forms that go ignored, send leads straight to a WhatsApp bot that asks smart questions:
- “Are you free to start immediately?”
- “Do you have the right license?”
- “Which job are you applying for?”
This kind of lead filtering increases conversion, shortens sales cycles, and improves candidate experience.
And because we plug it into CRMs like Recruso and Vincere—it works straight out of the box.
4. Transcribe Voice Notes Automatically
📍 Great for: Field teams, therapists, contractors
🕒 Setup time: 30 minutes
📈 Impact: Saves 5+ admin hours per week
Apps like Otter.ai, Whisper, and Fireflies turn voice notes into full transcripts instantly. You can record a site visit, therapy session, or team meeting—and the tool spits out text ready to paste into your CRM, email, or case file.
You can even train it to auto-summarise or identify key actions.
This one’s a favourite of busy founders who hate typing. And it works on mobile too.
5. Use AI to Draft Emails in Your Voice
📍 Great for: Sales, founders, managers
🕒 Setup time: 10 minutes
📈 Impact: Cuts email writing time by 50%
AI tools like Flowrite or Gmail’s Smart Compose can write entire emails from a prompt like:
“Follow up with John about the pricing and confirm Monday’s meeting.”
The email sounds like you, includes the right details, and saves you typing.
Pro tip: Save 5–10 go-to prompts for typical replies (e.g. proposals, pricing, polite nudges), and you’ll never start from scratch again.
Why These Wins Matter
You don’t need to “do AI” to get value from it.
