According to AI TIMES, Google in August conducted hands-on training for small businesses along Route 66 in the United States, showing them how to use AI right away to boost sales and improve work efficiency. Google also presented the finding that 85% of small-business owners using AI saw sales increase over the past year. The training stood out because it went beyond introducing the technology and focused on real-world tasks such as handling repetitive work, solving operational problems, and developing ideas. Working with local partner organizations, it taught regional business owners practical ways to use AI, reflecting an intention to make AI a tool for business growth, not just a helper for daily tasks. Although the offline tour has ended, the training will continue, and the free online course has added vibe coding for building business apps in natural language. As a result, the scope of AI use is likely to expand as small businesses learn to design and refine the digital tools they need on their own, without relying on outside developers.
Perspective
The key point in this issue is that the focus of AI adoption is shifting from technology demonstrations to on-site application. In particular, as the emphasis of training moves beyond assistance with content creation to changing work structures and building proprietary tools, AI is increasingly likely to become not an optional experiment but a basic instrument of competitiveness for small businesses. Ultimately, who can learn it more easily and adapt it to their own work may become the factor that determines the gap.
