Regional AI Co.

Regional AI Co. helps regional small and medium businesses build confidence, capability and clarity in how to use artificial intelligence for real, meaningful business impact. We specialise in making AI accessible and practical for time-poor business owners who are often wearing every hat – from operations and customer service to marketing and growth.

Our work combines strategic insight, hands-on education and people-centred change support. We deliver community workshops with councils, business chambers and local networks to introduce AI in a simple, relatable way using examples that reflect regional industries. We also provide productivity audits to identify where automation can save time, reduce admin load and strengthen communication, along with clear recommendations on the right tools for each business.

Regional AI Co. is developing a bite-sized online learning platform tailored specifically to regional industries such as agriculture, tourism, retail, trades and services. This responds to the reality that many regional business owners are time-poor and need short, practical training that fits into their day.

Our mission is to empower regional businesses to work smarter, tell stronger stories and grow sustainably by adopting AI in a way that feels approachable, achievable and truly useful.
