The aim is to give a UK small business owner one useful idea per post. No hype, no listicles you have read before, no thinly-disguised vendor pitches.
We started this blog because the public conversation about AI for small businesses is dominated by two voices: enterprise consultancies trying to scale their playbooks down (it does not work), and AI-tool vendors trying to scale their sales pitch up (also does not work). Neither speaks for a UK SME owner who has 20 staff, a tight cash position, and a real job to get on with.
Most posts here come straight out of conversations with our clients. If three people ask us the same question in a week, that question becomes a post. The full archive sits above; you can filter by category or tag if you are looking for something specific. If you would rather skip the reading and get a personalised view of where AI could help your business specifically, the Free AI Opportunity Report takes 2 minutes and lands in your inbox the same day.
Frequently asked questions about the blog
Who writes the gofasterwith.ai blog?
Ben Morrell and Mark Blair, the two founders. Both posts run through a quick review by the other before publishing. No ghost-writers, no AI-generated filler — though we will write about AI tools we have actually used in our own work, which is most of them.
How often do you publish new posts?
Roughly weekly through 2026. Posts are scheduled in advance via the publishedAt date in each post's frontmatter, so the cadence is consistent rather than bursty. You can also browse the archive by category or tag using the chips above.
Can I republish or quote your posts?
Quote freely and link back — that is the deal. If you want to republish a full post on your own site or newsletter, drop us a line via the contact page and we will usually say yes provided you credit the author and link to the original.
What topics does the blog cover?
Practical UK SME AI: where AI saves time and where it does not, how to scope a first project, what an AI consultant actually does, automation patterns we see repeatedly, and honest reviews of tools we use. No hype, no jargon. If a post is in the archive it is because we genuinely think a small business owner can read it once and act on it.
