Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Naviask AI and how we help small business owners find the right AI tools.
Naviask AI is a consultation service that helps small business owners find the right AI tools for their specific needs. In about 10 minutes, our AI consultant Sarah learns about your business challenges and matches you with vetted tools from our curated database—complete with real pricing and a clear implementation plan.
Google and ChatGPT give generic lists without understanding your specific situation. Naviask was built by small business owners for small business owners—we understand the real challenges you face. Our AI asks about your industry, pain points, budget, and goals before recommending anything. You get personalized matches from a curated database of vetted tools with verified pricing, not hallucinated features or overwhelming lists. Think of it as 40 hours of research condensed into a 10-minute conversation.
Visit our consultation page and start chatting with Sarah, our AI consultant. She'll ask a few questions about your business, challenges, and goals. The conversation takes about 3-10 minutes—no account creation or credit card required to get started.
Most consultations take 3-10 minutes. Sarah asks focused questions about your business needs, and once she has enough context, your personalized report is generated instantly.
You receive a personalized report that includes: AI tool recommendations matched to your specific needs, real pricing information, ROI projections based on your business context, and a step-by-step implementation roadmap to get started.
Our curated database covers AI tools across key business categories including customer service automation, marketing and content creation, sales and CRM, operations and productivity, analytics, and e-commerce. We focus on tools that are accessible for small businesses—not enterprise-only solutions with six-figure price tags.
Traditional SaaS digitizes tasks—it helps you do the same work faster. AI tools actually automate decisions and multiply your capabilities. For example, a traditional CRM stores your contacts; an AI-powered CRM predicts which leads are most likely to convert and tells you when to follow up. Our database specifically curates tools with genuine AI capabilities that can save small business owners significant time.
