High street businesses in Stone, and across Staffordshire, are being offered the chance to explore how artificial intelligence could help them save time and grow their operations.
The AI High Street Programme, delivered by Rocketeer in partnership with the Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Growth Hub, is open to just 20 local businesses.
Valued at more than £1,800, the initiative gives participants practical experience of using AI tools in day-to-day business. The organisers say there are only a few places left.
As part of the scheme, each business receives a one-to-one audit to identify where AI could improve efficiency, along with a tailored report outlining affordable, step-by-step recommendations.
Participants will also be given access to Review Riley, a custom AI agent developed to help local firms gather more customer feedback and online reviews with less manual effort.
A spokesperson for Rocketeer said the programme is designed to “help small independent traders see real results from AI without the jargon or big-business price tags”.
Local business owners across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent are encouraged to apply soon, as spaces are limited.
