Waterloo has a lot of long-standing, family-run businesses. The question for a lot of them isn't whether to adopt AI, it's which one thing is actually worth the trouble.
Waterloo's business community includes plenty of operations that have run the same way for decades. The AI Tools Assessment is built for exactly that conversation: a plain-English look at which single AI tool, if any, would make a real difference for a Waterloo business, without overhauling how it runs.
Based in Altoona, Iowa. Serving Waterloo and small businesses across the state.
What the assessment checks for Waterloo businesses
The AI Tools Assessment checks your business against a short list. If something doesn't apply, you won't hear a pitch for it.
Missed-call text-back
Every call that goes to voicemail is a customer who might just call the next business. A text goes out automatically the second you miss it.
AI chat and SMS booking
A customer texts or chats to book instead of playing phone tag. It's a two-minute job for them, any time of day.
Automated lead follow-up
A lead who doesn't hear back in minutes often stops looking. Automatic follow-up closes more of what a Waterloo business is already getting.
Automatic review requests
Happy customers rarely leave a review on their own. Asking at the right moment, automatically, is usually all it takes.

One person, not a call center
Easy Biz Tech is run by Ted Gaunt, based in Altoona, Iowa. Ted spent 30 years running his own small businesses before turning to this work, so he's not selling AI he's never used himself, he's pointing out what's actually worth adopting, including for business owners in Waterloo.
His clients so far are the kind of small local businesses that find him by word of mouth: the businesses people already know and trust, plus churches, ministries, and musicians. He's one person who listens first, then tells you the truth about what AI would and wouldn't do for you.
