Honcho’s AI boost for small business


SYDNEY: Business service provider, Honcho has developed new artificial intelligence (AI) tools aimed at simplifying the creation and launch of business websites.

This new suite of enhanced tools will make website building more accessible to start-up and small business owners who lack technical, creative, or marketing skills.

Chief Executive, Matt Abrahams said Honcho’s goal was to remove the barriers many small business owners faced when trying to establish an online presence, namely a lack of creative and technical skills.

“With Honcho, users can easily create and launch a professional website in minutes without any prior experience,” Mr Abrahams (pictured) said.

“AI streamlines the website-creation process. Users can input minimal information, often just a business name and industry, and the AI will automatically generate a customised website complete with text, images, and optimised design elements.”

He said most small business owners just wanted a fully-functioning website up and running quickly.

Using our platform, business owners can begin marketing their business, and in turn, start adding to their bottom line, much faster,” Mr Abrahams said.
