How to use this guide

This guide organises 45 of our articles on artificial intelligence into seven sections. You do not have to read everything. Choose the section that answers your question today, and the links in each article will guide you further.

Every article opens with a short “In 60 seconds” box, so within a minute you can check whether it is the right text for you. We give figures with their source and date, because in this field many things change every few months. We update the guide together with the articles.

Visibility in Google and in AI model answers

More and more searches end with an AI answer before anyone clicks a link. These articles explain how this new “first page of results” works and what a company can do to be on it. If you would rather leave it to specialists, see how we work on AI search visibility.

PR and communication in the age of AI

Language models learn about companies mainly from what others write about them. That is why public relations is back in the game with renewed force (we covered the basics in our article on how external PR shapes a company’s image), while at the same time new threats are emerging that did not exist ten years ago.

AI law, risk and ethics

AI regulations are coming into force in stages until 2028, and some obligations already apply. Here you will find the timetable, practical explanations and the risks that management boards ask about.

AI implementation, tools and team skills

Most companies do not need a big project — just a sensible plan, a few well-chosen tools and a team that knows how to use them.

AI agents and automation

An AI agent is a program that carries out the successive steps of a task by itself. It sounds futuristic, but the first sensible implementations start with simple, repetitive activities.

AI in marketing, advertising and content

AI speeds up writing, graphics, translation and advertising. These articles show how to use it so that the audience sees quality, not a machine.

AI in sales and business departments

Beyond marketing, AI is making its way into sales, customer service, HR, finance and manufacturing. Each of these areas has its own benefits and its own legal pitfalls.

Where to start in your company

If you are just starting out, do not buy tools straight away. These four steps will take a few weeks and give you a basis for every subsequent decision.

  1. STEP 01Check what the models say about you

    Ask ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Mode in Google a dozen or so questions your customers ask. Record the answers with the date.

  2. STEP 02Name one task to improve

    Choose a repetitive activity that eats up your team’s time, for example a media report or replies to typical customer questions.

  3. STEP 03Set rules for using AI

    A short set of instructions: what data we do not paste into tools, who checks texts before publication, when we label content.

  4. STEP 04Measure the effect after three months

    Compare the result with the period before the change and with an area you did not touch. Only then do you know whether it works.

The five mistakes we see most often at the start

1

Starting by buying tools

A subscription without a named task ends with nobody using it after three months. Task first, then tool.

2

Pasting everything to hand into the chat

Customer data, contracts and financial results should not go into tools without a data processing agreement and privacy settings. A leak is hard to reverse afterwards.

3

Publishing AI texts without editing

A model can state falsehoods with confidence. Every text containing figures, names and quotes must be read by a human.

4

Treating AI visibility like old-school SEO

Model answers depend heavily on what others write about the company. Optimising your own website alone will not solve this.

5

No point of reference

Without a record of how things were before the change, you cannot tell the effect of your work apart from the season or from changes in Google itself.

The questions we hear most often about AI in business

Where should a small company start with implementing AI?

With one repetitive task that takes up most of the team’s time, and with short rules for using the tools. We describe a step-by-step plan in our article on a 90-day AI implementation.

Does a company have to train its employees in AI?

The EU regulation requires companies to support the development of the skills of people who use AI systems. A certificate is not required. Details are in our articles on the AI Act and on training.

Does content prepared with the help of AI have to be labelled?

It depends on the type of content and on whether it has undergone editorial control. The obligations under Article 50 of the AI Act have applied since 2 August 2026; we explain them in our article on labelling AI content.

How can I check what ChatGPT says about my company?

Prepare 15–20 questions your customers ask, put them to ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Mode, and record the results with the date. Repeat this every month with the same questions.

Does Google penalise content written with the help of AI?

Google assesses how useful content is, not how it was created. The problem is mass-produced texts without value. A text with substance, sources and a named author has the same chances as any other.

How often do you update this guide?

Together with the articles, whenever regulations, tool prices or the way search engines work change. We give a date with every figure so that you know when it was current.
