AI Guide

AI Guide gives South African businesses straight, practical answers about artificial intelligence: what it really costs in rand, where it pays off, how to automate safely under POPIA, and how to stay visible as search shifts to AI.

Founded by Benjamin Stein in 2026 and based in Johannesburg, AI Guide is built for South African business owners and teams who want honest, no-hype guidance on using AI tools in their operations.

Key topics covered:

• Real costs in rand for popular AI tools and services
• Automation playbooks for small and medium businesses
• POPIA compliance when using AI and processing data
• AI visibility in generative search (how to stay findable as ChatGPT and Perplexity replace traditional search)
• Honest benchmarks of what AI can and cannot do in practice

Free tools and research available on the site include an AI visibility check, a website cost estimator, and the SA AI Visibility Index research.
