Got Questions?
We’ve Got Answers.
What is Microsoft Copilot and is it worth the cost for a Perth small business?
Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant embedded in Microsoft 365 apps — it drafts emails in Outlook, summarises meeting recordings in Teams, generates Excel formulas from plain-English descriptions, and writes first drafts in Word. The current cost is an additional $38 AUD/user/month on top of a Microsoft 365 Business plan. For staff who spend significant time on email drafting, report writing, or meeting summarisation, ROI typically appears within 2–3 months. For staff doing primarily manual or field work, the cost is harder to justify. The Tech Co helps Perth businesses assess which roles benefit most before committing.
Which AI tools are actually useful for a Perth trade or service business?
The most practical AI tools for Perth trade and service businesses are: ChatGPT or Copilot for drafting customer quotes, invoice follow-up emails, and job descriptions; Xero’s AI features for automated receipt scanning and bookkeeping suggestions; Google’s AI-powered scheduling tools for appointment optimisation; and AI-assisted answering services (e.g. Smith.ai) for handling after-hours enquiries. Tools that automate repetitive communication tasks deliver the clearest ROI for trades — anything that reduces time spent on admin rather than billable work.
Is ChatGPT safe to use for business documents that contain customer data?
Setting up a printer on a new computer requires installing the correct driver from the manufacturer’s website (not the CD — these are outdated), connecting via USB or adding the printer over Wi-Fi through Windows Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners. Wireless printer setup often fails when the printer and computer are on different Wi-Fi bands (2.4GHz vs 5GHz). If the printer still won’t connect after following setup steps, The Tech Co offers printer setup as part of its computer setup service across Perth.
How do I train my staff to use AI tools without wasting time?
Effective AI adoption for Perth business teams focuses on three or four high-frequency, high-value use cases rather than overwhelming staff with every feature. Starting with email drafting (Copilot in Outlook or ChatGPT) and meeting summaries (Teams/Otter.ai) delivers immediate visible time savings that build enthusiasm. A 90-minute practical session — working through real examples from the business’s own documents rather than generic demos — outperforms lengthy training programmes. The Tech Co delivers focused AI introductions for Perth business teams as part of its workplace IT services.
What Australian privacy laws apply when using AI tools in business?
Australian businesses using AI tools must comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Key obligations: you must inform customers if AI is processing their personal data, you must ensure data stored by AI platforms doesn’t leave Australia unless appropriate safeguards are in place, and you must be able to respond to access and correction requests. The Privacy Act reform (passed 2024) strengthened these obligations. For Perth businesses, choosing Microsoft 365 Copilot (Australian data residency available) or equivalent sovereign-cloud tools is the clearest path to compliance.
