Introducing NowNow, the ultimate AI assistant for South African business owners. The first AI trained on local South Africa  data and information that can answer questions about the South African Revenue Service (SARS), Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), labour laws and more. Its amazing tools allow AI to do real world tasks like summarise your emails, create invoices, find tenders, and so much more. NowNow allows business owners to have a reliable, affordable personal assistant and expert to make their lives easier and businesses more efficient. 

AI can completely transform the operation of a business and the life of a business owner. Anything that is repetitive can be easily automated and handled by AI. Perhaps in the future, companies will use all AI employees which perform better than real employees. Actually, this can already be done today. Top companies around the world are training  their own AI systems to perform the tasks and  jobs of regular employees such as the Swedish fintech company, Klarna, using AI for its entire customer service call system. But AI does not need to replace people, it can supercharge them. Imagine employees working as if they all have their own personal assistants to speed up everything they do. Things that take hours for people can be done instantly by AI like reading emails, analysing long documents, amongst others.  

Currently the main problem with AI for work is hallucination. That is, AI giving you incorrect answers and making up information. This happens because most AI systems are given general training  and do not know when to say they do not know something. These systems are known to give misleading, false and unhelpful answers. This has been a big problem around the world and for South African users of AI — until now. 

NowNow, the ultimate AI assistant for South African business owners, is trained on South African data and information so it knows things like SARS rules, CIPC regulations, South African labour laws and so much more. It also has useful tools to supercharge your business and life, like an AI receipt manager (to manage and analyse all your receipts), invoice creator (to instantly create professional invoices), email summary (to read your inbox and keep you updated on your emails), tender finder (to search for tenders and government opportunities while you sleep), business calendar (to keep track of your schedule), loadshedding tracker, compliance centre (to make sure you are on the right side of rules and laws), document centre (for creating docs) and a community chat (to network with other business owners). 

What is even better is that all of these tools are connected to the chat so that you can ask your AI questions like “what’s in my calendar?”, “Anything new in my email?”, “Find me tenders related to Gauteng roads ”, and much more. You can stay on top of news and social media trends with the news page that uses AI to track everything happening in the country. 

We have even more features coming soon like AI accounting, tax submissions, cybersecurity and more. NowNow lets AI do the boring and repetitive things so you can focus on your business or get back to what you truly love. 

We are in a new world, those who do not adapt will be left behind. It is time to make AI work for you and finally there exists an AI that understands local South African context and has useful tools that can actually make your life easier.
