Most AI events are built for developers. AI for Business Bournemouth is built for everyone else: the owners across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole who know AI matters but don't have time for hype or a coding course.
Once a month we meet at Patch, on the first floor of Bobby's in The Square, to watch AI doing real work for real local businesses. Expect live demos, guest speakers, your own questions answered, and a room of local owners to meet. It's a free business event in Bournemouth with no jargon, no code and no sales pitch from the stage.

AI for Business Bournemouth, hosted by Simplish AI.
How the first meetup went
On 24th September 2026, 43 owners registered for the first AI for Business Bournemouth. 25 came along, and the 20 who left feedback rated the evening 4.4 out of 5. The main demo was "Watch me run a business day on AI, live", which finished with Danni, our AI voice agent, making a real phone call in front of the room.
What people said about the first meetup
Need an AI consultant in Bournemouth?
AI consultancy for small businesses that would rather get the hours back than learn the tools.
If you'd rather start with your own business than a room full of people, there are three ways we work with local owners. You can meet us in person at Patch, or we can do everything remotely. Most owners start small, with one task fixed. AI automation comes later, once we know where your week actually goes.
The Simplish AI Assessment
Our AI readiness assessment for owner led teams. It finds at least 5 hours a week hiding in your business, or you pay nothing.

Questions we get asked
What does an AI consultant actually do?
For a small business, it means finding the jobs that eat your week, such as chasing, admin and answering the same questions, and setting up AI tools to take them off your plate. We assess first, then implement only what's worth it.
How much does an AI consultant charge?
It varies a lot. With us, the Free Mini Assessment costs nothing, the Simplish AI Assessment is £997 with a money-back guarantee, and AI Concierge is £1,500 a month on a rolling basis. All our prices are on the website.
How can AI help my business?
Usually by giving you back hours rather than replacing people. Common wins are drafting emails and quotes, writing up meetings, answering routine customer questions, and getting ChatGPT for business or Claude set up properly for your team. The Hidden Hours Score shows where your hours are going in about three minutes.
Is AI for Business Bournemouth really free?
Yes. Tickets are free. There are 50 spaces, so book ahead.
Is the meetup a sales pitch?
No. The evening is demos, guest speakers and your questions. Simplish AI hosts it, and if you want help in your own business afterwards, you can ask.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. Everything we do is built for non-technical owners.
Do you run AI training or courses in Bournemouth?
We don't run formal courses. The monthly meetup is the easiest way to learn what AI can do, and our Assessment and Concierge include hands-on help for you and your team.
Do you only work with Bournemouth businesses?
No. We're based in Bournemouth and work with owner led businesses across the UK and beyond, in person or remotely.
