Summary A

OpenAI is partnering with America’s SBDC to deliver hands-on AI training and local support to small businesses. This should increase demand from non-technical teams for packaged, low-friction AI workflows, so production builders should prioritize onboarding, templates, guardrails, and support paths over raw model access.
