Daily AI agent skills, Q&A answers, and local company spotlights.
- Today's Agent Skill: Business Partnership Agreement First Drafter — Starting a business with a partner without a written agreement is one of the most common — and costly — mistakes small business owners make. Disputes about money, roles, and equity almost always arise eventually, and a handshake deal resolves nothing. This skill drafts the core sections of a partnership agreement so you have a real document to review with an attorney instead of starting from a blank page.
- How can AI help me protect my small business's intellectual property, brand name, and creative work? — AI-powered tools like TrademarkNow and the USPTO's TESS search can check whether your business name or logo is available for trademark registration in minutes — and Claude or ChatGPT can help you understand what qualifies for copyright protection and draft the IP assignment clauses your freelancer contracts are probably missing.
- Today's Agent Skill: Employee Recognition Message Generator — Employee recognition is one of the highest-ROI retention tools a small business has and it costs almost nothing — but most owners intend to recognize their team more often than they actually do. This skill turns your weekly observations into a batch of specific, meaningful recognition messages ready to send in under five minutes.
