AI tools for marketing and small business
The table lists AI tools for marketing and small businesses, detailing each tool’s function, target audience, and cost. The newest entries include Microsoft’s ChatGPT add‑in for Word, which offers AI drafting, editing, summarizing and formatting within documents, and Google’s Shopping integration that enriches AI‑driven product recommendations with FAQs, accessories and substitutes. Also highlighted are Google’s Gemini for Workspace, enabling Gemini AI to pull data from apps like Asana, HubSpot and Salesforce directly in Workspace, all available at no extra charge.
Every tool the desk has covered that a marketer, a small-business owner or a small team can use, newest change first. The entries are built from the news, so this is a record of what changed and when, not a review: nothing here has been tested by us, the prices are the ones the coverage stated, and the caveat on each row is the one the reporting gave. Check the price on the maker's own page before you commit.
