Sabeer Nelli Calls for Greater AI Literacy Among Small Business Owners

TYLER, TX, USA – December 2, 2025 – Sabeer Nelli, CEO of Zil Money, is calling for an industry-led initiative to improve AI literacy among small business owners, warning that the rapid rise of automation tools means many SMBs are at risk of falling behind if they don’t understand how AI fits into everyday financial operations.

According to Sabeer, the majority of small business owners still associate artificial intelligence with complex enterprise systems or futuristic use cases—missing the practical, immediate value of AI in tasks they handle daily, from invoice capture and expense matching to fraud detection and vendor payments.

“Small businesses don’t need AI explained in technical jargon—they need to see how it reduces the hours they spend on financial admin every week,” Sabeer Nelli said. “The real challenge isn’t adoption; it’s awareness. If SMBs don’t understand what today’s AI can already automate for them, they won’t explore the tools that can relieve their biggest operational bottlenecks.”

Sabeer emphasized that while fintech platforms are integrating AI to streamline accounting, payments, and reconciliation, adoption remains uneven across the SMB sector. He attributes this to a knowledge gap—not a technology gap. Many owners still rely heavily on manual processes because they are unaware of how AI can convert documents, categorize expenses, flag anomalies, or automate recurring payment workflows in real time. As AI adoption accelerates in enterprise and mid-market segments, He stresses that small businesses should not be left behind.
