Why trades businesses need an AI policy
Most trades businesses using AI have no written rules for it. That's a problem when a quote goes out with an AI error, a staff member shares customer details with a public AI tool, or a client asks how their data is handled.
An AI policy doesn't need to be complex. For a 2-to-10-person trades business, it needs to answer three questions: who is responsible for each AI tool, what review happens before AI output reaches a customer, and what happens if something goes wrong.
The Australian Government's AI in Government Policy Framework recommends these same principles for all AI users. This generator translates that framework out of committee language and into plain English for a small trades operation.
Common questions
Does my trades business need an AI policy?
If anyone in your business uses AI tools - even just ChatGPT for writing - you benefit from a written policy. It protects your reputation, sets clear rules for staff, and shows customers you take responsibility for how AI is used in your name. Australian Government data shows fewer than 1 in 6 AI-using small businesses have any internal guidelines.
What does this AI policy actually cover?
The generated policy covers: who is accountable for each AI tool, how AI output must be reviewed before it reaches a customer, what to do if something goes wrong, and specific rules for whichever AI tools you use (quoting tools, customer messaging, job management, and so on). You get only the sections relevant to your setup - nothing generic or irrelevant.
Is this legal advice?
No. This tool generates a starting-point policy based on the Australian Government's AI policy framework, translated into plain English for small trades businesses. It is not legal advice and does not constitute a compliance guarantee. If you need legal review, consult a solicitor.
Do I need to worry about the Privacy Act?
Most trades businesses with annual turnover under $3 million are exempt from the Privacy Act 1988. This policy does not claim Privacy Act obligations apply to you - it frames data handling as good practice and customer trust, which is accurate and appropriate for most trades businesses.
Can I edit the policy after generating it?
Yes. The policy is plain English and designed to be copied into a Word document, printed, or pasted into a staff handbook. Edit it to match your specific business and tools. The generator gives you a tailored starting point - you own it from there.
Need help putting this into practice?
