The Main Street AI Playbook — OpenAI's ChatGPT for Small Business Program, Decoded

The companion to the video. OpenAI just launched its first program built specifically for small businesses — and almost everything in it is free. This playbook puts the whole street on paper. THE FOUR STOREFRONTS with the exact move for each: the Training Hall (free product-specific webinars on bookkeeping, marketing and e-commerce — register for one, block the hour, steal every prompt they show), the Academy (in-person AI academies across the US run by the OpenAI Academy team; their own AI Jams numbers: 78% of owners built a functional AI workflow in a single day, 42% went on to save 5+ hours a week), the Library (interactive guides you UPLOAD directly into ChatGPT Work so the guide becomes your starting workflow), and the Supply Co. (a curated partner list — Dropbox, Shopify, Intuit/QuickBooks, Slack, Atlassian, Wix — with skills, plugins and exclusive promotions; scan it for the two tools already in your stack and connect those first). THE COMMUNITY BOARD: all five free live sessions with dates — Jul 30 (inside OpenAI's sales team), Aug 6 (small businesses put ChatGPT Work into practice — start here), Aug 19 (Shopify + Codex launches), Aug 25 (QuickBooks in ChatGPT with Intuit), Aug 27 (Codex for developers) — all virtual, all 9:30 AM Pacific. THE THREE WORK ORDERS as paste-ready prompts, straight from OpenAI's own announcement: voice note → clean multi-channel team update, the Monday-morning live dashboard site + inventory → campaign ideas, and customer reviews → staff training deck. Plus the two-minute join link and the one-week owner's plan. Sourced from OpenAI's announcement and small-business pages, July 22, 2026. Independent field guide from Hyperautomation Labs.
