What is an LLM?

What it is

A Large Language Model (LLM) is a system trained on massive amounts of text to predict the next word. That simple mechanic lets it write, summarize, translate, reason, and code.

Why it matters for your business

LLMs are the productivity layer for a small to medium-sized business — they turn every employee into a faster analyst, writer, and researcher. Understanding what they are (and aren't) sets realistic expectations.

Where to start

• Summarize a 40-page contract into key risks
• Turn meeting notes into a client-ready recap
• Explain a P&L variance in plain English
