data-end=\"339\">Mrs. Jean Carter<\/strong> has been running <em data-start=\"357\" data-end=\"380\">Carter\u2019s Clean &amp; Fold<\/em> for over 30 years. Her laundromat has seen generations come and go \u2014 from young couples starting out, to college students learning laundry basics, to parents juggling kids and chores.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"625\">What\u2019s kept her going all these years? Her love for people.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"627\" data-end=\"927\">But in recent years, Jean noticed that the daily grind \u2014 answering phone calls, explaining service options, and managing bookings \u2014 started pulling her away from those cherished customer moments. That\u2019s when she decided to try something new: <strong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"926\">adding an AI-powered virtual assistant to her website<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"929\"

says. \u201cNow, the virtual assistant takes care of the questions so I can take care of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1281\" data-end=\"1403\">Her <strong data-start=\"1285\"
