What is Accelerate AI?

Accelerate AI is a four-week program that connects Prince George's County businesses with practical, implementable AI and cloud solutions. Led by the Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation and delivered in partnership with AWS and Nub8, the program provides expert support from initial assessment through full implementation.

Accelerate AI gives businesses a clear path to adopting AI with confidence. Participants receive hands-on guidance to select and deploy the right solution for their operations — whether it's an AI Assistant, Sales & Inventory Forecasting, a Customer 360 Dashboard, or Intelligent Document Processing.

Prince George's County's economy is one of the fastest-growing in the Mid-Atlantic. Accelerate AI helps local businesses grow with it by equipping small and mid-sized businesses with enterprise-grade AI solutions adapted to their size, goals, and day-to-day operations.

🏢

Built for Small Businesses

AWS infrastructure. Nub8 expertise.

Every solution is backed by Amazon Web Services and delivered by Nub8's certified engineers — an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner.

🗺️

From assessment to go-live

You get a dedicated 1:1 consultation, a tailored implementation roadmap, and a direct line to the team building your solution.

Live in 4 weeks, not months

Each solution is designed, configured, and live at your business in about four weeks — with support at every step.

Who Is This Program For?

Accelerate AI is designed for established local businesses across Prince George's County that are ready to grow — regardless of their current technology level.

📍

Based in Prince George's County

Your business operates in Prince George's County, MD, and is in good standing with the county and the State of Maryland — current on all local licenses and registrations.

👤

Owner or Decision-Maker

You are the business owner or have decision-making authority over operations and technology. You can commit your business to the 4-week implementation.

⚙️

Operational Challenges to Solve

Your business has manual processes, customer service demands, data you're not using, or documentation that takes too much time — AI can help.

🚀

Ready to Implement — Not Just Explore

You're looking for a real solution to deploy, not just a workshop to attend. Accelerate AI participants go live within 4 weeks of the kick-off.

Not sure if you qualify? Register anyway. The PGCEDC team reviews every submission individually and will personally reach out to talk through fit, timing, and next steps — there's no rigid checklist to clear first.

Choose the Solution for Your Business

Four practical, proven AI solutions — each implemented end-to-end by the Nub8 team on AWS infrastructure. One of them is built for the challenge your business is facing right now.

Solution 01

AI Assistant

A 24/7 AI-powered assistant that engages customers via your website, app, or social channels — capturing leads, answering questions, and personalizing the experience automatically. No staff required after setup.

Amazon Lex Amazon Bedrock Amazon Connect
Use Case
Your business gets inquiries at all hours. Customers ask about hours, services, pricing, and availability — but you can't staff a team to answer 24/7 without significant cost.
The AI Assistant handles those conversations automatically, routes qualified leads to you, and ensures no inquiry goes unanswered — day or night.
Solution 02

Sales & Inventory Forecasting

Uses your own historical business data to predict future sales and inventory needs — reducing waste, avoiding overstock, and helping you order smarter. The model learns and improves over time as it sees more of your data.

Amazon Forecast AWS Glue
Use Case
You end every season with money stuck on the shelf — or running out at the worst moment. Demand is hard to predict and manual estimates are usually wrong in one direction or another.
Forecasting uses your sales history to tell you what to order, when, and how much — turning guesswork into a data-driven process that gets smarter every week.
Solution 03

Customer 360 Dashboard

Combines your POS, CRM, web, and social data into a single, unified view of each customer — enabling personalized offers, loyalty programs, and smarter marketing decisions, all from one place.

Amazon QuickSight AWS Glue Amazon Redshift
Use Case
You collect data everywhere — but it lives in five different places and tells you nothing useful. Your POS, your email list, your website analytics, and your social media are all disconnected silos.
Customer 360 brings everything together into a single dashboard — so you finally see who your best customers are, what they buy, and how to bring them back.
Solution 04

Intelligent Document Processing

Automates the reading and processing of invoices, contracts, forms, and records — extracting the right data and routing it correctly without manual entry. Eliminates errors and reclaims hours of administrative work every week.

Amazon Textract AWS Lambda Amazon Bedrock
Use Case
Your team spends hours every week manually entering data from documents. Invoices, intake forms, contracts — someone has to read them, type the data, and hope they didn't make a mistake.
IDP reads the documents automatically, extracts the relevant data, and routes it to the right place — cutting processing time from hours to seconds with near-zero error rate.

A Growing Economy Demands Smarter Operations

Prince George's County is home to 967,000+ residents, 17 federal agencies, and 7 colleges and universities — making it one of the most dynamic economic corridors in the Washington metro area.

With 95% of all county businesses classified as small businesses, the county's economic growth is driven by the entrepreneurs and operators who serve their communities every day.

AI is no longer a competitive advantage only for large corporations. Accelerate AI is designed to level that playing field — giving Prince George's County businesses access to the same tools, with the same support, at a scale that works for them.

PGCEDC's mission is to retain, attract, and expand businesses in PGC. Accelerate AI is one of the most direct ways to do that — business by business, solution by solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before registering.

Is there a cost to participate?
No. Accelerate AI is a partnership between PGCEDC, AWS, and Nub8. AWS funds the implementation and provides up to $300 in AWS credits so you can test your solution once Nub8 delivers it and completes the knowledge transfer — at no cost to your business.
What happens after the AWS credits run out?
Your business moves to paying AWS directly for the infrastructure your solution runs on — at AWS's standard rates, with no markup.
How many businesses will be accepted?
Accelerate AI runs in cohorts of 7–10 businesses — small enough so every business gets hands-on, personalized guidance. Every business that registers is invited to participate, so we recommend registering as soon as possible. Once you do, we'll confirm your spot and let you know which cohort you're part of.
Is there a deadline to register?
There's no fixed deadline — registration is ongoing and each cohort fills up as businesses register. We recommend registering as soon as possible so we can get you into the next available cohort.
How much time will this take each week?
Plan for about 30 minutes, once a week, for the 4 weeks the program runs. You'll set the exact day and time together with your Nub8 team at your kickoff meeting. Staying engaged in that weekly conversation is what drives results.
Who qualifies for this program?
There's no rigid checklist — what matters most is that you're based in Prince George's County, in good standing with the county and State of Maryland, have decision-making authority over your business, and have a real operational challenge AI could help solve. Being open to continuing after the 4 weeks is a plus, though not required.
Is it safe to connect my business's data?
Your information is handled with the same security standards as AWS — the same infrastructure trusted by banks and major enterprises worldwide. Nub8 only accesses the data needed to build and implement your specific solution.
Do I need a technical background to participate?
No. Accelerate AI is built for business owners without an in-house tech team. Nub8 handles the build, implementation, and training from start to finish.
Can I choose which of the 4 solutions I get?
Yes — during your 1:1 discovery session, a Nub8 team member maps your business's specific needs and helps you choose the solution that fits best: AI Assistant, Sales & Inventory Forecasting, Customer 360 Dashboard, or Intelligent Document Processing.
What if my business isn't selected this round?
You'll be part of the next cohort. Once you register, we'll send a confirmation email letting you know your registration is set and which cohort you've been placed in.
