In the fast evolving world of technology, business owners and managers like you are always on the lookout for the next big thing to give them a competitive edge. 

Have you considered how AI tools might be able to help? 

 

ChatGPT – or Generative Pretrained Transformer, if you want to get technical – has been making big waves all year. It’s an AI model developed by OpenAI that’s designed to generate human-like text based on the prompts it's given. Think of it like having a professional writer at your beck and call, ready to generate content, answer queries, or even draft emails whenever you need.

Lots of other AI models have also been released, including one from Google called Bard. Unlike ChatGPT, Bard can browse the web for its answers (you can do this in ChatGPT, but you must be a paying Plus subscriber and have switched on web browsing in the settings).

Some businesses are already using AI tools, mainly for customer service and content creation. That’s like buying a Ferrari just to drive to the supermarket. They can do so much more!

Here are three of the other ways an AI tool can turbocharge your business…

 

1.    Stay ahead with trend detection

Remember the feeling when you realised too late that the last ‘big thing’ could’ve been a gold mine? With an AI tool, you'll be the one setting the trends, not following them. Simply ask it to "Provide a short analysis of the latest [insert your industry] trends", and you're armed with powerful knowledge.

 

2.    Enhance productivity with keystone habits

Increased productivity is the holy grail for any business owner. With an AI tool, you can tap into cutting-edge research to supercharge your work habits. Just ask for the "top 5 latest ways to [improve a specific area]". We bet you spot a new idea you’d never thought of.

 

3.    Make better decisions with summaries of complex events

Ask your tool to explain [something complex] to a 12 year old… that’s a clever way to get a summary anyone can understand.

 

ChatGPT, Bard and all the others are more than just AI writing assistants… they’re your secret weapon in the business world. It's time to stop using your Ferrari just for the supermarket run and start taking it for a real spin.
