The power of AI is the talk of the town right now. Everyone seems to be exploring what it can do for them - regardless of if it's personal (remove the people behind me in this photo) or business (generate a list of potential customers based on these criteria).
As someone who has worked in tech for the last ~7 years, I’ve been close enough to the ever changing landscape to know that some fads come and go. But, despite any skepticism (and cynicism) one may have towards AI, I think it’s time to admit it’s here to stay.
Since my mantra these days is “live with ease”, I figured AI could probably help me out in this arena.
Work smarter, not harder…right? That’s why I use ChatGPT to help me brainstorm, ease my writer’s block, and cross-check my work. It’s like the coworker I don’t have! #solopreneur
Here is a sampling of things I’ve asked ChatGPT in the past month as I’ve been getting my businesses up and running:
Create a cute and fun name for my pet sitting business
For those that don’t know, I have a pet care business I run alongside my consulting practice. Spoiler alert: I ended up using the name I had already come up with for this biz, but I was curious what ChatGPT would recommend. Lots of ‘pawfect’ and ‘purrrfect’ suggestions.
What are good questions to evaluate someone’s business processes
I already had a list of questions myself, but wanted to cross check to see what I may have missed. It did offer up a few things I hadn't considered that made my questioning more robust.
Write me the opening to a business proposal for business process consulting
Starting to write on a blank page can be intimidating, plus I’ve always had coworkers to brainstorm and review my writing. ChatGPT helped loosen me out of my writer’s block and get ideas flowing for how I could frame up my proposed work.
What are the steps in a new customer intake process
I first Googled this and got an overwhelming amount of blog articles in return. ChatGPT synthesized all that information into a 12 step list that quickly outlined the highlights. Then I honed in on what I wanted to explore in more detail through refined Google searches.
What do I need to demonstrate HIPAA compliance for my company
TLDR; it’s a LOT.
Rewrite this more simply: [provided text to simplify]
Using ChatGPT this way was a suggestion from a friend in marketing…I had been using it to expand on information for me, but I hadn’t thought of using it the other way around. GENIUS!
What challenges are team managers facing today at work
I am trying to get into the mindset of my ideal customer, so I want to know what challenges they may be facing that I could help solve. ChatGPT gave me a list of 15 things to consider!
It’s safe to say that I am a fan of ChatGPT and what it can do to help business owners and employees alike find ease in their day-to-day. Have you used AI in your job? Or even for personal use? What do you like and dislike about it? I’m curious to hear what other ways it’s helping you.
