Starter Story - Your next co-founder could be a machine

Whether you’re trying to start a business but struggle to find the time to work on it due to your other obligations, or are trying to grow one but feel like there aren’t enough hours each day, this post might help you get so much more work done. 

ChatGPT is all over now, but AI is much more than that. There are hundreds of tools that you can leverage to start and grow a business.

Here are some ways a busy person could leverage AI tools:

Find a business idea

Just in case you already don’t have one.

Let's say you are considering starting a healthy snack delivery service.  

You want to know which areas in your region have the highest demand for healthy snacks and what types of snacks are most popular among consumers. 

AI tools could help you:

Detect areas with the highest concentration of health-conscious consumers. Using data from mobile apps,  or social media to identify people who frequent health food stores, gyms, or other fitness-related businesses. 

Analyze online reviews and social media posts related to healthy snacks. And apply sentiment analysis to determine which brands and types of snacks are most popular among consumers and spot any common complaints or pain points. 

Track sales data and find any gaps in the market for specific types of healthy snacks.

Create content

Content creation is hard. But super important to market any business. And some people really struggle with it. 

This is the perfect use case for AI.

Level up your LinkedIn and Twitter game with AI tools and generate high-quality, engaging copy for your social media posts.

How can you do it? Simply input a topic or prompt into the tool, and get relevant content ideas. Now you just need to make some minor edits to adjust it to your own tone and style.

Schedule a full week’s content by working just an hour or two.

Get rid of most customer support

Answering customer inquiries and requests can be time-consuming to manage manually. 

AI-powered chatbots like Intercom or Zendesk have been around for some time now, and they’re capable of understanding customer inquiries and providing relevant responses. 

They can answer common customer inquiries, such as product information, shipping details, and order status, immediately and without the need for human intervention. 

For more complex inquiries, the chatbot can escalate the conversation to a real person.

Automate repetitive tasks

Forget about spending all day filling out spreadsheets. Instead, save time, reduce errors, and focus on critical tasks that will take you to the next level. 

Let's say you run an e-commerce business and receive many customer orders daily. You must enter the customer information and order details into your database to fulfill the orders. This is a time-consuming task that requires a significant amount of manual labor. 

How can you automate something like this? Use a tool to extract data from customer orders and enter it into your database automatically. 

For example, you could use a tool like Docparser, which uses machine learning algorithms to extract data from PDF documents, including order forms.

Additionally, you can use the extracted data to generate reports and gain insights into customer behavior, which can help you make data-driven decisions to grow your business.
