🚀 Applications Of AI That Anyone Can Use

It’s all about balance. AI should reduce repetitive tasks so you and your team can focus on strategy and creativity.

1) Double Content Creation

Hubspot (CRM platform) uses AI to save hours of time in developing their blog content strategy. This includes generating topic ideas based on search trends, creating first drafts of articles and optimizing headlines.

How you can use AI:

  1. Document your unique product knowledge

  2. Create AI content templates - Access free content templates in a shared workspace like Notion.

  3. Blend AI-generated content with your business’ hyperlocal insights. Try free AI writers like Rytr. Use AI detectors like Quillbot to review content.

Takeaway ➡️ Use AI as a first-draft generator. Combine AI drafts with human editors to maintain quality.

2) Cut Down On Outreach Hours

Find reliable leads with AI data enrichment solutions like LeadSwift or PhantomBuster that use major data sources (e.g. Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Yelp and Instagram). Then push to a GoogleSheet or your CRM.

If you want to supercharge automation on company or lead research, try integrated tools like Clay.com for free.

One interesting example (above) is instructing its AI Web researcher to search for latest financial reports (e.g. SEC filings) related to your leads and output those URL links. Then run another AI prompt to summarize main points or mentions of keywords for lead research and talking points.

Takeaway ➡️ Use web scrapers to enrich and clean your lead data. Use AI tools for company or lead research.

3) Automated Customer Service That Feels Personal

Loop Earplugs (bootstrapped ecommerce brand) trained their chatbot on actual customer service conversations. They were then able to create product-specific troubleshooting flows based on common questions.

Use AI-powered chatbots and customer service automation services (e.g. Intercom) to save hours of time. Start with your most repetitive customer questions, record actual human responses and then feed them into your chosen AI customer service tool. Test on a small customer segment first.

Takeaway ➡️ Cut down on customer service man hours. Handle 3x more queries but maintain NPS.

⭐️ AI Implementation Tips

Start small and scale up.

  1. Start with one area (like a marketing channel eg email)

  2. Use AI tools to analyze your existing content performance

  3. Gradually implement automated workflows

  4. Always maintain human oversight for quality control
