Some of you, the AI-curious, have asked me about how I use AI. What I use.
While I will address that and lift the veil of how I optimize certain elements of my business and channels, that is not the purpose of those questions.
You want to know what AI can do for YOU.
That is different for everyone. On the bright side, you and I are operating in a segment of industry where there is quite some shared intent. And, even though you yourself want to explore, it is even better to understand what AI can do for your company as a whole, which means for other departments as well.
Showing off to your boss is one thing, lifting the capabilities and output of your team to the next level is another.
I created 2 documents that can get you and your company going.
It’s a start and with it you’ll already do more than your peer who is still chatting with AI… using it as a Google search alternative.
With the weekend ahead… you will have a couple of spare minutes or even hours to be blown away.
