AI And What It Can Do For You And Your Business
Did you read that title and cringe a little? Or maybe you answered with an emphatic YES!! Or maybe you’re curious about it but don’t know where to start.
Well, let me tell you… I was a little hesitant at first to use AI because what I had been hearing about AI wasn’t that positive to be honest. I had been hearing about how kids are using it in school to write papers and do their homework for them. I was looking at it through that lens, when in reality, I needed to take a step back and just educate myself more on AI and everything it has to offer. I think if we use AI as a tool to help us and help our businesses grow, we will see just that. I mean, our business is all about simplifying lives, right? So let’s use this very accessible tool to help us simplify our businesses and our lives, too and in turn the lives of our clients.
One way to use AI is to help you save time with communication. If you’re struggling to find the words to say and time is an issue, you can use AI (my go-to is ChatGPT) to help you write an email to a potential client. Or maybe you’d like to create more social media posts and need more ideas - ChatGPT can help with this, too. It’s a great tool because you can take the information it provides and make it your own. It’s not you doing these things for you, but you can finish the work more easily with help to get you started. This helps you focus more on your clients and less on the behind-the-scenes work.
I have also used ChatGPT with images for my business. I supplied it with an image of a room and asked it to remove the clutter(naming specific objects in the image) and replace with specific shelving systems. I have a degree in Art & Design and am skilled in photoshop but this task would have taken me HOURS to do in design software. ChatGPT completed this task in a matter of minutes. I was able to present these image concepts to my client, thus helping my client visualize the changes I was proposing and speeding up the process for this communication. I’ve also had ChatGPT help me identify an object in a room that I didn’t know what it was. It gave me an answer within seconds and an explanation of how it knew what the image was and asked if I wanted to learn more about it. From this I could continue with my organizing strategy and what would work best for my client in their space.
AI can be life-changing for your business. I encourage you to just start playing around with it. That’s how I started learning about it and its capabilities. The benefits are endless. Let AI be a tool to help you and your clients in 2026!
