Listen... running a small business means wearing a LOT of hats. I think I have worn all the hats at one time before. Marketer, accountant, customer service guru, social media manager... and the list goes on!
Wouldn't it be awesome to delegate some of that daily workload? Turns out, you can – with the help of AI assistants.
Think of AI assistants as the tech-savvy interns you always wished you could afford. They handle those repetitive tasks, freeing up your mental space for the big-picture thinking that drives your business forward.
So, what can these AI interns do for you?
Taming Your Calendar:Â Your AI assistant can schedule meetings, book appointments, and remind you of everything from client calls to your own self-care break! Tools like X.ai or Calendly integrate with your schedule and let others book time, saving that back-and-forth email hassle.
The 24/7 Helper:Â Â Customer questions popping up at odd hours? Let your AI assistant handle basic customer questions, freeing you up to tackle those in-depth client needs. Plus, they're available 24/7, even when you're catching up on sleep! Platforms like Ada or Chatfuel can create custom chatbots for your website or social media!
Your Data Analyst Sidekick:Â Your AI assistant can give you quick summaries of things like website traffic, sales figures, or top-performing social posts. Think of them as your bite-sized business analytics snack. Ask Google Assistant for key metrics (if you use Google Analytics) or get tailored reports from tools like Jasper.ai.
Always-On Research Team:Â Need to find industry stats? Competitor info? Your AI assistant becomes your on-demand research partner. Experiment with voice commands for search engines or try a research-focused assistant like Elicit.
