AI Tools: A Game-Changer in Your Business
Listen to me very closely because you have two choices when it comes to AI. You can either adopt it or you can get left behind. But here's the problem with all the news coming out about AI: seemingly every new AI will be the next big thing. It will take everyone to the next level, but that's simply not true.
Here's the reality of the situation: Most of the AI tools that everyone swears by will not help you in any meaningful way. I mean, sure, they're cool. They're a nice-to-have, but besides that, they're not really gonna help you.
Now, here's what I mean: An AI tool should either make you more money or it should save you more time. AI tools should make your workflow seamless not add complexity to them. So in today's article, I'm gonna give you the seven AI tools in order to do that.
The Potential of 10web.io and Durable.co
Now, the first AI tools that have the potential to make you lots of money and save you lots of time are "10web.io" and "durable.co".
Back in the day, creating a website required a lot of skills and training. I mean you needed to be proficient in several coding languages, design everything, and then write each piece of code manually. Only then would you be able to fill in the page with your copy. This entire process could take weeks, sometimes even months, depending on the complexity of the website.
It was a long, arduous, and, most importantly, expensive process. In the late 90s, even the most basic website could cost upwards of $20,000. Then came tools like WordPress and later Wix and Shopify, and these tools drastically brought costs down. All of a sudden, most people could build at least a very basic website. But even since these came out in the 2000s, one problem has still remained: time. No matter how you put it, building a good website, however simple, will still take a long time. I mean, nowadays you don't have to code everything yourself; you can kind of just put in whatever you want into a website builder, but even then, it still takes time.
It takes time to get the design right, it takes time to write the copy, it even takes time to learn how to use the website builders themselves. So much so that agencies and contractors will offer to do it for you.
And let's be honest, lots of the custom websites are actually just slightly improved versions of basic Wix templates. So that's really all to say that building websites isn't easy and it isn't quick.
And that's really where AI comes into the picture. With tools like 10web.io and durable.co, you can use AI to build your entire website for you. AI will design it, build it, write copy, and even source and insert the imagery.
And in a matter of minutes, you can go from having no website to having a fully functioning and aesthetically pleasing website. All you need to do is give AI some basic information. And that's it. A few minutes answering prompts? If that. And you'll also be able to take advantage of features like built-in SEO and AI recreation. AI recreation allows you to feed the AI websites you like, and it can recreate similar websites for you.
Now, of course, once made, you can edit whatever you want and even have the tool regenerate the site until it's to your perfection and your liking. So you can either use these AI tools in your own business or you can even start businesses around them.
You see, tons of people are paying freelancers a few hundred dollars to make really basic websites, and with these tools, you can blow those freelancers out of the water in a matter of minutes and even command higher prices while doing so. These are perfect examples of how AI tools can both save time and make you money.
Opus Clip: Making Short Form Content King
Now, over the years our attention span has gone shorter and shorter, and creators have to grab attention faster and faster, eventually leading to our current reality where short form content is king.
There are multiple ways to go about short form, and I would know because over the last year, I've had 20 full-time editors strictly working on short form content for me. Obviously, that's super expensive; we have a full department for it, a department lead, and it's simply not an option for most people. And that's where tools like "Opus Clip" become extremely useful.
You see, "Opus Clip" is able to take any long form video and with one click turn your long form content into short form content. The best part about this tool is that the AI can find the best hooks in the video and piece them together with the relevant highlights to cut out all of the boring stuff. That means your chances of virality are much higher, and the AI co-pilot also allows you to clip parts of a video based on keywords.
Now, this is easily one of the highest ROI tools on this list, especially considering how prevalent short form content is. You know as well as I do that short form is not going anywhere. Tools like "Opus Clip" can not only save you time in editing and money in hiring, but you can also build a business around it.
Of course, by now, the industry is no stranger to short form agencies, but just because there are plenty of them doesn't mean that they no longer work. That means that tools like "Opus Clip" can actually make you tons and tons of money and attract millions and millions of eyeballs.
ChatGPT Writer: Simplifying Workflows
Now, the next AI tool helps you save time and simplifies your workflow, and it's called "ChatGPT Writer". Now, "ChatGPT Writer" is so simple, yet it's such a no-brainer, and here's why:
You'll remember that when ChatGPT first became the talk of the town, one of the prime use cases for AI was to handle simple writing tasks. But there's one slight problem.
By the time you get an email, open ChatGPT, copy and paste the email, write the prompt to read and reply to the email, and set up all the fundamentals, by that time frame, it probably would have been quicker to just reply to the email yourself. And that's where "ChatGPT Writer" comes in.
It's a simple ChatGPT-based Chrome extension that alleviates all of that friction by using AI to reply to emails. It's incredibly simple, yet very effective in saving time in the long run.
Tidio: Boosting Support and Sales
Now, next, I want to talk about "Tidio".
Tidio's AI, Liro, has the power to either assist or entirely replace your support team while boosting sales on your website. Obviously, this means that you can either save money by hiring fewer staff or make more money by providing a better customer experience.
Both of these lead to the same outcome, which is more net income in your pocket. "Tidio" AI is essentially an AI-powered chatbot that can do two things. It either replaces lengthy frequently asked questions and answers customers' questions in a matter of seconds.
So that means you can easily increase your site's conversion rates by making the customer journey much more seamless. Instead of clogging the website with tons of frequently asked questions and still having loads of questions unanswered, you can now feed all of that information into AI, which can then answer all of your customers' queries.
The AI can also answer more advanced queries like order fulfillment or restocks by tapping into the database. Now, the second thing the AI allows is for the human customer support team to work faster and better.
You see, Tidio is a text-based AI, which means it can take your support agents' quick and rough replies and turn them into full sentences that align with your company's branding.
If your customer asks a question that's beyond the scope of the AI's knowledge base, it will automatically refer them to a human agent. Now, here's the interesting part: Liro can answer 70% of your customers' questions. That means your support system can service more people in less time. And, as I mentioned, the result is happier customers and ultimately more sales.
The Power of "DocuAsk" in Document Analysis
So, the next AI tool will be useful for just about anyone and has the potential to save tons of time.
Have you ever read through a seemingly endless contract or some other lengthy document? Maybe you had to do some reading for a class, or perhaps you needed to read a brief or report for work.
Well, if you've ever been in a situation where you had to read a long document, then "DocuAsk" can save you a ton of time. With "DocuAsk," you no longer need to read those long, arduous documents.
There are plenty of tools that summarize texts, and even ChatGPT can do that. But the issue with summaries is that they're only that - summaries. That means you will inevitably miss important, fine details.
But if you know what to look for, then you can use "DocuAsk," because "DocuAsk" takes any document and analyzes it, allowing you to simply ask questions about it in a chat box. Here's the thing, extracting information from documents literally could not be easier. So you no longer need to spend hours and hours scouring through documents; you can simply use AI.
Microsoft's Copilot: An All-In-One Assistant
Now, the next AI is one that I've mentioned in a previous article, but it may just be the most useful AI on this list.
That's Microsoft's "Copilot". "Copilot" directly complements Microsoft's entire suite of products. That means it's able to do everything from analyzing Excel spreadsheets to making full-blown PowerPoints.
"Copilot" can even transcribe notes during a Microsoft team meeting and provide you with a summary of the key points and action items and even execute on the actions itself. So let's say one of those action items was to make a presentation.
"Copilot" is able to create a tailor-made presentation to your desired branding guidelines. We've all made a PowerPoint presentation before, and that alone can literally save you hours. "Copilot" also knows your calendar and therefore can prepare you for upcoming meetings.
It can even generate reports and other Word documents based on previous work. And of course, it can also reply to all of your emails for you. "Copilot" is one of the best examples of AI making your workflow more seamless and more efficient.
It's an AI tool that anyone can take advantage of, regardless of their occupation. And especially if you ever use one of Microsoft's products, "Copilot" will be useful to you. Whether you need to make a pitch deck for your clients or analyze last quarter's profitability, "Copilot" can help.
Adobe Firefly: Unleashing Creativity
Now, the last tool I want to talk about is "Adobe Firefly" because "Adobe Firefly" is one of the craziest AI tools yet.
Most of the other tools on this list simply save you time or money by doing tasks for you. For example, 10-Web.io and durable.co make websites for you. Tidio answers your customers' questions, and they basically give you leverage. Leverage is really what makes AI so powerful to begin with. Prior to AI, you'd have to spend hours on a task or spend money to hire someone to spend hours on that exact task.
Now, well, now you essentially have an employee for a fraction of the cost. But "Adobe Firefly" doesn't fall under that same umbrella. You see, "Adobe Firefly" actually allows you to do things that otherwise would never have been possible. And in the process, this AI is incredibly valuable. Not only can it make your work easier, but it can also make it a hundred times better, which, of course, will make you more money.
So let me explain how it works. Firefly is a generative AI-powered content creation tool. That means it can simply create things. Let's look at three examples of how it can help you.
Firefly can create realistic images from detailed texts, which is incredibly useful if you need any sort of product photography or any other scenario where you need to depict something. Normally, you would need a whole team of graphic designers and artists, whereas now you can simply ask the AI to do it for you. That means you're able to elevate your work drastically without elevating your costs.
The second thing is Firefly has something called generative fill, meaning it can either draw in or erase objects in a photo. So if you want to wear a different outfit in a certain photo, this AI can do that for you. It can do things that would otherwise be impossible or would have taken a Photoshop expert to do. Even then, Firefly knows a way that looks completely natural. It can also turn your sketches into photorealistic images and so much more.
So if you work with any sort of content creation, Firefly will be a must-have tool, both for easy fixes and for exploring completely new ideas. And soon, Firefly will even be able to generate images from 3D elements.
Embracing the AI Revolution
Now, here's the bottom line. This AI revolution we're in is no different from any other technological revolution. And as with any boom, there will be an inevitable bust. The key here is to be able to discern what's to stay and what isn't, and then to capitalize on the trends that are here to stay.
And now that you have these seven tools to help you make money and save time, all you need to do is get to work.
