Be it a small retail store selling clothes or an online dropshipping business, running a company is pretty tough these days if you don’t have friends to help you out. Sure, a business with a few staff members tends to have an easier time, but it’s also pretty expensive since you’ve got to pay their salaries and whatnot. If you’re the resourceful type, then you’ve probably tried to run a business on your own too, albeit with some struggles here and there.

But these days, there are plenty of AI-powered technologies that make it pretty easy for the average person to run a company–especially if you aren’t picky about what kind of help you get! So in this post, we’re going to take a look at a couple of practical applications of AI technology to help you run your business.

Many of the programs you use now are powered by AI in some way

Look at the news and it’ll probably tell you that the AI sector is growing fast thanks to all of the technologies that we can use. But did you know that AI has always been in a lot of our software? For example, many of the algorithms that our programs use to help us with things like search engine optimization are basically just “artificial” intelligence. But if we’ve always been using AI-powered features in the past, what’s with all the recent buzz about it?

It’s pretty simple: because it’s a new technology buzzword!

It’s only recently that we’ve started to see more interesting and cool uses of artificial intelligence, such as AI content creation. It’s pretty common to see AI celebrities, AI art, and even AI music on the internet now.

As such, it’s worth being cautious about what kind of AI technologies we engage with. There are a lot of AI-powered technologies that don’t do what they claim to do, or they aren’t really as powerful or intelligent as they might seem. We can’t even advise you to avoid anything that’s “too good to be true” anymore because some AI technologies really are too good to be true, yet they work seamlessly!

So if you aren’t already using things like customer relationship management software or search engine optimization tools, then you should really consider starting. Many of them have been enhanced with new AI-based tools, and they can be fantastic for speeding up processes and freeing up your precious time.

But here are a few good uses of AI that can give your business a boost.

Learning new things with AI-powered tools

AI is starting to become one of the best ways to learn something new and there are a few interesting ways to do this. Firstly, you can use an AI question generator to test yourself or your team members on various topics. All you’ve gotta do is feed it some informative text that you’ve been studying, and then it’ll spit out some questions for you to answer. It’s a great way to test yourself or even make a test for other team members.

The other way is to use a bot such as ChatGPT to help you learn various concepts about a new topic that you’re studying. For example, some people like to use it to search up information on how to use a particular piece of software, or they might ask how to make functions when coding.

AI-powered content creation works in some cases

There’s been a lot of talk on the internet about AI-generated content and the pros and cons that it comes with, but sadly, it’s usually a pretty one-sided discussion. Some people believe that AI content should be banned completely, and others think that AI is the future of content creation!

The reality is that AI can be used to assist in content creation–and that’s probably going to be the future. For instance, if you’re writing a product page or a blog post and don’t have inspiration, then it’s perfectly fine to use AI to help you write an outline or even collect examples of content that are similar to what you want to produce.

Similarly, you can use AI for research purposes for a specific subject that you want to write about. In many ways, AI programs like ChatGPT can be treated like alternatives to Google, making it a great option if you’re looking for specific research.

Realistically, you should never just copy something in its entirety and paste it on your website or an email–that’s a little too brave! But editing something that an AI spat out, proofreading it, and personalizing it, is a pretty good way to create content quickly these days.
