How AI Innovations Have Saved Us Time and Money (and Our Sanity!)
In our fast-paced business arena, where time is money—and often snacks—finding ways to boost efficiency feels like trying to catch confetti in a windstorm. As the mastermind behind JM Pepper POS and Website Connections, I’ve dived headfirst into the world of artificial intelligence (AI). Spoiler alert: it’s been a game-changer that not only saves us cash but also keeps me from pulling my hair out. Here are some delightful ways these tech wonders have turned our operations upside down—in a good way!
1. Image Creation
Remember when creating snazzy images meant begging graphic designers for their magical touch? Well, those days are gone! With my current AI image generators, I can whip up eye-popping visuals faster than you can say “Photoshop!” I still have my Photoshop 3 manual!! Now I’m able to create custom graphics while sipping coffee—resulting in more time for everything else… like enjoying cool music. The cool thing is I have a graphics library going back around 20 years for use with generative content!!
2. Blog Content Generation
I like outlines!! Writing blog posts used to be my version of climbing Mount Everest—long, exhausting, and with plenty of gasping involved. Enter Intelligent Writing Assistants – like the one on this website It’s my new best friend who cranks out witty articles as if they were popcorn at a movie theater! With just a few prompts with my outlines, we’re keeping our online presence alive without turning me into an over-caffeinated zombie.
3. Helping Us Structure Our Online Courses
We want to share what we’ve learned in our 29 years with our mobile inventory sales and micro Boutique operations. From managing customer interactions to automating point of sale operations we’ve learned a thing or two when operating in such a small business footprint. Without the help of intelligent Assistance or what many people call AI we would not have been able to develop our courses and community nearly as fast and at minimum expenses. Since the closing of our brick and mortar retail, AI it’s turning out to be an avenue where we can offer our experience as your asset.
4. Actually building websites
An AI assistant is your quirky business buddy, helping you showcase your unique personality online! It crafts personalized content that captures your brand’s essence, turning visitors into loyal fans in no time. With tailored design suggestions and automated updates keeping everything running smoothly, you can focus on sharing what makes your business special. Get ready to dazzle web visitors with a site that truly reflects who you are—bye-bye cookie-cutter templates! I was able to create a posting calendar for a 12 month series on fun engaging romantic activities for a boutique. Now, there’s a GPT for that!
From the Tool Kit
This is the software suite that we’ve built our entire web presence on when it comes to web site design, deployment, and use. We’ve used it for at least 10 years now! If you are going to build it yourself this is the platform to choose as your foundation.
Conclusion
This is the first installment on a series that I will be publishing on the projects that I’m employing integrative assistant technologies. At JM Pepper POS has completely flipped how we do business—from saving hours crafting content to streamlining operations for maximum efficiency.
By harnessing these innovative solutions, we’re paving our path toward future growth opportunities while keeping smiles on our faces—even if it sometimes feels like we’re living inside a sci-fi comedy!
