Beyond ChatGPT: 3 Must-Have AI Tools For Your Online Business

Talk of AI and ChatGPT is everywhere. And if you are like any one of my clients, you are dying to figure out how to integrate AI into your business. Specifically, small online businesses are looking to utilize this ever-evolving technology to do what we always do - more with less.? By staying ahead of technological advances and embracing these technologies you can streamline processes, boost productivity, and enhance creativity.?

While ChatGPT is fantastic (and I used it to help write this blog), let's explore three other AI tools that are absolute game-changers for service-based businesses like yours.

1. Fathom AI Meeting Assistant

Raise your hand if you've ever felt like you're drowning in meetings! ??♀? Well, say hello to your new best friend, Fathom AI Meeting Assistant. This nifty tool records, transcribes, highlights, and summarizes your meetings so you can focus on the conversation. I use it for every single one of my meetings and here’s why.

During your meetings, Fathom quietly listens in, takes notes, and transcribes every word. You can also flag important action items and follow-ups, keeping everyone on track and accountable and it integrates pretty seamlessly with Zoom, so that when your Zoom meeting starts, so does the Fathom recorder.

There is nothing wrong with my memory, but I definitely don’t remember it all.? I often “go back to the videotape” to hear the details of projects or deliverables that need to get done. Fathom even makes that easy by linking the transcript to the video and allowing you to search for keywords of the conversation. It has really been a game-changer for my productivity, accuracy, and being able to deliver for my clients.

2. Grammarly AI Writing Partner

All right, let's talk about everyone's favorite topic: writing - and this is probably the first area that comes to mind when looking into AI tools for your business. And you’ve probably already heard of and maybe even tried Grammarly in the past. But there have been some major AI improvements to the tool that make it something you should definitely look at again.

Whether you're drafting emails, crafting social media posts, or penning blog articles, having impeccable grammar and style is non-negotiable. But Grammarly has really transformed into your virtual writing coach. Beyond pesky typos or clunky sentences, Grammarly's AI algorithms meticulously scan your text, offering suggestions for improvement in real time.

But Grammarly doesn't stop at basic grammar checks. It also helps elevate your writing style, offering insights on clarity, tone, and even engagement level. Have you ever asked a friend or colleague for their opinion on an email you need to send out? Want to sound more professional? Need to inject some personality into your copy? Grammarly has adopted AI technology to help you send out the perfect communication.

3. Loom AI Video Recorder

Let's face it – written communication is great, but sometimes, you just need to show, not tell. That's where Loom comes in. Say goodbye to lengthy emails and confusing instructions – with Loom, you can communicate via video with just a few clicks.

Picture this: you need to walk a client through a new software feature or demonstrate a complex process to your team. Instead of typing out paragraphs of explanation, you can simply record your screen and narrate your actions in real time. But Loom isn't just for tutorials and demos. You can also use it to send personalized messages, share updates, or even pitch your services in a more engaging format.? And the fun doesn’t stop there. After you send the video to your team or client, they can respond and ask questions right below the video, keeping your communication clean and organized.

TIP: Creating loads of SOPs for your team can be a breeze with Loom’s transcription feature. After recording the video of the task, use the AI-generated transcript to start the written SOP.? In no time, you will have a video and written instructions on how to complete all your delegated tasks.

Well there you have it – three AI tools that you can start incorporating into your business today! Give any one of these tools a spin and you will see pretty quickly how each one of them can help simplify, save time, and increase productivity. So go ahead, embrace the power of AI, and watch your business soar to new heights! ??
