My Favorite AI Tools and How They Can Help Your Business

***Blogs are posted inside?SCALING:lab?FIRST and released here a few days later***

AI is taking the world by storm, but for many entrepreneurs, it seems mystical or out of reach. A large part of my job as a scaling coach is to stay on top of business trends and find the best tools to help my clients get their time (and freedom) back.?

I've been testing these AI tools over the past several months and I've gotta say, I'm in love. They make life much easier, are mostly free, and cut down on the guesswork. Below are my favorites.?

1. DALL-E

DALL-E is an imaging AI tool developed by OpenAI. Many of my friends are using it to play around, see what the AI thinks their city looks like, or draw something fun to share with friends. I, however, found it extremely useful for a client who needed a temporary logo. This free artificial intelligence tool effortlessly designed and iterated on the description I gave it, creating something that looked extremely professional — so much so that the client might keep it! What do you think?

2. Playground

Also by OpenAI, Playground is a writing AI that will generate text for you from a short prompt. This is a great tool for writing anything from product descriptions to emails. I even sometimes use it to create a catchy blog title for a specific idea! Using this program allows me to keep the extra-creative brain juice for my clients. ???

3. Synesthesia

While Synethesia medically means the ability to visualize sounds (like Lourde), this AI tools is so named because it will take your audio and description and turn it into a visual avatar. This is a perfect tool if you are introducing a new product and want a 'sales host' for your site, but don't have the budget for filming and editing a live video, yourself. Yet another tool that gives you your time back with stellar results.

4. Otter

I've been in love with this tool ever since discovering it. I often get writing fatigue while managing writing a blog, several books, and anthropological studies. Otter gives me the marriage of two beautiful things — smart audio transcription and mobility. Today, instead of sit with my keyboard to write a blog, I first draft it while on walk in my beautiful park. I just turn on the app and it does the rest. Whenever I have a client who says they hate blogging, I suggest they try Otter before we transition to other marketing methods. Nine times out of ten, they become a dedicated blogger, sharing their compelling stories with the world without being tied to the computer.

5. AdCreative

This AI will help you with your marketing and ad placement by studying the best placement for your ad across the web. Social media and large corporations (like Google and Amazon) have been using such AI for years — why should they be the only ones with access to it!? It used to be that one had to hire an entire team to optimize your ad spend. No more. AdCreative does it for you so you get the most bang for your buck, always.
