AI-ify: Why and How Brands Create AI Tools

Our latest piece was actually written by yours truly, and I’m thrilled to share what I learned about the landscape of proprietary AI tools. This exploration was born out of the remarkable shift I observed in the branding landscape, where AI is no longer just a tool but a craftsman, creating bespoke solutions for modern brands.

In this article, I delve into the heart of this transformative trend, shedding light on the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind brands crafting their proprietary AI tools. From mere tool enhancement to platform-level innovation, the journey of AI-ification unfolds as a pyramid, each level signifying a leap towards a more sophisticated, AI-driven ecosystem.

I also look at the strategic ways to introduce your AI tool to the market, dissecting the pros and cons of closed betas, open betas, and general availability releases, ensuring you’re well-equipped to make informed decisions on this journey.

Embarking with custom AI tools is about embracing the boundless possibilities that AI unfurls, propelling your brand into a realm of market dominance and unparalleled innovation. Feel free to check it out here!

?? This Week’s Brain Food

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve found myself distracted by world news. I imagine many of you have, too. It’s hard to remain focused on things that seem less important than the earth-shattering events happening abroad.

At the same time, day-to-day tasks can make life more meaningful. Shoukei Matsumoto, a Buddhist monk, says, “A monk’s day begins with cleaning. We sweep the temple grounds and gardens and polish the main temple hall. We don’t do this because it’s dirty or messy. We do it to eliminate the suffering in our hearts.”

He also says that baking soda is great for cleaning your sink.

Sometimes, when you find yourself distracted by events you cannot control, just tidying up can help you center yourself. When we take control of our environment, it can have a calming effect.

Take some time to clean your space. It’s not just about making things look nice; it’s also about taking care of yourself and the world around you. Even if the world isn’t bringing good news every day, you still have the power to create order in your own life.
