How can a sole trader/small business owner use AI to their advantage? (lemmy.world)

I'm used to seeing articles about AI being used for either highly scientific uses or for generating semi-entertaining nonsense. For a personal business involving managing appointments, documenting meetings, tracking payments etc, can AI help with any of that? Other things include undertaking CPD training, occasional advertising as well as maintaining a website from time-to-time.

The people I know who don't think AI has any use for them belong in this category and work in the area of mental health, yoga teaching / training, nursing and massage therapy.

For your use case I would use ai to:

Summarize meetings creating built points.

Analyze client list habits and “predict” what services potential future clients will need.

Help with designing the website maybe incorporating new tools or features.

Help draft advertisements or maybe write a script for a potential television or radio commercial.

Use it to brainstorm thoughts and ideas to take the business to the next level.

Thanks. It has been helpful in drafting an advert - it had to be modified heavily but it did save time.

For summarising notes, there are privacy and IP concerns which supplying those as input sometimes.
