Ep 78. How I Use AI Tools to Support Me (Pt 1)

Speaker: 00:00:00

I know some people are on the fence about using them.

Speaker: 00:00:04

It literally saves me so much time, especially as a

Speaker: 00:00:07

mom, I have very limited working hours. It helps me again, like

Speaker: 00:00:11

I mentioned, spark creativity. And it really just helps me

Speaker: 00:00:15

to continue to get things done. When my

Speaker: 00:00:18

brain is. Fried after a long day,

Speaker: 00:00:22

hey friend, motherhood gets hard,

Speaker: 00:00:25

entrepreneurship gets hard, but together we can do

Speaker: 00:00:29

hard things. This is the Mom CEO Suite.

Speaker: 00:00:33

In the suite, there's no shade and no shaming, just

Speaker: 00:00:36

sharing and support so we can all thrive at this intersection

Speaker: 00:00:40

of motherhood and entrepreneurship. I'm your host,

Speaker: 00:00:43

Phylicia, wife, mom, and entrepreneur. Join

Speaker: 00:00:47

me as I share my journey, challenges, and aha moments.

Speaker: 00:00:51

Along with the experiences and expertise of other

Speaker: 00:00:55

modern day moms in business. Welcome to the suite.

Speaker: 00:01:01

Hey friend, welcome to another episode. Thank you so much for being here. So

Speaker: 00:01:04

today we're talking about how I use AI.

Speaker: 00:01:08

Or artificial intelligence tools to support

Speaker: 00:01:12

me at home and in business. Okay.

Speaker: 00:01:15

So. let's just kind of get a quick

Speaker: 00:01:19

breakdown. What is AI? So AI

Speaker: 00:01:22

stands for artificial intelligence, like I mentioned, and it is

Speaker: 00:01:26

technology that enables computers and machines to

Speaker: 00:01:29

simulate human intelligence. And problem solving

Speaker: 00:01:33

capabilities, over the past couple of years, they, the

Speaker: 00:01:37

emergence of AI. In our everyday

Speaker: 00:01:40

society has skyrocketed. And it's funny that I'm using

Speaker: 00:01:44

that word because when you use chat, GBT bed is one of the common

Speaker: 00:01:48

words that they use, but this is not a chat GPT

Speaker: 00:01:51

script. It literally has skyrocketed. Over the past

Speaker: 00:01:55

couple of years and it is prevalent just in everyday. Society is

Speaker: 00:01:59

very common now. So, I'm just going to share a few of the ways that

Speaker: 00:02:03

I use it in my business and how it supports me. When it

Speaker: 00:02:07

comes to the podcast, I use chat GPT, and I use this mainly

Speaker: 00:02:10

to get content ideas. Based on my target

Speaker: 00:02:14

audience. So I will put a prompt in explaining my

Speaker: 00:02:17

target audience. Maybe explaining the goal of a

Speaker: 00:02:21

particular episode or an idea for an episode that I

Speaker: 00:02:24

have, and I'll ask them to either spit out some, episode

Speaker: 00:02:28

titles, or if I already have an idea I'll X four. An

Speaker: 00:02:31

outline. Now I typically don't use

Speaker: 00:02:35

what they give me. Um, but it

Speaker: 00:02:38

jumpstarts my creativity, or I might like something like

Speaker: 00:02:42

their structure, but not necessarily their content. It really just

Speaker: 00:02:45

kind of gets my creative juices flowing. And gives me some

Speaker: 00:02:49

ideas of what I can, what I can talk about on the podcast.

Speaker: 00:02:55

Once I have recorded the episode. And then

Speaker: 00:02:59

I used a tool called cast magic. And this

Speaker: 00:03:02

tool is really for content repurposing. And

Speaker: 00:03:06

so how it works, you just upload your audio recording

Speaker: 00:03:10

into cast magic. And then it will spit out all

Speaker: 00:03:14

of these different types of content based on your

Speaker: 00:03:17

audio. So it'll spit out a newsletter. Uh,

Speaker: 00:03:21

social media posts. It'll pull out quotes, it'll give

Speaker: 00:03:24

episode title ideas. They also have a

Speaker: 00:03:28

chat. Where you can request Specific

Speaker: 00:03:31

prompts. So one of the things that I've been doing as I prepare

Speaker: 00:03:35

to start writing. Blog on my

Speaker: 00:03:38

website. Um, is that I've been asking it to create.

Speaker: 00:03:43

A blog polls and I give very specific language to

Speaker: 00:03:47

it. You can also ask them to change things like the tone or to

Speaker: 00:03:51

shorten or lift in the number of words,

Speaker: 00:03:54

things like that. So that's how I use, AI for the podcast.

Speaker: 00:04:00

Now in terms of landing pages. And emails

Speaker: 00:04:04

again, I'm using chat GPT. And

Speaker: 00:04:08

when I mentioned chat GBT, I'm on the free version. So I am not

Speaker: 00:04:11

paying for it. but when I'm using it, I am getting

Speaker: 00:04:15

specific language for.

Speaker: 00:04:19

Either a digital product or a service again,

Speaker: 00:04:23

based on my audience. So I will prompt it with.

Speaker: 00:04:26

My audience, demographics, psychographics, that type

Speaker: 00:04:30

of thing. And then I'm also getting.

Speaker: 00:04:34

Specific language using email frameworks.

Speaker: 00:04:37

And then I exit to do things like reword.

Speaker: 00:04:42

The existing content for a different tone, or just spit

Speaker: 00:04:46

out things like summaries, which I'll talk about in a second. So for example, with

Speaker: 00:04:50

the email frameworks, I have a framework for the structure of the

Speaker: 00:04:53

email. And then I will put in my, um,

Speaker: 00:04:57

my specific content, like upload a transcript of

Speaker: 00:05:01

my content and I'll ask them, I'll say, Using this

Speaker: 00:05:04

framework and based on my content. Create this

Speaker: 00:05:08

email. And then it'll spit out an email and then I

Speaker: 00:05:11

will edit the email from there. now when it comes to

Speaker: 00:05:15

the digital products, I'm going to give you guys an example. So With the

Speaker: 00:05:19

harmony private PAC has, there is a digital or workbook that

Speaker: 00:05:23

is attached to it, or that comes with it. And so I

Speaker: 00:05:27

created the workbook. Using. Chad GPT.

Speaker: 00:05:31

All right. In the workbook. There are six modules. And for each

Speaker: 00:05:34

module I have a summary and I say that it's in an AI

Speaker: 00:05:38

summary, right? But I put in the actual

Speaker: 00:05:41

transcript from each module and I asked it to create a

Speaker: 00:05:45

summary. And I put that summary.

Speaker: 00:05:48

Into the workbook and then the workbook also has questions,

Speaker: 00:05:52

but, um, those questions mainly I thought of

Speaker: 00:05:56

those questions. There might've been one or two that I

Speaker: 00:06:00

needed some, um, Mike prompting with and I was playing

Speaker: 00:06:03

around and Chad GBT with some questions. Okay.

Speaker: 00:06:07

Another example is that for the harmony

Speaker: 00:06:10

playlist, which is a freebie. it comes with the

Speaker: 00:06:14

playlist where you can listen to it on the podcast. Or it also

Speaker: 00:06:17

comes with a PDF summary. And so again, what I

Speaker: 00:06:21

did, I had the transcript of the

Speaker: 00:06:24

podcast episodes. I put that into chat GBT and

Speaker: 00:06:28

just exed it to create I think I said maybe a

Speaker: 00:06:32

two paragraph summary. based on the audio and

Speaker: 00:06:36

I, I took it, I edited it. I made

Speaker: 00:06:39

some, Subsequent requests in terms of tone and things like

Speaker: 00:06:42

that. And that's part of the freebie, the PDF summary.

Speaker: 00:06:46

along with the playlist. Okay. So that's just some examples of how I'm using

Speaker: 00:06:50

it for things like, you know, landing pages, emails, and digital

Speaker: 00:06:54

products. All right. Next, when it

Speaker: 00:06:57

comes to SLPs or standard operating procedures

Speaker: 00:07:01

in the business. One of the tools that I'm using is

Speaker: 00:07:05

called Komodo. And Komodo it's a

Speaker: 00:07:09

lot, like if you're familiar with these kinds of tools, it's a lot like

Speaker: 00:07:12

tango or scribe. And basically what it does.

Speaker: 00:07:16

his screen records, your actions, and then.

Speaker: 00:07:20

It will create a, how to guide. Based

Speaker: 00:07:24

on your actions. And so he's a really cool just how it creates the

Speaker: 00:07:28

guide. It's snapshots your screen at certain points and it

Speaker: 00:07:32

highlights where you click. And it gives, it gives

Speaker: 00:07:35

instructions for each step. Okay. And so that is

Speaker: 00:07:38

super helpful in trying to document a process

Speaker: 00:07:42

in your business. And so just while we're on the

Speaker: 00:07:46

topic of SOPs, I am

Speaker: 00:07:50

participating in the systemize and scale bundle. It is

Speaker: 00:07:53

taking place July 24th through the 31st.

Speaker: 00:07:57

And my resource for this particular bundle is the

Speaker: 00:08:01

simple SOP toolkit. And with this toolkit, you will.

Speaker: 00:08:05

Get access to my SOPs made easy

Speaker: 00:08:09

masterclass where I am. Breaking down

Speaker: 00:08:12

how to effectively write and manage SOPs. So

Speaker: 00:08:16

if that is something that is of interest to you, There is a link

Speaker: 00:08:20

in the show description to access this bundle, if you're

Speaker: 00:08:23

listening between July 24th through the 31st.

Speaker: 00:08:28

Right. And they all, when it comes to social media,

Speaker: 00:08:32

I don't use this heavily. Um, but

Speaker: 00:08:36

I'm using a tool called video tap. I recently found

Speaker: 00:08:39

this on AppSumo and I haven't 100%.

Speaker: 00:08:43

dug into it, but basically you upload a video and it will pull

Speaker: 00:08:47

out different clips that you can post on social media. And I'll have

Speaker: 00:08:51

the captions and all of that. Um, it's similar to another

Speaker: 00:08:55

popular tool that I cannot think of the name of right now,

Speaker: 00:08:58

but I also know that stream yard. It does the same thing. Now

Speaker: 00:09:02

my extreme year has this, this feature where you can, ex

Speaker: 00:09:06

ask it to find clips and it'll pull out clips

Speaker: 00:09:09

Or. 'cause I actually used it one time. It can pull a clip

Speaker: 00:09:13

for you, Or. you can look at the transcript and highlight

Speaker: 00:09:17

the part that you want to clip out and it'll pull that part out for

Speaker: 00:09:20

you. Okay, but I'm going to be using a tool called video tab.

Speaker: 00:09:24

And then again for social media, again, I'm using GPT or

Speaker: 00:09:28

cast magic to just kind of get ideas.

Speaker: 00:09:32

Um, one of the things that I did, if I'm looking just to get a

Speaker: 00:09:36

list, maybe a list of like 10 quick,

Speaker: 00:09:39

one-liners like punchy one liners, I'll put in a

Speaker: 00:09:42

particular topic and I'll ask it to spit me out these 10

Speaker: 00:09:46

one-liners and that just helps create content that way. All

Speaker: 00:09:49

right. So mainly what I'm using right now is Chad

Speaker: 00:09:53

GBT. CAS magic, Komodo

Speaker: 00:09:56

and, video. tap. And I'll link these in

Speaker: 00:10:00

the show description, if you want to check any of these out. But if you

Speaker: 00:10:04

are using any other tool, I'm pretty sure that they

Speaker: 00:10:07

have some type of AI functionality. Now I know.

Speaker: 00:10:12

Click up, which is the project management tool that I use. They have introduced,

Speaker: 00:10:16

um, Some type of AI support

Speaker: 00:10:19

and. You know, it's just everywhere. So look at the

Speaker: 00:10:23

tools that you are already using. And see if

Speaker: 00:10:27

they have some type of additional AI feature that might be

Speaker: 00:10:31

supportive to you. Okay, so in the home.

Speaker: 00:10:35

All right. I talked about the business now at home. How am I using these

Speaker: 00:10:38

AI tools? Mainly it is, um, Chad GBT

Speaker: 00:10:42

again, and I'm using it for a meal ideas.

Speaker: 00:10:46

Activity ideas. for like activities where the kids.

Speaker: 00:10:51

And then this last one, I actually saw this on social media. I have not

Speaker: 00:10:55

tried this, but someone said that they use Chad GPT

Speaker: 00:10:58

to like write a story. Um, they got their kid

Speaker: 00:11:02

involved and, you know, had them write a story. And then that was like their

Speaker: 00:11:06

bedtime story. for the night. Okay. And so,

Speaker: 00:11:10

Again, like I said, it can be super helpful and

Speaker: 00:11:13

supportive. For you just do your research and make sure you

Speaker: 00:11:17

are mixing AMAIZING, and using these tools to

Speaker: 00:11:21

your benefit. Now, the main thing that I want to say about this, about.

Speaker: 00:11:25

AI and what you should not do. Right. When it spits you

Speaker: 00:11:29

out, these different prompts do not use what you get word

Speaker: 00:11:32

for word. Okay. Because it has a certain,

Speaker: 00:11:36

um, I don't know it has a certain vibe, or you

Speaker: 00:11:40

can just tell that something is written. By AI

Speaker: 00:11:44

and you want to make sure that whatever it spits out to you. That

Speaker: 00:11:47

you. Recreate that or edit it. So that it

Speaker: 00:11:51

makes sense for your audience and so that it is any your

Speaker: 00:11:55

tone. Okay. Now if it's really good. You know, maybe

Speaker: 00:11:59

you do use a couple of sentences here or there, but just using

Speaker: 00:12:02

the whole entire. You know,

Speaker: 00:12:06

Sales page that they might give you. You just want to make sure that you

Speaker: 00:12:09

are still making it your own and making sure that

Speaker: 00:12:13

it has some authenticity to it. Okay. And Why I

Speaker: 00:12:17

use. These AI tools. I know some people are on

Speaker: 00:12:21

the fence about using them. It

Speaker: 00:12:24

literally saves me so much time, especially as a mom, I

Speaker: 00:12:28

have very limited working hours. And for example, the

Speaker: 00:12:32

other day I was working on. I have I'm updating all of

Speaker: 00:12:35

my email workflows and just having the framework.

Speaker: 00:12:39

With my content helps me to write these emails faster.

Speaker: 00:12:44

It helps me again, like I mentioned, spark creativity. And

Speaker: 00:12:47

it really just helps me to continue to get things done.

Speaker: 00:12:51

When my brain is. Fried after a

Speaker: 00:12:55

long day, because I've been dealing with decision fatigue. I mainly do my

Speaker: 00:12:58

work at night or I'm doing it on the weekends. And so after dealing with

Speaker: 00:13:02

the kids, having decision fatigue, Um, sometimes I might be

Speaker: 00:13:05

tired. It just still helps me to get things done. When my brain is

Speaker: 00:13:09

like, Okay, you've done enough for the day.

Speaker: 00:13:13

All right. So again, this is how I'm using AI tools to support

Speaker: 00:13:17

me at home and in business. But I would love to hear from

Speaker: 00:13:21

you. If you are using AI in your business,

Speaker: 00:13:24
