Ep 94. How I Use AI Tools to Support Me (Pt 2)

Speaker: 00:00:00

You are now tuned in to the mom CEO suite podcast.

Speaker: 00:00:04

I'm your host, Felicia, wife, mom, and

Speaker: 00:00:07

Speaker: 00:00:32

know that you aren't alone. Motherhood gets hard.

Speaker: 00:00:36

Entrepreneurship gets hard. But together, we can

Speaker: 00:00:40

do hard things. Welcome to the suite.

Speaker: 00:00:48

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

Speaker: 00:00:52

today, This is part two of how I use

Speaker: 00:00:56

AI tools to support me. A few episodes back was

Speaker: 00:00:59

part one. If you missed it, I'm going to link it in the show description.

Speaker: 00:01:02

So you can go ahead and go back. And listen to part one,

Speaker: 00:01:06

and I'm just continuing this conversation in part two, I thought I was

Speaker: 00:01:10

only going to be doing two parts, but. AI artificial

Speaker: 00:01:13

intelligence. There have just been so many things, so many new

Speaker: 00:01:17

developments that this just might. Continue one

Speaker: 00:01:20

until, you know, they stop coming out with new things.

Speaker: 00:01:24

Um, but I'm just going to constantly be testing out new things

Speaker: 00:01:27

and whatever I implement or just things that I

Speaker: 00:01:31

have learned or insights that I've gained. I'll come on here and share it.

Speaker: 00:01:35

On the podcast. So today I just have a few things that I wanted to

Speaker: 00:01:39

share. And again, this is related to both home and business.

Speaker: 00:01:43

So the first thing, which is going to be home-related. My

Speaker: 00:01:47

daughter, she just turned three in

Speaker: 00:01:50

August and I am pretty sure we're going to go the

Speaker: 00:01:54

homeschooling route. And so kind of in preparation for that.

Speaker: 00:01:58

While she's home with me. I want to start. Trying to

Speaker: 00:02:01

implement some type of. Lesson plans or

Speaker: 00:02:05

activities, just getting into the groove of homeschooling a

Speaker: 00:02:09

little bit. And so I use Chad GPT to help me.

Speaker: 00:02:13

Create a homeschool curriculum. And so the prompt that

Speaker: 00:02:17

I put in to Chet GPT is this. I said, you

Speaker: 00:02:20

have a three-year-old daughter that you want to homeschool. Please create a monthly

Speaker: 00:02:24

curriculum broken down into weekly and daily lesson plans. That

Speaker: 00:02:27

are age appropriate and cover skills such as reading, writing, math, science,

Speaker: 00:02:31

social, emotional learning, and anything else she should be learning

Speaker: 00:02:35

during this phase. it gave me something.

Speaker: 00:02:38

And then another prompt that I added was please incorporate arts and

Speaker: 00:02:42

crafts and musical activities as well. And it gave me something else.

Speaker: 00:02:47

And then I added another prompt that said for each lesson plan, can you give

Speaker: 00:02:50

step-by-step instructions on how to execute the activity and

Speaker: 00:02:54

materials needed? And so this gave me a very.

Speaker: 00:02:58

Comprehensive lesson plan. And I just kept going

Speaker: 00:03:02

on and on with the prompts, just to kind of see what it would give

Speaker: 00:03:05

me. And the themes were really good. I even added some

Speaker: 00:03:08

things like adding biblical studies in there. The themes were

Speaker: 00:03:12

really good and it was broken down really well. And I'm going to

Speaker: 00:03:16

go back, take some information from it, modify it. It

Speaker: 00:03:19

definitely gave me a starting point because I was just in a space where it

Speaker: 00:03:22

was like, I have no idea where to start. And so,

Speaker: 00:03:26

um, this helped me tremendously with ideas for activities, and

Speaker: 00:03:30

even just giving me a structure. Of things that I can follow as

Speaker: 00:03:34

I am starting this homeschool journey with my,

Speaker: 00:03:37

my daughter. Okay. So that's the first thing. The other.

Speaker: 00:03:42

Okay, I'll do this one. The other thing that was kind of related to home

Speaker: 00:03:45

was this budget piece. So what I

Speaker: 00:03:48

did. I took a a

Speaker: 00:03:52

CSV file of the transactions from a monthly statement.

Speaker: 00:03:56

And I uploaded that into chat GPT. And

Speaker: 00:04:00

I asked it to, analyze the budget. And

Speaker: 00:04:04

give recommendations, based on the information that it

Speaker: 00:04:07

gathered from the, from the transactions.

Speaker: 00:04:12

And so I put that in there and then what it gave to me,

Speaker: 00:04:15

it broke down the spending by category. it broke it

Speaker: 00:04:19

down in dollar amount and then also in a percentage so it

Speaker: 00:04:23

said on food, you spend this amount and that's X percent of

Speaker: 00:04:26

your total budget on housing. You spent this

Speaker: 00:04:30

much and it was x percent of your total

Speaker: 00:04:33

budget. Now that I'm thinking about it. I think I uploaded transactions for an

Speaker: 00:04:37

entire quarter, not just for one month. But any row

Speaker: 00:04:41

I uploaded these transactions and it gave me this information, like how

Speaker: 00:04:44

much I was spending and, um, what percentage of my budget that

Speaker: 00:04:48

was. And then it gave recommendations for, you know, trying to

Speaker: 00:04:52

either reduce some areas or where I had some room where I

Speaker: 00:04:55

could. You know, Spend more if I desire to.

Speaker: 00:05:00

And, and I guess this is kind of based on like financial models and

Speaker: 00:05:03

food, for example, you know, you spend the average amount on

Speaker: 00:05:07

food and it kind of compare housing costs and all these things.

Speaker: 00:05:11

So that was a really informational if you're trying to kind of hone in

Speaker: 00:05:14

on your budget. and just kind of be in

Speaker: 00:05:18

alignment with like those financial models that say, you know, your housing

Speaker: 00:05:22

should be X percent of your budget and, I don't even know the other categories,

Speaker: 00:05:25

but they, they kind of give these categories in percentages.

Speaker: 00:05:29

That's like ideal for your budget. So if you're one of those people and you're

Speaker: 00:05:32

looking to kind of get better with your budget, that might be helpful. I

Speaker: 00:05:36

thought it was just a little bit insightful. So those were the two

Speaker: 00:05:40

things. That I used AI for

Speaker: 00:05:43

related to home. And then the final two things are going to be related

Speaker: 00:05:47

to the business. So again, keeping with this idea of data

Speaker: 00:05:50

analysis. I first started the data analysis with the

Speaker: 00:05:54

business. And so what I did. I was looking through my email.

Speaker: 00:05:58

Analytics. And, I downloaded some of the

Speaker: 00:06:01

information from my email analytics. I

Speaker: 00:06:05

uploaded that into Chad GPT and I exited it to analyze the

Speaker: 00:06:09

data and it gave me. Let me see if I can find

Speaker: 00:06:13

it really quick. Okay. So what I exited, I just

Speaker: 00:06:16

uploaded this CSV file. Or this

Speaker: 00:06:19

spreadsheet. And I asked him, can you analyze the data in this

Speaker: 00:06:23

file? And give me a summary of the best performing emails sent in

Speaker: 00:06:27

2024. So the information included data

Speaker: 00:06:30

from. Before 20, 24, but I only wanted to know

Speaker: 00:06:34

about the information for 2024. And so

Speaker: 00:06:37

then it kind of gave me a summary and it told me the data

Speaker: 00:06:41

contained email performance metrics, including like the email name,

Speaker: 00:06:45

the sin time unique opens unique clicks, open rate,

Speaker: 00:06:49

click rate, unsubscribe rate. Okay, then it filtered out the information

Speaker: 00:06:53

for 2024. And it gave me,

Speaker: 00:06:56

um, a list of the top five open

Speaker: 00:07:00

rate emails. It gave me a list of the top five click

Speaker: 00:07:03

rate emails. And then it gave me a list of

Speaker: 00:07:07

the top five unique clicks email.

Speaker: 00:07:11

So having this information, it allowed me to see

Speaker: 00:07:15

what the best performing emails were. And I was able to

Speaker: 00:07:19

go back into my email marketing tool and see what the

Speaker: 00:07:22

specific. Um, emails were about And so that

Speaker: 00:07:26

was really helpful. And I didn't notice a trend that there

Speaker: 00:07:30

was a. Um, Increase in

Speaker: 00:07:33

clicks when tutorials. We're included. So

Speaker: 00:07:37

that information I can take. And make decisions

Speaker: 00:07:41

for the future things that I'm going to put into my email.

Speaker: 00:07:44

So that was the first data analysis thing. Actually, I did this

Speaker: 00:07:48

one first and then. I did B budget analysis.

Speaker: 00:07:53

So that was there. This is really interesting is so if you have any type

Speaker: 00:07:56

of data, And your business. You can

Speaker: 00:08:00

actually just upload it here and X chat GBT to

Speaker: 00:08:03

summarize it for you. And you can make informed decisions based

Speaker: 00:08:07

on this summary. Some email marketing tools. I'm using

Speaker: 00:08:11

flow desk, some email marketing tools. Might've had this embedded.

Speaker: 00:08:14

In there. Um, software natively, but the way

Speaker: 00:08:18

flow desks analytics are it just didn't. it didn't give me

Speaker: 00:08:22

the information. As simple and straightforward as Chad

Speaker: 00:08:26

GPT did. All right. Then the final thing that I

Speaker: 00:08:30

used an AI tool for, again, this was Chad GBT. So for all of these,

Speaker: 00:08:33

it was Chad GPT. It was creating a.

Speaker: 00:08:37

Content calendar. And so what I exited

Speaker: 00:08:41

to do, I was very specific. In

Speaker: 00:08:45

what I exited to do. And the reason why I did this is

Speaker: 00:08:48

because I'm what I really wanted to. Get a better workflow for

Speaker: 00:08:52

creating my content. This is like one area of the business

Speaker: 00:08:56

that is not systemized where I don't have a real workflow

Speaker: 00:08:59

for outside of the podcast. A lot of my content I

Speaker: 00:09:03

just do on the fly or in real time. And so I was looking for

Speaker: 00:09:07

a way to be able to create content ahead of time and

Speaker: 00:09:11

schedule it. And it really just makes sense. So I exited to create me

Speaker: 00:09:14

a social media content calendar, and it was very

Speaker: 00:09:18

specific. And the prompt that I put in. So I

Speaker: 00:09:22

exit it to create a monthly social media content calendar in

Speaker: 00:09:25

table form. And then I gave it all of the

Speaker: 00:09:29

different, um, Like parameters. And

Speaker: 00:09:32

platforms how often I wanted to post on each platform

Speaker: 00:09:36

and the different types of posts that I wanted to, uh, be

Speaker: 00:09:40

included. Um, sales polls for the different

Speaker: 00:09:43

offers. Told them, my audience told them my content

Speaker: 00:09:47

pillars and it spit out. A content calendar for

Speaker: 00:09:51

me. And it was broken down by social media.

Speaker: 00:09:55

Platform. And then for each day there was pretty

Speaker: 00:09:58

much. You know, like a type of post. For

Speaker: 00:10:02

that particular platform. And so it was really good. And then I asked

Speaker: 00:10:06

them my follow-up prompt was

Speaker: 00:10:09

related to my podcast episodes, and I asked them to

Speaker: 00:10:13

redo the calendar specifically for. October

Speaker: 00:10:17

20, 24 and it mapped it out better.

Speaker: 00:10:21

With my podcast episodes. And then I put another prompt in

Speaker: 00:10:25

here that gave them because I really wanted my content to be based

Speaker: 00:10:28

off of the podcast episodes every week. And so then

Speaker: 00:10:32

I put in what the actual topics for each week. for the podcast

Speaker: 00:10:36

would be, and then, ask them to redo it based on that

Speaker: 00:10:39

information. And so it gave me. The

Speaker: 00:10:43

information that I needed in a good starting point. Now I'm not going to use

Speaker: 00:10:46

every single one of their, um, you know, every single one

Speaker: 00:10:50

of their prompts or. whatever they gave me, but again, it's a

Speaker: 00:10:54

good starting point. I'm not starting from zero. So it was super

Speaker: 00:10:58

helpful in helping me to be able to create a system and a workflow for

Speaker: 00:11:01

my content creation outside of the podcast. And I'm going to do a

Speaker: 00:11:05

separate episode that kind of walks through exactly what this

Speaker: 00:11:08

workflow looks like. Um, so definitely stay tuned for

Speaker: 00:11:12

that. But. those were just four other ways that I'm using

Speaker: 00:11:15

AI. Most specifically this time around Chad

Speaker: 00:11:19

GPT to support me. So one, it helped me to create

Speaker: 00:11:22

a homeschool curriculum. Um, to help me to

Speaker: 00:11:26

analyze data from my spending habits

Speaker: 00:11:29

three helped me to analyze data from my

Speaker: 00:11:32

emails that I sent. And then for helped me to

Speaker: 00:11:36

create a content calendar. All

Speaker: 00:11:40

right. So again, this was part two. If you miss part one, I'll

Speaker: 00:11:43

link it in the show description and shoot me a message over on Instagram. Let

Speaker: 00:11:47

me know how you are using AI to support

Speaker: 00:11:51
