AI is currently a buzzword in the tech industry, and its relevance has been growing steadily over the past few years. Many professionals feel like they're climbing a mountain when it comes to using AI, uncertain about how to start and use it in their business.
Read (or watch) below as Ethan gives you the strategies to get started and begin saving time with AI today.
Practical Examples of AI in Action
Using or even thinking about AI is a new habit you need to form. It is not an overnight transformation but rather a gradual process where small, consistent habits are built over time. The most effective way to explain the use of AI is through practical examples. These examples demonstrate how AI can be integrated into daily tasks to enhance your efficiency and productivity.
Writing Reports
Traditionally, writing a report involved extensive research from books and online articles, followed by drafting, editing, and finalizing the report. This process could take up to a week. With AI tools like Co-Pilot or ChatGPT, the process is significantly faster. By providing a little background context and specifying who you are writing the report for, AI can draft the report, which is then proofread for accuracy. This modern approach reduces the time required to about two hours. Think about using AI the next time you have to do product research or summarize new information you need to present.
Taking Notes at Meetings
Traditionally, taking notes during meetings involved manual notetaking and listening intently at the same time. Then after the meeting was over, summarizing the "to-do's" and sharing them with team members. This method was time-consuming and often required hours of follow-up. Now, meetings can be recorded, and AI can take notes for you and assign follow up tasks for team members automatically. This new way of notetaking saves you time and ensures nothing gets missed.

Planning Your Week
Planning your week used to involve sifting through emails, chats, and calendars to prioritize tasks. This could take about an hour. With AI, weekly planning is much more efficient. AI reviews the week and creates a prioritized to-do list, reducing the time needed to about 10 minutes.
Building Effective AI Habits
The key takeaway is to think about AI differently and make small, daily adjustments to build effective habits. Starting to build these habits now will ensure your success as AI technology continues to improve. The future is exciting and starting to adopt AI now will help you in the future.
