Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries by offering tools to improve efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and drive smarter decision-making. This is happening today. For businesses, investigating AI’s potential in your line-of-business (LOB) applications and its use with marketing strategies can provide competitive advantages.
Where do I start?
For a quick and easy win, try ChatGPT. ChatGTP’s generative AI engine can help easily create content supporting marketing efforts. (Did ChatGPT generate this??) Creating an account is free and it is easy to use. Ask it to generate text with natural language queries like “Generate a 500-word blog post on building automation” as an example. If you don’t like the results, ask again and get a different response.
An important note is to be careful what you enter into ChatGPT. Any information you provide it will become part of its database of information. Keep proprietary information out of ChatGPT. (See information on Microsoft Copilot below for an alternative)
Where is the bang for my buck?
The answer to the above questions is “where your data lives”. AI’s value is in analyzing large amounts of data for trends and key factors. For many businesses, the data resides in the Line of Business application. LOB applications are the backbone of business operations, managing everything from inventory to customer support. Integrating AI into these apps can:
- Automate Routine Tasks: AI-powered systems can handle repetitive processes such as data entry, billing, or scheduling, and freeing employees to focus on strategic activities.
- Provide Predictive Insights: Machine learning algorithms can analyze historical data to forecast trends, such as inventory needs or project deadlines, helping businesses make proactive decisions….and gain a competitive advantage.
- Enhance Customer Support: AI chatbots and virtual assistants embedded in LOB apps can resolve customer queries instantly, improving response times and satisfaction.
Where else can I find value?
AI is also reshaping marketing by efficiently generating content as well as engaging with customers in personalized, meaningful ways. Key advantages include:
- Enhanced Creativity: Generative AI can produce content, from copy to visuals, saving time while maintaining quality.
- Hyper-Personalization: AI analyzes user behavior and preferences to deliver tailored content, increasing the likelihood of engagement and conversions.
- Optimized Campaigns: AI tools can test and refine marketing strategies in real-time, ensuring maximum ROI.
