A website isn’t just a digital business card, and AI isn’t just an email draft writer.
Business use cases for websites have exploded since the first pages launched more than 30 years ago. They’ve evolved into marketing and lead gen tools, the first line of defense for customer support, Ecommerce platforms, file sharing tools, social media, and so much more.
We’re still in the early days of artificial intelligence, so it’s fair that many people simply don’t know the full potential of AI ... yet. And neither did I, and neither did you, when you used it for the first time. In fact, it’s fair to say that no one knows the full potential of a new technology that will develop over a lifetime.
What does that mean for AI in your business? What’s the plan?
At Hatz AI we say, “just get started,” and that it’s easy to adopt AI in your business – and it is – but the truth is that there’s a learning curve just like there is with any new tool.
- It takes time to understand how to speak to AI.
- It takes practice to learn which model is best for the task at hand.
- It takes patience to teach it how to handle your request and respond how you want it to.
- And it takes creativity to find new ways AI can make your life easier.
It’s this last bit that throws people for a loop. Because AI is being built into every SaaS platform and tool under the sun (Agentforce, Watson, Copilot) you might expect to see exactly the right use cases you need already built for you.
But this mindset will only get you so far – and it can actually become a hindrance to your professional growth; if you aren’t learning how to make AI work for you, you risk getting left behind where others are experimenting and learning.
Tomorrow’s leaders are those who know how to ideate, build, and manage AI agents for their own use cases.
Our friend Conor Twomey of AI One has said the best way to see how you can use AI is to simply ask, “Can I ‘AI’ that?”
Try it right now: before you start your next task, ask yourself, “How much of this can I give to AI?” If you aren’t sure, then ask AI. Explain the task you’re about to begin and ask AI to recommend how it can help you save time or be more efficient with that one small task.
Over time, you’ll find yourself giving more and more to AI. Those small tasks that make up processes will become workflows. You’ll try new ways to trigger the workflows. Multiple automations and workflows will become agents. Those agents are effectively your AI employees – but you built them. You tailored and customized the way they handle tasks.
The key to maximizing AI's potential is to think beyond the obvious.
Ask yourself:
- What repetitive tasks eat up your time?
- Which processes seem "too complex" to automate?
- What would you do if you had unlimited staff?
AI isn't just about automating the obvious - it's about discovering new ways to work smarter. The most exciting applications often come from asking "I wonder if AI could help with this?" about tasks you never thought could be automated.
Get started by:
- Listing your most time-consuming tasks
- Identifying communication bottlenecks
- Noting processes that seem "impossible" to automate
- Choosing a secure AI platform to experiment with, like Hatz AI
You might be surprised to find that the answer to "Can I AI that?" is usually "Yes, and here's how!"
We’re incredibly fortunate live at what is essentially the beginning of AI proliferation in the workplace. Take advantage of it, harness its competitive edge, and build your AI future today.
Still not sure where to start?
