I’m used to seeing articles about AI being used for either highly scientific uses or for generating semi-entertaining nonsense. For a personal business involving managing appointments, documenting meetings, tracking payments etc, can AI help with any of that? Other things include undertaking CPD training, occasional advertising as well as maintaining a website from time-to-time.
The people I know who don’t think AI has any use for them belong in this category and work in the area of mental health, yoga teaching / training, nursing and massage therapy.
You can use speech to text to transcribe meetings then have an LLM generate summaries. You can make an automated tagging system with the transcription or summaries as well.
I wouldn’t have it manage appointments, just in case of errors. I don’t know for cpd, not really sure what that entails. For advertising, image generation can be a real boon but it still requires someone with some advertising and photo editing knowledge to get good results.
It really depends on the specific task, it can fail monumentally for certain things but can be a real time and cost saver for others. It’s important to review what it does as well and test it thoroughly.
