Anyone here taking benefits of AI in their everyday business?

On the other hand - The second mouse gets the cheese.

There a currently hundreds of small/micro businesses being FOMOd or excited into shoehorning AI into everything - some of which whom will adapt and win, others will be destroyed by their enthusiasm.

I can instantly identify 2 businesses who I have already stopped using, because they replaced real, human interaction with AI (both still promote themselves as 'friendly family businesses').

On a bigger scale, witness the dot.com bubble 2001 - 80% of the big players disappeared - most of the big names remaining were supplying to the internet, not through it.

The internet didn't blink, but the early adopters suffered.

That example is just honestly not being a tool and implementing AI in the wrong area more as a way to cut costs rather than improving the customer journey or helping your people be face to face more with clients. Those are the ones following the snake oil

Also use a knowledge base skill like QMD so you can force it to remember and then also try out lossless claw for memory which basically stores all the chat messages in a sqlite file and does summarisation, compaction etc so you can keep memory across sessions

That sounds useful, thanks!

But…

In order to improve a business you don’t start with AI. You first look at current processes. You may use AI tools to do this but AI isn’t the start point.

And integrating AI into business processes may be a solution there are many alternatives that don’t require AI.

Plus, you need to be very clear who you are targeting. I suspect it’s not the bloke doing topiary in Surrey.

Like this?

it requires planning nd understanding of your business processes to then identify where the value is in adding AI and Automation not just piping in claude to your business and expecting it to fix everything

and of course we need to remember AI doesn't fit everywhere like;

AI is being touted to take jobs really only by the ones that want to expand their revenue and reduce costs without having people. MS and a couple of businesses already tried it last year and rehired engineers back as it screwed up.
