BEEP-BOOP-BEEP: Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Scene from Small Wonder. My first encounter with AI

In today's fast-paced digital age, small businesses are constantly seeking innovative tools to gain a competitive edge. Among the multitude of options available, there's a rising star that promises not just efficiency, but true transformation – Artificial Intelligence (AI)! This groundbreaking technology has the potential to revolutionize how businesses operate, connect with customers and achieve unprecedented success. This can seem totally overwhelming, so let us help you navigate this AI nebula.

As with any tool, being clear on your goals is essential. Do you want to enhance customer engagement, streamline operations or amplify your brand's voice? It’s best to know what you need/want before approaching any new platform.

One of AI’s most remarkable applications lies in content creation. Whether it's blog posts, social media updates, product descriptions or taglines and slogans, AI can help you create a jumping off place for written content. For example, feeding the system (like ChatGPT or GoogleBard) with relevant information and style preferences, you can generate content that's not just informative, but also intriguing and fun to read. Don’t forget, this is a tool and needs your spin and edit as well. Can I get a fact-check up in here?

Now, let’s talk about numbers. Business decisions rooted in real data tend to yield success. AI systems like Tableau or Microsoft Power BI can assist in crunching through vast amounts of data, extracting patterns and providing insights that guide strategic choices. This data-driven approach minimizes guesswork and maximizes precision. 

AI isn't limited to text and numbers – it's equally skilled in the realm of visuals. Creating eye-catching graphics, animations and even videos can be expedited using platforms like Fronty or Adobe Sensei. By analyzing trends and your customers’ preferences, it can generate visual content that resonates with your target audience. 

Your small business community is on the cusp of a revolution and AI is leading the charge. By understanding its applications, setting clear goals and implementing the technology with care and love, you're poised to become a trailblazer in your industry.

Speaking of Fred Flare, we also launched a more sophisticated brother brand (for 5 mins)... MaxB (Modern and eXciting Building) connecting with my architectural background. Here was my masterpiece: A plexi DIY dollhouse - think Barbie's Dream House meets Wonder Woman's jet meets a Mid-century Modern glass house. It was $300 and someone actually bought it. I hope some little boy is still loving it today.

And also my foray into lighting design… The ever adorable Starlight Lamp. I should make a few more of these and try and sell them online.
