Generative AI is making it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to keep up with operations, increase productivity, and deliver great customer experiences. We are here to help you use the power of AI with practical training and help you get it up and running.
Want to see how it works? Let’s examine some real-world generative AI examples of how SMBs are using AI to set themselves apart in today’s competitive market.!
What is generative AI?
Generative AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence that creates output – like text, images, audio, and even code – based on prompts. Applications such as ChatGPT, DALL·E, and other emerging AI technologies allow businesses to create high-quality outputs with minimal hassle and at an affordable cost.
For small and medium-sized businesses, the potential is huge and opens up opportunities to save time and money and connect with customers in a more meaningful way. Here are a few practical examples:
1. Content creation for marketing
Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Jasper AI help businesses create:
- Social media posts: AI generates engaging captions, hashtags, and content tailored to your target audience.
- Blog posts: Save hours of writing with AI-generated drafts that require minimal editing.
- Email campaigns: Personalize and automate email sequences to better nurture leads and boost engagement.
Real-world example:
A photography studio wished to increase its visibility online. During our workshop, we taught them how to write more effective prompts for ChatGPT. Today, they use these prompts to produce personalized blog posts and social media content in minutes.
2. Customer support automation
AI-based chatbots are transforming customer support for small and medium businesses. These chatbots offer accurate, real-time responses to customers’ queries, reducing the need for a large customer support team.
Benefits:
- Availability 24/7
- Support in various languages
- Increased customer satisfaction
Real-world example:
A small e-commerce platform used a chatbot to handle FAQs and returns. This left the team free to focus on the more complex customer questions and created a 30% time savings in response time.
3. Product recommendations
Generative AI algorithms analyze consumer behavior to generate personalized product recommendations, which can help boost conversion rates and customer loyalty.
Real-world example:
A boutique clothing shop used AI to generate product recommendations based on customers’ browsing histories. This led to a 25% sales increase in just three months.
4. Graphic design and branding
Tools, such as DALL·E and Canva’s AI capabilities, help business owners and their teams create unique visuals and marketing materials quickly, such as:
- Custom logos and icons
- Social media graphics
- Business cards
- Charts, graphs, and illustrations
Real-world example:
A startup used generative AI to design visually striking pitch decks and social media ads, saving over $5,000 in graphic design costs per year.
5. Streamlined HR processes
Generative AI can help with human resources tasks, like drafting job descriptions and evaluating resumes. It can also create personalized onboarding materials for new employees.
Real-world example:
A tech firm applied AI to screen resumes, cutting hiring time by 50% while ensuring the right candidates reached the interview stage.
6. Improved product development
Generative AI can create prototypes, draft ideas, and even generate 3D models for product design, making innovation more accessible to small businesses.
Real-world example:
A furniture maker used AI to design modular furniture based on customer preferences, speeding up the product development process by 40%.
7. Financial forecasting and reporting
With AI-driven tools, SMBs can analyze data in real-time, look for trends and formulate comprehensive financial reports. This allows businesses to make informed financial decisions more efficiently.
Real-world example:
A restaurant chain used AI-driven technology to predict its inventory usage, saving thousands of dollars every month on food.
