🤖 Everyone's Using AI Except ME!


It’s the 11th month of 2024, and AI is everywhere.

Even ChatGPT now has SearchGPT, a feature that’s challenging Google and Bing. And your competitors are using AI to work faster, smarter, and cheaper.

To be exact, 72% of businesses use AI for at least one part of their work.

Meanwhile, you may still be doing things the old way.

You might be asking yourself:

Am I falling behind in a world where AI is becoming more common?

Can my business stay competitive if I don’t start using AI?

How do I get started with AI when it seems so difficult?

It’s okay to be worried about AI.

But the thing is, AI can be helpful in many ways, yet it’s not suitable for everything.

So how can you use AI in your business without making big changes to your whole routine and keeping a good balance?

Your Simple AI Plan: Start Small

Just start with something small that matters to you or your business.

➡️ Step 1: Find one task that takes a lot of time.

➡️ Step 2: Look for one AI tool that can help with this task.

➡️ Step 3: Try it out and learn. This is your first step into AI!

If you’re still wondering what to choose, here are 10 AI tools for small business owners, and even for almost every kind of business, that I believe could be gold.

What do I think about all this AI stuff?

Use it to help you work better, but don’t let it do all your thinking for you.

For example, when I write these newsletters, I ask Perplexity AI to research industry statistics and suggest different ways to explain concepts.

But I don’t just copy-paste its response. Instead, I read through the suggestions, double-check any important numbers, and then rewrite everything in my own words - the style you’re reading now.

AI helps me save a lot of time on research, but the final message you read is still mine.

So what I learned from using those tools is, things would be better when people learn to work WITH AI, not those who work AGAINST it or ignore it.

Cheers,

Minosh.

You’re scrolling like usual. A video stops you for a second. Right there under it, you see buttons like “Remix”, “Use this Sound”, or “Use this template”. You’ve seen that a hundred times by now. That’s not random. Platforms push those buttons because they want people to take part, not just watch. That’s when it became clear, posting by itself doesn’t work like it used to. They reward participation. Google even points out that younger audiences want to take part and remix content, not just...

Last week, I almost bought a Type-C charging cable online. Then I paused and read the reviews. Not the “it works” reviews. The “what this brand stands for” ones. I wasn’t comparing prices anymore. I was checking if this was a brand I felt okay buying from. That small moment reminded me of something research keeps showing in 2025 and heading into 2026: people are buying with their values, not just their wallets. This isn’t only about being “nice” or “ethical”. It’s about trust. And trust turns...

Happy New Year. Feels like nothing slowed down after COVID. Anyway, back to the internet being the internet. Last week, I saw someone saying on Facebook, “Influencer marketing is dead.” Is it? Two scrolls later, I read a story on Business Insider that Unilever told its teams to work with 20 times more creators, not as a test, but as a main plan. Big brands don’t scale stuff like that for fun. They do it because it sells. Yes, influencer or creator marketing didn’t die. It got more serious....
