Listen to me very closely because you have two choices when it comes to AI: you can either adopt it or you can get left behind. But here's the problem: with all the news coming out about AI, it seems like every new AI tool is touted as the next big thing that will take everyone to the next level. But that's simply not true. Here's the reality of the situation: most of the AI tools that everyone swears by will not help you in any meaningful way. Sure, they're cool and nice to have, but besides that, they're not really going to help you.
An AI tool should either make you more money or it should save you more time. AI tools should make your workflow seamless, not add complexity to them. So in today's blog post, I'm going to give you the seven AI tools that will do just that.
1. 10Web.io and Durable.co
The first AI tools that have the potential to make you lots of money and save you lots of time are 10Web.io and Durable.co.
Back in the day, creating a website required a lot of skills and training. You needed to be proficient in several coding languages, design everything, and write each piece of code manually. This entire process could take weeks, sometimes even months, depending on the complexity of the website. It was a long, arduous, and most importantly, expensive process. In the late 90s, even the most basic website could cost upwards of twenty thousand dollars.
Then came tools like WordPress and later Wix and Shopify, which drastically brought costs down. All of a sudden, most people could build at least a very basic website. But even since these came out in the 2000s, one problem has still remained: time. No matter how you put it, building a good website, however simple, will still take a long time. Sure, nowadays you don't have to code everything yourself; you can just put in whatever you want into a website builder. But even then, it still takes time to get the design right, write the copy, and learn how to use the website builders themselves.
That's where AI comes into the picture. With tools like 10Web.io and Durable, you can use AI to build your entire website for you. The AI will design it, build it, write copy, and even source and insert the imagery. In a matter of minutes, you can go from having no website to having a fully functioning and aesthetically pleasing website. All you need to do is give the AI some basic information, and that's it—a few minutes answering prompts, if that.
These tools also offer features like built-in SEO and AI Recreation, which allows you to feed the AI websites you like and have it recreate similar websites for you. Once made, you can edit whatever you want and even have the tool regenerate the site until it's to your perfection and liking.
You can either use these AI tools in your own business or even start businesses around them. Tons of people are paying freelancers a few hundred dollars to make really basic websites, and with these tools, you can blow those freelancers out of the water in a matter of minutes and even command higher prices while doing so. These are perfect examples of how AI tools can both save time and make you money.
2. Opus Clip
Over the years, our attention span has gotten shorter and shorter, and creators have to grab attention faster and faster. This has led to our current reality where short-form content is king. There are multiple ways to go about short-form content, and I would know because over the last year, I've had 20 full-time editors strictly doing short-form content for me. Obviously, that's super expensive. We have a full department for it, a department lead, and it's simply not an option for most people.
That's where a tool like Opus Clip becomes extremely useful. Opus Clip is able to take any long-form video and, with one click, turn your long-form content into short-form content. The best part about this tool is that the AI is able to find the best hooks in the video and piece them together with the relevant highlights, cutting out all of the boring stuff. This means that your chances of virality are much higher. The AI copilot also allows you to clip parts of a video based on keywords.
This is easily one of the highest ROI tools on this list, especially considering how prevalent short-form content is. Short-form content is not going anywhere, and tools like Opus Clip can not only save you time in editing and money in hiring but also help you build a business around it. Short-form agencies are still effective, and tools like Opus can actually make you tons of money and attract millions of eyeballs.
3. ChatGPT Writer
The next AI tool helps you save time and actually simplifies your workflow: ChatGPT Writer.
When ChatGPT first became the talk of the town, one of the prime use cases for AI was to do simple writing tasks. But there's one slight problem: by the time you get an email, open ChatGPT, copy and paste the email, write the prompt to read and reply to the email, you might find it quicker to just reply to the email yourself. That's where ChatGPT Writer comes in. It's a simple ChatGPT-based Chrome extension that alleviates all of that friction with using AI to reply to emails. It's incredibly simple yet very effective in saving time in the long run.
4. Tidio
Next, I want to talk about Tidio. Tidio's AI, Lero, has the power to either assist or entirely replace your support team while boosting sales on your website. This means that you either save money by hiring less staff or make more money by providing a better customer experience, both of which lead to more net income in your pocket.
Tidio AI is essentially an AI-powered chatbot that can do two things: it either replaces lengthy frequently asked questions and answers customers' questions in a matter of seconds, or it assists your human customer support team to work faster and better. The AI can answer more advanced queries like order fulfillment or restocks by tapping into the database. If a customer asks a question beyond the AI's knowledge base, it will automatically refer them to a human agent.
Lero can answer 70% of your customers' questions, meaning your support system can service more people in less time. The result is happier customers and ultimately more sales.
5. DocuAsk
The next AI tool will be useful for just about anyone and has the potential to save tons of time: DocuAsk.
Have you ever read through a seemingly endless contract or some other lengthy document? Maybe you have to do some reading for a class or need to read a brief or report for work. If you've ever been in a situation where you have to read a long document, DocuAsk can save you a ton of time. With DocuAsk, you no longer need to read those long, arduous documents. There are plenty of tools that summarize text, but the issue with summaries is that they are only that—summaries. This means you will inevitably miss important fine details.
DocuAsk takes any document and analyzes it so you can simply ask questions about it in a chat box. Extracting information from documents literally could not be easier, saving you hours of scouring through documents.
6. Microsoft's Co-Pilot
The next AI tool may just be the most useful AI on this list: Microsoft's Co-Pilot.
Co-Pilot directly complements Microsoft's entire suite of products, meaning it can do everything from analyzing Excel spreadsheets to making full-blown PowerPoints. Co-Pilot can even transcribe notes during a Microsoft Teams meeting and provide you with a summary of the key points and action items, and even execute on the actions itself. For example, if one of those action items is to make a presentation, Co-Pilot can create a tailor-made presentation to your desired branding guidelines.
Co-Pilot also knows your calendar and can prepare you for upcoming meetings. It can generate reports and other Word documents based on previous work and reply to all of your emails for you. Co-Pilot is one of the best examples of AI making your workflow more seamless and efficient. It's an AI tool that anyone can take advantage of, regardless of their occupation.
7. Adobe Firefly
The last tool I want to talk about is Adobe Firefly. Adobe Firefly is one of the craziest AI tools yet.
Most of the other tools on this list simply save you time or money by doing tasks for you. For example, 10Web and Durable make websites for you, and Tidio answers your customers' questions. They give you leverage, which is what makes AI so powerful to begin with. Prior to AI, you'd have to spend hours on a task or spend money to hire someone to spend hours on that task. Now, you essentially have an employee for a fraction of the cost.
Adobe Firefly, however, allows you to do things that otherwise would never have been possible. This AI is incredibly valuable because it can make your work easier and a hundred times better, which will make you more money. Firefly is a generative AI-powered content creation tool that can create realistic images from detailed text, making it incredibly useful for product photography or any scenario where you need to depict something. Normally, you would need a whole team of graphic designers and artists, but now you can simply ask the AI to do it for you.
Firefly also has something called generative fill, which can either draw in or erase objects in a photo. If you want to wear a different outfit in a certain photo, this AI can do that for you. It can do things that would otherwise be impossible or would have taken a Photoshop expert to do. Firefly can also turn your sketches into photorealistic images and so much more. If you work with any sort of content creation, Firefly will be a must-have tool for both easy fixes and exploring completely new ideas. Soon, Firefly will even be able to generate images from 3D elements.
Conclusion
This AI revolution we're in is no different from any other technological revolution. As with any boom, there will be an inevitable bust. The key here is to be able to discern what's here to stay and what isn't, and then capitalize on the trends that are here to stay. Now that you have these seven tools to help you make money and save time, all you need to do is get to work. And as always, I'll be watching from afar and rooting for you.
By adopting these AI tools, you can streamline your workflow, save time, and boost your income. Whether you're building websites, creating content, managing customer support, or analyzing documents, these AI tools offer practical solutions to enhance your productivity and profitability. So, don't get left behind—embrace the power of AI and transform your business today.
