I did not get what I was hoping for out of The AI Advantage Summit. Still, the time was not entirely wasted, as I was able to come up with the titles of nearly a year's worth of articles for publication and even wrote and scheduled the ones from now through January 2026. And through this wonderful community, I gained some additional insights and people to collaborate with. Connections matter more than hype.

**EDIT: if you are putting together a stack like this for a business, make sure that you are using separate business emails, a separate business credit card, and a separate business bank account to purchase these services! You do not want to mix your personal and business, especially if you are building a company that will later scale. It is a prime imperative to set everything up cleanly from the beginning. Please search out my post on security for AI apps and workflows for a deep dive on the reasons why** Disclaimer: I have zero financial interest in any app or service mentioned. If you want AI tools to work together without paying for a dozen separate apps, start with a single automation hub. These platforms connect everything — your email, forms, spreadsheets, CRM, and AI model — under one subscription. Pabbly Connect One-time or very low monthly pricing. Replaces Zapier for most no-code automations. Works with Gmail, Google Sheets, ChatGPT, Notion, Slack, Shopify, and hundreds more. Albato Low cost and lifetime options. Supports thousands of apps, including Google Workspace, Airtable, and OpenAI. Lets you chain steps and create if-then logic without code. N8N Cloud Free to self-host or around twenty dollars per month for the hosted version. Allows unlimited workflows, branching logic, and advanced API calls. It is open source, so you can expand it later. These hubs let you keep using the free tiers of ChatGPT, Google Drive, or Canva while paying for only one connector. Choose one automation hub and build everything inside it instead of paying separate subscriptions for multiple linkers. Once you have a single backbone, you can attach whatever AI or business tools you need and control all your data and automation through one dashboard. LINKING AI TOOLS TO WORK TOGETHER A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL BUSINESSES If you want AI to run parts of your business while you focus on strategy, you need more than one smart app. You need a small network of tools that talk to each other. Here are the core platforms that make this possible, what they do, and how to combine them.

In process improvement, we use a tool called SIPOC to map a process before making any changes. SIPOC stands for Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, and Customers. It provides a structured way to understand what goes into a system, what happens inside it, and what comes out on the other side. When you can see the entire process, the gaps become visible, and improvement becomes possible. The same thinking applies to prompting. Every AI interaction is a process, whether we are aware of it or not. You supply information, the system processes it, and then it produces an output meant for a specific audience. When that process is vague, so are the results. SIPOC provides a straightforward yet practical approach to restoring clarity to the conversation. The Supplier is the human. It is you, your team, or a document providing the context. Without a clear supplier, the AI has no anchor point for understanding what matters most. The Inputs are the facts, data, tone, and structure you feed into the system. The better the inputs, the more accurate the output will be. The Process is the cognitive task you are asking the AI to perform, such as summarizing, analyzing, or creating. The Output is what you expect to receive in return, whether that is a report, an outline, or an executive summary. And finally, the Customer is the person who will use that result. When you consider each of these five parts, your prompt becomes intentional rather than reactive. You move from “make me something” to “here is what I need, why I need it, and who it is for.” That slight shift transforms how AI responds. It creates alignment, precision, and accountability, all of which are impossible without structure. Here is how it looks in practice. Imagine you are summarizing a new company policy for the HR department. You, the analyst, are the Supplier. The Inputs are the policy and a one-page summary request. The Process involves extracting key points and identifying three compliance risks. The Output is a 250-word summary accompanied by a brief risk list. And the Customer is the HR and legal team, who will use your summary to verify compliance. The final prompt practically writes itself:
