AI isn’t the future—it’s the quiet engine already humming in the most profitable corners of your business.
This week, pick one of these mind-numbing chores, spend half an hour setting it loose, and watch the hours (and dollars) pile up.
- Inbox triage Tool: free Gmail plus a two-line prompt. Newsletters auto-archive, leads glow red, replies draft themselves while you sleep.
2.Meeting prep: Feed last quarter’s call notes and CRM dump into a local LLM.
Five minutes before Zoom you get a cheat-sheet: objections they raised, pricing history, upsell angles they already nodded at.
3. Quote / proposal writing: Template + product catalogue + client brief → AI spits out a polished PDF in brand colours.
Forty-five minutes saved per quote, six quotes a week, do the math.
4. Job-posting spam-filter: Auto-screen résumés against must-have skills; top five drop into Slack. Cut eighty percent of reading time and never miss the unicorn.
5. Social content gold-mining: Record a three-minute voice note → AI transcribes, chops into five posts, adds hashtags, schedules the week. Consistency without the creative hangover.
6. Support ticket first responder: Knowledge-base plus a 30-70B local model answers tier-1 questions, tags urgency, escalates only when needed.
Customers get instant help; your team sticks to the tricky stuff.
7. End-of-day numbers: Google Sheets → AI emails you a three-bullet summary: cash in, burn, tomorrow’s priorities. No more midnight spreadsheet scrolling.
Start small, win fast.
Pick the task you hate most, ship it this afternoon, and you’ll free five to ten hours this month—every month—at essentially zero marginal cost.
