Which AI Tools Can Be Helpful to a Small Business? - May Edition
Brews for Thought
April was an exciting month for us at Brewster Consulting Group. We’ve brought on several new partners in the Healthcare, Technology, and Manufacturing space. We also welcomed an intern to the team. Welcome Josh!
As we look into May, we are very excited to launch a series of educational webinars. Our COO Tim Lee is leading this effort, and we’re excited to teach and train businesses how to more effectively use their data. You can find more information here.
One of the most interesting developments in the business world right now is the rapid advancement of AI. We recently spoke with a Credit Union who is putting together a committee to evaluate the use of AI in their organization. Chat-GPT has garnered all the headlines, but there are new AI tools coming out on a daily basis that provide real value to organizations who are looking to streamline their efficiencies.
I could write many words on this topic, but I would start by pointing to Futurepedia.io to learn more. This is an excellent repository of new AI tools, and if you’re trying to evaluate how your organization can use this technology, it’s a great place to see what’s out there.
I would caution people on one thing. You shouldn’t use AI just for the sake of using AI. It’s an investment, so make sure that you clearly develop your usage cases and find solutions that will drive legitimate value for your organization. We are always happy to have a conversation around this if you need some guidance.
As we look forward into May, I’m excited to see how the AI topic continues to evolve. In my opinion, there will be a drastic shakeup in how some tasks are completed across organizations, and the early adopters will develop a significant competitive advantage.
