10 ways AI can help your small business
You don't need a big team to get help with the busywork. Here are ten everyday jobs Blackhole AI can take off your plate, with example requests you can copy.
Talking to customers
- 1. Reply to emails and messages: "Write a friendly reply to this customer who got the wrong order."
- 2. Answer common questions: "Write clear answers to the 5 questions customers ask us most."
- 3. Handle reviews: "Help me reply politely to this 2-star review."
Selling and marketing
- 4. Product descriptions: "Write a short description for these handmade candles."
- 5. Social posts: "Give me a week of Instagram captions for our bakery."
- 6. Flyers and signs: "Write the words for a flyer for our summer sale."
Running the business
- 7. Planning: "Help me plan my week: here's everything I need to do."
- 8. Simple maths: "If I raise my prices by 10%, how much more do I make on 200 orders?"
- 9. Explaining things: "Explain what a profit margin is in simple words."
Getting online
- 10. A website: describe your business to the Website Designer, or start from the Local business template, and publish it free the same day.
A few good habits
- Check facts, prices and anything legal before you send it.
- Don't paste customers' card numbers or passwords into any AI chat.
- Keep your own voice: ask it to "sound like a friendly local shop".
