The Evolution of AI Intelligence in Business

AI Intelligence in Business has come a long way. From its early days of simple rule-based systems to today’s sophisticated machine learning models, AI has significantly evolved. This evolution has enabled businesses to harness the power of AI for various applications, including data analysis, customer service, and strategic decision-making.

Education and Skills in Business Consulting

Understanding the fundamentals of AI Intelligence in Business requires a solid educational background. I graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Commerce in Liberal Studies, majoring in marketing and management. This education has equipped me with the critical thinking skills necessary to navigate the complexities of AI and its applications in business.

The Rise of AI Automation Tools

AI automation tools are transforming digital marketing by streamlining repetitive tasks and enhancing efficiency. One of the most powerful tools available is Make.com, a low-code automation platform that enables users to create sophisticated workflows without extensive programming knowledge.

How Make.com Works

Make.com uses modules to represent each step in an automation workflow. Users can create workflows by connecting these modules, which include triggers (inputs), transformations (processes), and actions (outputs). For example, an automation could start with a Google Form submission, process the data using AI, and then output the results to a Google Doc.

Benefits of AI Automation Tools

Efficiency: Automating routine tasks frees up time for more strategic activities.
Accuracy: AI systems reduce human error, ensuring consistent and accurate results.
Scalability: Automation tools can handle increasing workloads without compromising performance.

Optimizing Content with SEO Content Generation

SEO content generation is crucial for improving search engine rankings and driving organic traffic. AI tools like ChatGPT can generate high-quality content based on specific prompts, ensuring relevance and engagement.

Keyword Optimization

Keywords are the foundation of SEO. Identifying and strategically placing relevant keywords in your content helps search engines understand the topic and improves visibility. For this blog post, we focus on keywords like “AI Intelligence in Business” and “AI Automation Tools.”

AI-Powered Content Generation

AI models like ChatGPT can generate content based on specific prompts, ensuring that the content is relevant and engaging. For instance, by providing a few key details, AI can create a comprehensive blog post, saving time and effort for content creators.

Tools for SEO Optimization

Rank Math SEO: This WordPress plugin helps optimize content by providing real-time suggestions for improving SEO.
Yoast SEO: Another popular plugin, Yoast SEO, offers tools for keyword optimization, readability analysis, and more.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

While AI offers numerous benefits, it’s essential to consider the legal and ethical implications. Issues like copyright infringement and data privacy must be addressed to ensure responsible use of AI.

Copyright Issues with AI

AI models are trained on vast datasets, some of which may include copyrighted material. It’s crucial to ensure that AI-generated content does not violate copyright laws. At Creativus Design, we prioritize using legally obtained data and respect intellectual property rights.

Ethical Use of AI

Ethical considerations include transparency, accountability, and fairness. Businesses must be transparent about their use of AI, ensure that AI systems are accountable for their actions, and strive to eliminate biases in AI algorithms.

Marketing Strategies

Effective marketing strategies combine organic and paid efforts. AI can enhance both approaches by providing valuable insights and automating tasks.

Organic vs. Paid Marketing

Organic Marketing: Involves activities like content creation, social media engagement, and SEO. AI can help identify trending topics, optimize content, and schedule posts.
Paid Marketing: Includes strategies like pay-per-click (PPC) advertising and sponsored content. AI tools can analyze campaign performance and suggest optimizations to improve ROI.

Facebook Ads and Digital Marketing Solutions

Facebook ads are a powerful tool for reaching target audiences. AI can optimize ad targeting, create compelling ad copy, and analyze campaign performance. By leveraging AI, businesses can maximize their digital marketing efforts and achieve better results.

AI Intelligence in Business Consulting

AI Intelligence in Business consulting offers significant advantages. AI systems can analyze large datasets, provide insights, and support decision-making processes. This capability is particularly valuable in strategic planning, market analysis, and customer relationship management.

Transcript

Sure, here’s the revised transcript with improved spelling, grammar, and flow:

[Speaker 1]

Mic check. One, two, three. Welcome to the new episode of “The Well of Randomness.” This is episode one of season one. It’s a reboot because the original files were lost, and we’re starting fresh. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Jeffrey Fazal, Director of Creativus Design.

A jack of all trades, I currently run a marketing agency and a website company. A bit about me: I’ve been in business for about 10 years. Starting from a family business when I was really young, I worked my way up from serving tea and cleaning floors at 14 to managing a marketing and sales team.

Now, I’m sharing my experiences with the world as a business consultant through Creativus Design. As the Director, I offer business consulting for various clients and provide solutions in digital marketing and website design. But this podcast isn’t just about that. It’s also about my interests and hobbies. One of my main interests is technology. I love my gadgets, my phone, my computer, and my video games. My PC is specced out to be a decent gaming computer. I just love everything about technology.

From a young age, I learned a bit about website development. For those of you in the know, I think I was about 14 or 15 when I took my first course in Microsoft FrontPage, a WYSIWYG editor. Back then, it was HTML1, and the web was a lot less complicated. You could literally drag and drop something, generate the code, and it would appear on Google simply because most people didn’t even have websites. That’s where I started.

I didn’t continue down that path because I was a kid at the time. I created the first company website for the family business. Actually, I created two. I had to learn about domains, hosting—everything. So, I know everything from development to deployment, which is quite a big deal because you need a lot of knowledge.

But I didn’t continue in website development. I found marketing somehow and jumped into it. After the website was built, I had to promote it, and that’s how I got into marketing. I went to the University of Sydney and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce in Liberal Studies. This allowed me to do an extra year of Arts, where I learned a variety of things outside of marketing and management, which were my majors. I did everything from psychology to early Jewish history. It was a fun time.

While the content at university didn’t help me much in my working career, it taught me how to think critically. This included researching other papers, seeing how different authors made their theses, conducting their research, and then reading papers that contradicted each other to make my own judgments. That sort of critical thinking is really important in business. You don’t have to go to tertiary education to learn it, but you need to always be aware that you need to dissect everything you come across.

Another important thing about business is you have to be curious and always question things. That’s the best way to accumulate knowledge. If you hire someone for Facebook ads, for example, or give the task to your son, you can’t just hand it off and assume it’s taken care of. While you can technically do that, having an inkling of curiosity might help you determine if Facebook ads are right, or if posting in local marketplaces or other solutions like organic vs. paid ads are better.

Today’s topic, now that you have my background in technology, is artificial intelligence. AI has come a long way and has recently come to the forefront of everyone’s mind, possibly because of ChatGPT. For those of you who don’t know, ChatGPT is a large language model. This means it’s a bunch of complicated algorithms and systems that dissect a huge amount of data. I’m talking terabytes to petabytes.

The GPT-3.5 model itself was trained on a huge dataset, possibly half the internet or even more. Some of that information wasn’t sourced while obeying copyright, leading to legal ramifications. OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT, grabbed everything from the internet, including GitHub code. While a lot of the code is under open licenses, some have specifications like you can’t copy, only distribute, etc. OpenAI has abused access to that and is rightfully facing legal actions. However, it’s really beneficial for us because GPT has been trained to know a little about everything.

What ChatGPT and large language models do through GPTs is generate human-readable text to any query or prompt. It’s amazing because you can ask it anything, and it will emulate that it knows the answer, spitting out something based on the data it’s trained on. But the data can be flawed, and that’s why it’s important to understand that this AI product might have some misinformation.

It’s not new. Google’s AI product, Bard, now known as Gemini, has been in the market and researched for a long time. Google lagged in launching their own product and is constantly rebranding for some reason. Another AI people might be familiar with is Meta AI, released by Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. If you’re a WhatsApp user, you might notice at the top of the search bar, there’s an option where you can type a query and get a response directly. ChatGPT is similar but also has a freemium version. You can sign up without logging in and get up to eight messages, which isn’t a lot compared to free tools like Meta AI.

Meta AI also runs on Lambda 3, which is at least openly distributed. Anyone can download Meta AI, run it on their local computer, and make applications based on it. But that’s a highly complicated process. Now, let’s talk about a platform I’ve gotten into called Make.com. There will be an affiliate link in the description, so feel free to explore it. It has a free version, which is really good, offering up to two automations.

By the way, everything I’ve said so far is uncut, straight from my mind, so sorry if it’s a bit jumbled. Now, I’m working off a script I’ve devised. It’s not a word-for-word script. I could get AI to write it down for me, but then you wouldn’t get that genuine feel. This script is just a simple A4 page outlining my automations. I have about five automations running, requiring a paid package.

Let’s get into what makes AI automation or AI bots. Disclaimer: Make.com is a low-code solution, meaning anyone can use it. It’s similar to Zapier but more cost-effective. If you want an even cheaper option, there’s something called n8n, but it’s more complicated to use because you have to self-host it or get used to the process.

Imagine you have a blank canvas. In coding, you write line by line, debug, troubleshoot, and test. It’s laborious. Low-code solutions let non-developers emulate that. On Make.com, every module represents a step in the automation where something happens. I’ll describe my first automation used for testing others.

You choose an input, a transformation, and an output. For input, I use Google Forms. I write something in the form and submit it. The automation checks if the form has been submitted, triggering the rest. The transformation part is interesting because it involves ChatGPT. OpenAI has an API that allows you to interact with ChatGPT models.

For example, my form might have three fields: tone of voice, content, and image. OpenAI will take that and write a 1500-word blog using the image. The final step is the output, which is Google Docs. Google Docs picks up the content from OpenAI and the image from Google Forms, creating a draft of the blog. This is the easiest way to test without complexities.

Now, let’s describe a larger automation: a prompt-to-blog automation. It generates blogs automatically at set intervals. If you visit makeai.com, you’ll see about 10 blogs published, created automatically every day without any effort from me. This shows the potential of automations.

In our setup, after generating a draft, it analyzes keywords, chooses a primary keyword, generates a blog title, optimizes it, creates an image, formats the blog in HTML, generates a unique slug, creates a description, and inputs everything into WordPress. The theme focuses on content, and we ensure each blog has at least an 80 optimization score on Rank Math or Yoast, indicating good SEO content.

There’s controversy about using AI to generate content and whether it ranks. Google initially disregarded AI content, but now it’s treated neutrally as long as it follows search guidelines like E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). This approach ensures content meets SEO standards.

For Creativus Design and our clients, we use a different workflow. Before publishing on WordPress, it goes through a drafting process. The content is loaded on WordPress but remains in draft until reviewed manually. An email notification is sent to the person responsible for publishing. This ensures quality control and allows adding outbound and internal links, crucial for technical SEO.

That’s Make.com in a nutshell, with various automations we use to generate content. I hope you’ve enjoyed this podcast, and I’ll see you in the next episode. Thank you. Creativus Design, signing off.
