KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. AI Is Not Going Away: It will not take over humans, but businesses who don't embrace it will be replaced. Use AI to do the tasks it is good at, then redirect your team’s time and energy into tasks that directly grow and improve your business.

2. You Need AI-Friendly SEO: Search engines now provide AI generated answers for most searches. You need to change your SEO approach to appear in the AI generated search results, so people can easily find you.

3. Don´t Use AI In a Lazy Way: teach your AI about your brand, the way you think and speak and learn to ask the right questions to produce accurate and useful results. Used correctly, AI enables you to think more deeply and broadly.

4. AI Is Very Affordable: you can do a huge amount of work with a very low-cost monthly subscription, e.g. just $20 per month.

5. Don´t Be Daunted : you do not have to be at all tech savvy to start using AI. If you can talk to a human, you can talk to AI. If you are unsure, still sign up and have a go. It´s super easy to find how to AI guides online.

BEST MOMENTS

Kevin: "Look at your business and see where the bottlenecks are, the things that you're struggling with, the things that could be automated."

Kevin: "If you can talk to a human, you can talk to Chat GPT. Don't think of it as a piece of technology. Think about it as your super-intelligent intern."

Ildikó: "Over time, I genuinely feel that it (AI) is helping me shape my business."

Kevin: "So what it can't do today, it will be able to do tomorrow.”

Kevin: "We can embrace it and use it and stay in control of it."
