Use ChatGPT's 'deep research' feature to find vendors that meet specific criteria (e.g., US-based custom apparel manufacturers). Then use the 'browser use' feature to have the AI draft outreach emails directly in your email client like Superhuman.
Maintain a 'human-in-the-loop' system. Let the AI do the tedious drafting, but always review the emails yourself before clicking send to maintain strategic control.
Instruct OpenAI Codex to build and manage your e-commerce website, using platforms like Vercel and GitHub for hosting and version control. Task the AI with specific engineering jobs like integrating Stripe for payments or adding a database.
If the AI model initially claims it can't do something, be persistent. Sometimes, rephrasing the request or simply insisting is enough to get it to complete the task.
Instead of building and relying on a visual dashboard to track business metrics like customer votes, adopt a more AI-native workflow. Use voice commands to directly ask your AI assistant for the latest data.
Oh, hey, um, how many votes do I have for this thing now?
This shift from visual UIs to conversational interaction makes data retrieval faster and more seamless, truly treating your AI as an integrated business partner.
