I operate a pest control company and I have used AI a few ways already. I used it to create a logo of what I wanted, I use it to ID insects if it happens to be something I am not familiar with and I have used it to study on biology of rodents or insects. I don't use it everyday but when I need it its like having a genius best friend in your pocket!

Those are great ways to leverage AI! And I love that, a "genius best friend in your pocket." Thanks for sharing! :)

I've used it a little within my flooring business. I've created logos and marketing materials. And every now and then I'll look into installation steps and best practices of I don't know how to do something. I'd love to get into it more and how it can help me from the bookkeeping, estimate and Invoicing side of things.

I use AI to give clients an image of what a completed job might look like. For example a screened in porch or an interior barn door. They really like to see that. And it builds trust by helping them visualize what it will look like.

I use A.I. to help fix all of my backend issues with marketing (i.e., SEO, phone numbers not matching, making sure everything is all the same information in the same place). I have it build me training programs for new employees and all of my employees out in the field. They use either Claude or ChatGPT to help solve problems and troubleshoot issues. I also use it to help do all my calculations for the quantities of material I need for projects. I use it for content creation, as in captions and what types of photo shoots to do or what type of videos.

I use AI for:
Research and learning
Writing emails and proposals
Business planning
Marketing content
Analyzing opportunities and costs
It's like having a second set of eyes that helps me work faster and make better decisions.
