More time and resources to focus on building the business

We all hear about people just creating stuff with AI, pictures, text, etc… but the real value for business is its ability to automate process to make business more efficient. AI in combination with automation is powerful. Simple example: writing a query response email with the help of ChatGPT vs. a system that pulls in needed information and writes all emails for that answer all queries. The latter is where businesses can benefit from speed and scale of efficiency.

No new, sophisticated, expensive tech is needed.
