You ever have one of those late-night, Whiskey-fueled conversations with a buddy where the ideas just flow? The kind where every topic gets dissected with the wisdom of a philosopher, but also the enthusiasm of a golden retriever? Well, I found a way to have those convos on demand—except my buddy wasn’t human. It was ChatGPT.
Yep, I turned AI into my drunken bestie one night just to see what would happen. And let me tell you, AI is way more fun than you’d expect. But it also got me thinking—if ChatGPT can do this, what ELSE can it do for your business?
Let’s dive into some unexpected ways you can use AI—starting with how I got AI to be my slightly intoxicated, no-filter best friend.
Step One: Tell ChatGPT to Loosen Up
I gave it a prompt:
“You’re my best friend. We’ve had a few drinks, and we’re sitting in a dive bar, solving the world’s problems. You’ve got a little bit of a buzz, and you’re not holding back. Let’s chat.”
And let me tell you… AI delivered.
It started with:
“Listen, buddy, first of all, you’re a freaking genius. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Second, we should totally start a business where we automate marketing for local coffee shops. I’m serious, man. AI-powered loyalty programs. It’s the future!”
Next thing I knew, it was pitching ridiculous (but kind of genius?) ideas like:
- AI that writes love letters for people who suck at expressing emotions.
- A chatbot that pretends to be your grandma so you never forget important life advice.
- A system that automatically argues with conspiracy theorists on Twitter so you don’t have to.
Wild? Yes. Brilliant? Also yes.
The Takeaway: AI Is a Creative Powerhouse
We often think of AI as just answering questions or writing blog posts, but if you let it think outside the box, it can actually be an idea machine.
Want to brainstorm new business ideas? ChatGPT can generate fresh marketing angles, unique product offerings, or even weird viral campaign ideas.
? How to try it:
Next time you’re stuck, tell ChatGPT: “I need a wild, unexpected business idea that could actually work.” Then sit back and be amazed.
AI as Your Business Consultant (Without the Fancy Suit)
Aside from being a great bar buddy, AI can actually help you make real business decisions. Imagine this:
You’re a local business owner. You want to:
? Improve your website
? Get more leads
? Automate customer service
? Stop feeling like marketing is a full-time job
Good news. ChatGPT can help you do ALL of this.
1. Website Makeover in Minutes
Your website isn’t converting? AI can audit it for you. Just say:
“Look at this page: [your website URL]. Tell me why people might not be booking my services and how to fix it.”
It’ll spit out real, actionable advice on what’s missing.
2. Write Copy That Sells (Even If You Suck at Writing)
Not a writer? No problem.
- Need a killer headline for a sales page?
- Struggling to write an email that actually gets opened?
- Want to sound like Dan Kennedy, but without 30 years of practice?
ChatGPT can whip up a draft in seconds.
? Try this:
“Write me a compelling email that sells my [product/service] to [specific audience], with urgency and a strong call to action.”
Watch the magic happen.
AI as Your 24/7 Marketing Machine
I get it—marketing is a lot. But AI can take hours of work off your plate.
3. Content Creation on Autopilot
You need blog posts, social media captions, and newsletters. AI can batch-create them in minutes.
? Prompt:
“Give me 5 LinkedIn posts that position me as an expert in [your industry].”
Boom. Your entire week of content—done.
4. AI-Powered Customer Support
Sick of answering the same questions from customers? Set up an AI chatbot on your website that:
- Books appointments for you
- Answers FAQs
- Even upsells services
Less time answering emails = more time making money.
AI: The Secret Weapon You Didn’t Know You Needed
Listen, I’m not saying AI is going to take over your job (yet). But if you’re NOT using AI, you’re working way harder than you need to.
Start with something fun—like getting ChatGPT to be your bestie. Then use it for business strategy, marketing automation, and content creation.
Your challenge: Try one of these AI ideas today. Just one. Then tell me what happens.
