I see a lot of mentions about the AI programs and companies utilizing them. I’m curious to hear what a service based business/industrial contracting may be able to use it for. I have used it and can see how powerful it is, I’d like to understand how I could use it for my business. We work off of repeat business normally. Any tips?

    I’m in professional services now as a consultant, but come from a service based industry adjacent to the trades and construction / development.

    My progression with several AI tools since last year has been;

    Quickly accomplishing administrative tasks (writing proposals, email responses, presentation talking points, solutions research, process research, market research, text message responses, etc)

    large format and detailed SOP’s, manuals, custom dashboards for data analysis, actual analysis of data, automation opportunities, project estimation, project scope detailing, real time operational adjustments (weekly, monthly, quarterly)

    training local AI model with every document and correspondence I’ve sent over the last two decades related to my industry with our industry guideline texts and authorities to create a thinking and working copy of my own self to duplicate my own style of operating for quicker execution on tasks (ex. “I have X type of project at X type of property for X type of client with X parties involved - create essential scope of work. Next select 5 trade partners for each item in scope, etc etc)

    Lots of benefits, still requires lots of work. I won’t say it saves time, but it swaps out what time is spent on to more meaningful tasks which has big benefit.
