If you’re a business owner with scrolling thumbs, you probably know that AI has recently taken over the business world to help you with everything from video editing to blog writing.
If you, like me, are wondering how the future of AI will affect our businesses, you’ve come to the right place!
Jasmine Star is the CEO and founder of Social Curator: an app that provides fully customized content for your specific business, in your specific industry, in your exact voice in less than 1 minute.
Recently, Jasmine and her team have made massive changes to Social Curator by using artificial intelligence to write captions for you.
In this episode, we chat about how AI can help you grow your business AND save time, where she thinks the AI is going, and what these tools mean for business owners!
I can’t wait for you to hear her insights about the future of AI and how to get better results when using these tools, so keep reading (or click play above!) to stop using ChatGPT wrong!
The Elephant in the Room: Should We Fear AI?
According to Jasmine, there are two main camps when it comes to AI: those who see it as an amazing tool that can simplify our lives and transform the way we do business, and those who are terrified of its potential negative consequences.
When speaking with her, I asked Jasmine how entrepreneurs can utilize it to further their businesses, and she acknowledged that both perspectives are valid, but she believes that AI itself is not inherently good or bad.
Instead, it’s the people who have control over AI that determine its use and potential for harm.
Jasmine emphasizes the importance of training AI models to reflect the goodness of humans and the middle ground that most people identify with. She even compared AI to a pit bull, which can be trained to be either aggressive or loving (which I totally agree with)!
She also highlighted the opportunity that AI presents for underrepresented groups, such as people of color and women, to have a seat at the table. She encourages these groups to embrace and shape AI technology as a means to give a voice to themselves, which I LOVE!
Jasmine’s Experience with AI
As an entrepreneur, it’s crucial to pay attention to emerging trends and be open to change. Following this principle, Jasmine started making changes to her platform Social Curator when she realized that AI could streamline and automate certain aspects of her business.
Social Curator provides marketing resources for small business owners, including visuals, caption templates, and training. However, Jasmine recognized that the traditional model of asking customers to do the work themselves was not the most effective or sustainable approach.
Instead, she pivoted her business to offer a more hands-on experience, where the work is done FOR the customers… by AI. (How cool is that?!)
AI Helps Entrepreneurs Ask Better Questions
AI has become a valuable tool for entrepreneurs, helping them ask better questions and make more informed decisions. In our conversation, Jasmine explains that AI provides an opportunity to train a model on every person’s business, giving them a customized output.
In fact, Jasmine says most people are using tools like Social Curator and ChatGPT wrong… because they don’t know the right question to ask.
Many entrepreneurs may not be familiar with these technologies or may struggle to articulate their needs effectively. However, Jasmine and her team realized that they could use AI to provide prompts or questions that would guide entrepreneurs in obtaining the desired output!
When using ANY Artificial Intelligence technology, it’s important to remember this golden rule: the more specific the input, the better the outcome will be.
For example, if a photographer specifies that they specialize in wedding photography for elopements, Dottie, ChatGPT, or any other AI technology can provide more relevant and accurate responses when you ask them to write newsletters, social media captions, blog posts, and more.
Jasmine and I challenge you to try this the next time you open ChatGPT, and see how much better your responses will be!
Social Curator’s Social Media Caption Formula
Every time an entrepreneur uses the Social Curator platform to ask Dottie to write a social media caption, they follow Jasmine’s “HIC” caption formula:
- Hook: This is the attention-grabbing element that entices the audience to continue reading or watching. It could be a thought-provoking question or a captivating statement. By starting with a strong hook, entrepreneurs can capture their audience’s attention and encourage them to engage further.
- Insights: Next, insights are valuable information or knowledge that the entrepreneur shares with their audience. This could be tips, advice, or industry insights that provide value to the audience. By offering valuable insights, entrepreneurs can position themselves as experts in their field and build trust with their audience.
- Call to action: Finally, this prompts the audience to take a specific action. It could be asking them to comment, share, or visit a website. By including a clear call to action, entrepreneurs can encourage their audience to engage and interact with their content.
Whether you’re using AI or doing the writing yourself, try out the HIC formula for your next caption and see how it significantly increases your engagement!
