I want to thank you for subscribing, and now reading, my newsletter! I would be grateful if you would click on a link (any link will do). This tells Gmail and other programs that my emails are not spam. FYI - none of my links are affiliate links.
If you use any new AI tool and have an opinion about it (good or bad), please let me know by replying to this email.
1. Use AI to Get Sentiment About Anything
As a business owner or investor, it’s great to get the general population’s sentiment about your business, a competitor. a stock, etc. There are tools out there to do it but some are pain to use. Others only work on one platform (e.g., Facebook, X, etc.). Now there’s an even easier way to do it with Social Listening Specialist GPT.
Just type in the keyword, hashtag, or competitor and it will analyze conversations around the input and give you the sentiment. Works on X, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. Here’s what I typed in (I’m gonna be rich!):
I think this is a great use of ChatGPT since it’s a language model and this is focused purely on analyzing language. It can do it faster and more efficiently than any human and better than any script could do.
Opportunity: I think real-time sentiment analysis and monitoring could be a viable business - especially if you can show it leads stock prices.
2. Organize Your Web Info
I often find articles, but save them to read later. Ditto for videos. Sometimes my queue of videos and articles can get pretty big and I end up deleting lots of them. Latefly, I’ve been using MyMind to do this and I really like it. I can save anything there include tweets, images, links, etc. - and then search them later.
But there’s a new contender in town and it’s called MyMemo. What I like about it is that when I save something, it will analyze and summarize it. So if you see a 2 hour video, you can save the link there, get the summary, and then decide if it’s worth watching. Perhaps the summary is enough. If I do watch the video, the summary stays in my account to refresh my memory later. I only just started using it, but really like it so far. Includes a free tier so give it a try.
3. Automated Workflows
Workflows are processes created to automate a task and obviously can save you and your team a lot of time. However, creating workflows can be a pain.
Lutra provides dozens of pre-made workflows and also allows you to easily create new ones. One workflow (Profile Finder) searches LinkedIn for provides matching a specified role and stores the data in a Google Spreadsheet.
Another workflow (Draft Personalized Sales Outreach Email), gets the person’s professional background from the LinkedIn profile URL, and modifies an email template (that you provide) to provide a personalized email pitch.
4. Your AI Language Tutor
Who hasn’t wanted to learn a language at one time or another? I know I have. And there are lots of apps and websites that will teach you (Duolingo). However, they are mostly text-based so you are typing in your inputs. Most aren’t great at helping you learn how to pronounce the words in your new language.
Speak is different. It gets you speaking the language out loud to learn the language. And it uses AI to correct you when you don’t pronounce the words correctly.
