I want to thank you for subscribing, and now reading, my newsletter! It would help me out if you would click on a link (any link will do). This tells Gmail and other programs that we are not spam. FYI - none of my links are affiliate links.

1. A Photo of You Anywhere (and with Abs)

I’ve previously written about some AI apps that will modify photos for you (e.g., look younger, get a smaller nose, change your hairstyle, etc.) and others that will create the perfect headshot of you for business. However, there appears to be a new sheriff in town.

You upload a few photos to Photo AI and it will create new photos of you in any pose, place, or action. You can create naughty Halloween photos, old money photos, yearbook photos, etc. You can use it to try on clothing. Once created you can even edit the photos to remove or modify things you don’t like. And yes guys, it appears to have the capability to give you abs.

These types of apps continue to evolve providing more and more capabilities. Soon the only limitation will be your imagination and they will include high-level video capabilities (where you star in a movie as the action hero). Are you going to be Rambo, Captain Marvel, or the Hulk? Fun times.

2. Your AI Sleep Coach

Poor sleep can affect every aspect of your life including your quality of life, your health, and even your relationships. So, if you are having problems, you need to handle it.

Emma Up is a hyper-personalized sleep program crafted by Oxford sleep specialists and provides a scientifically grounded path to better sleep. Definitely worth a try if you are having sleep issues.

3. Answer that Phone

Ahh, the bane of small businesses everywhere…. answering the phone. Not answering the phone also makes for a terrible first impression on the potential customer. Yet, so many small businesses just fail to consistently answer the phone.

Well, it’s getting easier and easier to make sure all your calls are answered - especially with AI. Simple Phones will answer all your calls (or only calls that your live receptionist doesn't answer).  

Not only can it book meetings and fulfill basic requests, but you can also add your website or FAQ to the AI so it can answer questions. It can route calls to different numbers and can send texts, emails, or webhooks to team members based on customer needs

It can also perform outbound calling to follow up with customers, nurture leads, and make cold calls. You can choose from a variety of languages and accents as well.

I called their test number and it sounded like a standard computerized interactive voice system (e.g., press 2 for customer support) although it obviously has more capabilities. With that said, I think these systems will get better and better so why not familiarize yourself with them now?

4. AI Interviewer

No other way to say it. Hiring is a pain. Combing through resumes and then slogging through interviews. Now AI can handle that first interview.

Talently.ai will conduct live, conversational interviews and provide real-time evaluations of candidates by providing detailed candidate scoring. While you’ll want some person to eventually interview the good candidates, this could provide a great screening interview to eliminate poor candidates. Start for free.
