Want to save money, save time, be better at content creation, and be a better boss? Who doesn’t? Today, I’m joined by my friend Kinsey Soderberg, owner of Feel Good Social and Authentic AI, and we’re digging into all the different ways you can use AI to make your life easier. She sheds light on how she has been working to find a healthy balance with using AI tools that allows for better productivity without sacrificing quality or authenticity.

AI for Entrepreneurs

AI for Content Planning and Wholesale Buying

For product-based businesses, planning marketing strategies around collections is crucial. AI can help identify your ideal customer, understand their pain points, and recommend collections that solve their problems. Imagine you’re a boutique owner heading to market—AI can help forecast what collections will resonate with your audience six months from now. By feeding it prompts that consider seasonal trends and customer behaviors, you can generate an entire content calendar and buying plan in advance.

AI doesn’t just help with long-term planning—it can also streamline campaign strategies for product launches and seasonal sales. By organizing your ideas into structured marketing plans, AI transforms scattered thoughts into actionable steps.

Customizing AI for Your Personal Work Style

One of the lesser-known advantages of AI tools is their ability to align with your personal workflow. If you tell AI your energy levels throughout the day, it can help you optimize your schedule. Love astrology, human design, or the Enneagram? AI can even integrate personality-based insights into your planning. For example, if you’re a morning person who works best in focused sprints, AI can suggest a content creation schedule that maximizes your peak productivity hours.

AI for Team Management and Communication

AI isn’t just for solo entrepreneurs—it’s a powerful tool for managing teams. From crafting job descriptions to developing interview questions, AI can streamline hiring and training processes.

A particularly insightful use of AI is integrating personality test results into team management. Many businesses already use tools like the Enneagram or human design to better understand their employees. By analyzing these personality insights, AI can suggest customized strategies for communication, motivation, and productivity, helping managers lead their teams more effectively.

One of the most overlooked aspects of AI in the workplace is training employees on how to use it. Simply handing your team access to AI tools isn’t enough. Setting clear guidelines—what AI should and shouldn’t be used for—ensures consistency in brand voice and accuracy in content. Additionally, reminding employees to fact-check AI-generated content before publishing is essential for maintaining quality.

AI Tools Beyond ChatGPT

While ChatGPT is a game-changer, it’s not the only AI tool worth using. Descript is a fantastic resource for video editing, allowing users to edit videos as if they were editing a Google Doc. Its AI features make podcast editing, course creation, and social media content production much easier.

However, with the rise of AI tools comes the temptation to sign up for too many, leading to overwhelm rather than productivity. Setting boundaries with AI is crucial—focus on tools that genuinely improve efficiency rather than getting lost in an endless cycle of new subscriptions. The goal of AI isn’t to replace creativity but to enhance productivity.

Final Thoughts: AI as a Strategic Partner

The real power of AI lies in how you use it. Whether you’re planning a year’s worth of content, structuring wholesale buying strategies, or improving team communication, AI can be an invaluable assistant. The trick is knowing what to ask, setting clear guidelines, and using AI to enhance rather than replace human intuition.

By leveraging AI as a strategic tool, business owners can stay ahead of trends, optimize their workflow, and create stronger connections with their teams—all while maintaining a brand voice that feels authentic and engaging.
