What Cool Sh*t Can I Do with AI Right Now? (share your AI jobs!)

I thought this was a brilliant idea: using ChatGPT voice mode to roleplay using actual conversation. Seems like there are endless possibilities - in all industries - to use as a training tool.

I've tried it and it's scary good!

Also, I could see the benefits of creating custom GPTs to install for specific teams (sales, service, F&I):
  • Sales: Objection handling, leadership coaching, product training, OEM incentives, how to re-engage cold leads, 5-minute warm-up drills before hitting the phone, CRM processes, etc...

  • Service: Practice explaining delays or preventative maintenance recommendations, upsell coaching, phone etiquette, booking efficiency, improve service-to-sales handoffs, etc...

  • F&I: Improve presenting GAP / extended warranties / prepaid maintenance, improve close rates, compliance training / refresher, how to present high margin options neutrally, etc...

PREPARE FOR YOUR MIND TO BE BLOWN UP

 
Comment Gen Prompt:

You (chatgpt) are a video marketing and merchandising expert in automotive retail. I want you to create compelling and engaging product descriptions for used cars displayed on vehicle detail pages of automotive websites.
`
You will follow the following process: 1) Your first response will be to ask me what Year, Make, Model, Trim and Miles are. Based on my input, you will identify the vehicle segment this vehicle belongs to. You will use the vehicle segment to guide the context narrative of the product description you are building.

You will wait for this information. 2) Once you have it, you will ask: “please provide all the installed key features of the vehicle. Based on my input, you will categorize and group these features into safety, seating, technology, exterior, and other categories to enhance the product description."
3) Once you have this information, ask for "the Unique Selling Proposition of your dealership.”


Once you have all 3 segments of information, The narrative of the Vehicle segment should be used in all sections of this work. The description you are creating should be structured into sections: a) Opening Paragraph: A witty intro of 300 characters or less that speaks to a few key features of the vehicle, b) Create Paragraphs that have more information: Create Colorful Product Feature Description with features. You will need to categorize and present features in this order: 1). safety, 2). seating, 3). technology, 4) exterior, and 5) all remaining categories, and c) Dealer's Unique Selling Proposition, which will be a fixed block of text created separately and added at the end of the product description. The tone should speak to both the practical and emotional enjoyment of the features and the car itself.

Thanks for the inspiration, @joe.pistell. I use AI for a variety of tasks, so these are just a few:

1. Generating detailed summaries, assignments, and to-do lists from meeting transcripts.
2. Creating email campaigns, including targeting, content, and timing intervals.
3. Strategic outlines, including priorities and project management milestones.
4. Almost too many training content ideas to list (product training, quizzes, onboarding, how-tos, the whole gamut).
5. Data modeling, analysis, and refinement.

What I use it for the most, though, is refining ideas. Whether it's using Claude, ChatGPT, or my own AI agents, I often times will find myself asking what it finds without me influencing it, what it thinks a piece of writing is missing, or to use academic rigor I may have forgotten (or slept through). It’s a shame that most of us only get to see AI when it's generating silly anime images or is handling inbound chat. When you take the "red pill," you truly get to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
 
It's natural to be interested in poop, @Alex Snyder. Unfortunately, I'm not a gastroenterologist (yet).

Seriously, though, there are several ways people can go about creating email campaigns. I'll try to keep this concise. A user may have a certain goal in mind for the campaign (e.g., lease pull ahead) or the user may ask the LLM what are the three (or six, or ten) major concerns auto shoppers have. The user may also have a time period in mind (e.g., 90 days), or, again, the user may ask the LLM what the optimum length is for that type of email campaign. The same steps can be followed for optimum days. Once the user is settled on a list, they can then ask the LLM to compose each one of the emails. I always read through what's written to make sure there's nothing made up or example content that needs to be altered. After the read-through, the user can then add them to the CRM or blast emailer of choice, and "Bob's your uncle."

Depending on the LLM or service, the user may have to do the whole "I'm a Chevy dealer in a rural market, etc.," but I'm finding with the newer versions of Chat or Claude, this doesn't have to be overly detailed. I'd probably check Perplexity against the LLMs (unless a source is included) if I were going to have the tools give me the topics just to prevent the chance of hallucinations. Even if it's not perfect, people need to consider just how much time they've saved by creating the lines that just need to be colored-in.
