6 AI tools to help you scale your business
Don’t skip: How to Use AI to Start a Business in 2024
Namelix: For brand names
We all dream of having the perfect brand name.
A name that when you say it to someone, they will immediately understand what you are about and be excited about what your company offers.
But it’s not easy to come up with such clever brand names.
Sure, you can drop an E and become a super cool and trendy market leading brand, but that very rarely happens *cough cough*.
The AI tool Namelix can help here. By entering a few keywords and clicking “Generate,” you can use artificial intelligence to come up with a short, brandable business name.
Let’s test it with our new hat company.
Here are the keywords I will use:
Hats, snapbacks, vintage, style, trendy.
And this is what we have:
Lots of options, with even more as you scroll down.
My particular favorite? Hattitude.
Looka: For logo generation
Once you’ve decided on your brand name with Namelix, you can start thinking about the corresponding logo. Looka is a great AI logo generation tool that gives you tons of ideas for inspiration.
While some of the results from logo generators are rather general, they can be a great option for a first logo or help you create a mood board of things you like for a logo designer to work with.
Here are some Hattitude examples from Looka in action:
ChatGPT: For content ideas and overcoming writer’s block
Would a list of AI tools even be relevant if it didn’t mention the trigger for everything, ChatGPT? It is this language learning model that all other generative AI tools use as a foundation, and it is what launched the AI movement as a whole.
Although generative AI is a powerful tool, it is important to also understand its limitations. For example, some business owners have relied heavily on ChatGPT’s text generation capabilities, creating full company blog articles and publishing them in the hope that more content will drive more traffic.
However, not only has it been shown that audiences are not engaging with this approach, but since Google’s recent algorithm update, brands that pursued this strategy have also seen significant declines in their rankings and therefore organic traffic.
But that doesn’t mean ChatGPT doesn’t offer some incredible benefits.
Instead of replacing content creation, you can use it to improve your processes and productivity, generate article ideas and outlines for in-depth analysis, and occasionally refer to the tool to answer questions and overcome writer’s block.
When used correctly and sparingly, ChatGPT can be an incredible writing assistant, but not as your primary copywriter.
Unbound: For product images
It doesn’t matter how well you promote a product verbally. If you’re unable to add additional high-quality images, you’ll have a hard time converting website visitors into buyers, especially if those visitors have never purchased from you before and don’t have built-up loyalty to your brand.
With Unbound you can upload your product images and use the tool to edit them and adjust the background to your needs. The tool helps ensure that your product photography meets the same standards as a company with an in-house photo studio.
Replo: For Shopify landing pages
Creating Shopify landing pages can be an incredibly time-consuming process. This is where Replo can help by allowing you to create custom pages to highlight your brand without the costly additional development time that would normally be required.
Chat Fuel: For customer service
Finally, for all your customer service needs, Chat Fuel is a brilliant AI tool that allows you to use a single WhatsApp number all the time to respond to customer queries and questions.
Instead of making teams log in and out, you can all access the number. It even has ChatGPT built-in, so some queries can be resolved without ever having to send a manual response, saving you time and effort in customer service.
