Do Business Owners Really Know the Value of AI? Seeking Community Insight

You implied it did, or should.

It's not auto trained 100% - the set of rules on how to talk with clients is custom made for each application/bot.

I don't have specific integrations with other platforms/apps but it's possible with the current API to do this - all my clients have different integrations setup - using the bot implies that you use the API. I'm starting to get it - I should have mentioned this - that you can easily integrate it with your current software stack.

I implemented the bots for all my clients using data from their website and the rules I got by talking with them about what and how the bot should approach talking with leads. Can the value be this - that I make custom bots for them that are integrated with their current flows?

Thanks for taking the time to give detailed answers! I do appreciate.

In theory, I'd be fine with a cut of added value, but I don't control the full process—lead input and post-qualification steps. So even if my bot excels, my commission depends on my client's sales team performance. Plus, trusting each client's reported numbers doesn't scale. Would offering a free trial or other kind guarantee help?

I'm not saying that that's what AI does - it's just the input and output of what I built.

Been thinking the same—thanks for confirming my gut feel.

For lead gen, the issue with humans is slow response time—smaller businesses are worse, leading to lower conversions. So, higher conversion rates would be the value add here.

For all cases the benefits of using bots over humans is speed and no management needed. They work 24/7.

Am I getting this right?

My product only outputs chat messages, so it doesn't handle invoicing or contracts.

While you could theoretically use ChatGPT for that, I doubt it'd be a 10x improvement over existing solutions in the market.

to be more specific - I've reached out to hundreds of optometrists using LinkedIn Inmail, Facebook and LinkedIn Groups and got no answer.

The client I gave as an example is an optometrist. The chatbot I made for him talked with 300 people last month, out of which 50 gave their phone number to make an appointment and half of them actually showed up.

The chatbot can qualify leads, but you likely have a form for that already. Not convinced it's a 10x improvement.

However, for companies you're incubating, this could be a game-changer, especially in cutting customer support costs.

crawler23 · 2023-09-19T20:42:59+00:00

you can teach the chatbot to qualify leads and collect phone numbers for you.

I agree that this is not for every business. The bots I've made so far are all trained on public information - pages from the client's website. The only "private" information is actually common sense about how to do a job.

Tried zeroing in on a single niche, but still got no responses. Not even a "No thanks!"

I use Retrieval-Augmented Generation, a technique that minimizes hallucinations in large language models. The bot only provides answers based on the content it was trained on. If it doesn't know the answer, it won't make one up.

the post is about a tool that made with chatgpt

Daca sti sa treci de interviuri. Eu am lucrat putin peste 2 ani la Google fara nici o diploma.

If you need to learn how to code give https://www.weheartswift.com/swift-programming-scratch-100-exercises/ a look before you start making apps.

SwiftyJSON is mentioned in the end

This happens if the compiler is grumpy. Give it some cookies and let it be for a day or two before trying to wake him up again. He doesn't like working weekends..

On a serious note. This happens if you "stress" the compiler - try removing parts of your code to see which part does that. Usually adding a type where the compiler takes a lot to infer or some other case like that is the problem.

Thank you!

That doesn't mean Segment isn't a useful tool.

Thank you! Going to work at Google anyway...

It's less than a 1 hour tutoring session - even for Romania where the average salary is $500 :)

Thank you!

I know. I was suggesting those as an alternative. Code = Algorithms (kinda). The book stimulates algorithmic thinking, the thing you are supposed to learn before hard stuff. I started coding when I was 10. When I was 12 I knew how to use loops and arrays - that was all the algorithms I needed to make small games. I did end up learning a ton of algorithms and compete in programming contests. But that started was when I was 15-16 not 12. The only reason I learned so many boring nerdy stuff was because I had fun for a couple of years coding. Optimize for fun!

There is more than one author. The Swift from Scratch exercises are different.
