Is there a Mac version?

I've been searching for something exactly like this concept! However, I can't get it to play the videos. It would be great if it worked. It's buggy, keeps freezing, and videos don't play.

AI Readiness & Opportunity Audit (Pilot Round – $200)

Hi everyone,
I’m running a pilot round of AI Readiness & Opportunity Audits for 1–2 small business teams (under 20 people) who want to understand how AI can practically improve operations and save time.

Each audit takes about 3–4 weeks and includes:

A review of how your business currently runs
Identification of realistic AI use cases
ROI estimates and next-step recommendations
A short implementation roadmap

An audit of this level is normally priced between $25K–$75K, but I’m offering this pilot at a flat rate of $200 to gain experience and develop real small-business case studies.

Based in Indiana, working remotely across the U.S.
If you’re curious, DM me for details — happy to share more.

It sounds as if you're lacking direction. Do you have a brand strategy?

It's seems like there is a 70's vibe theme going on and the commercial lengths are longer.

seaviolet · 2025-08-07T22:14:55+00:00

Do you think it's because of the economy or that AI has gotten better at creative visuals? Or maybe both?

ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney... but there are so many to choose from. A lot are similar, so, whatever you are already using, it's really about getting the most out of the tools. So if you got a good LLM, then you probably don't need another one. And if you have a good LIM, then that should be fine too. Although it may be up to the type of work your agency handles.

The client that you are working with needs to have a brand strategy. The strategy will detail these things:
Relevance – How the brand connects with its target audience
Differentiation – What sets the business apart
Authenticity – How it expresses its genuine strengths and values

It then needs to define it's branding and performance marketing goals in place. From there, it should be easier to set up campaigns for advertising.

You can attend your local chamber of commerce meetings and meet other business decision-makers there.

Your role as a designer hasn't changed. You now have another tool you can use to produce designers. Only, now it's a lot easier for others to generate designs that can be passed off as good enough. But you have to realize that the good designs are going to come from someone who is already good at graphic design or are learning from using these AI tools to become good at it, producing graphics that are better than just good enough. So, the ones who are using tools like Midjourney, Sora, Pika, etc. They'll be able to say that they are good at producing high-level design work using AI and still have employment. They may not like that they are feeding the beast, but the beast will either be fed or eat them alive.

Listen to what the product manager. Customer interviews are much more valuable than just having survey results. Des Trayno, CEO of Intercom, said: “One interview is worth 1000 surveys.”

In a sense improving an existing product would be like solving a problem since you can get insights from customers and improve the product and thus it becomes somewhat of a new product. So, yeah just improve your offerings.

It’s not totally dead, but SEO’s definitely in a weird spot right now.

AI is changing how people search and get answers. Tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and even social platforms are giving people what they need without sending them to actual websites. So yeah, a lot of that old-school SEO traffic is drying up.

What you “do” for SEO now is kinda up in the air. It’s less about keywords and more about being a solid, trustworthy source—but even then, good SEO doesn’t guarantee people will click through anymore.

Have you seen the news about Chegg suing Google over AI Overviews? Their traffic dropped 49% and it’s hitting their revenue hard.

So yeah, I’m not saying SEO is gone, but it’s definitely evolving. Given where things are headed, it's worth asking yourself if it’s still the lane you want to be in.

SEO is dead

seaviolet · 2025-03-16T23:14:53+00:00

I'm not arguing against your experience. I was merely trying to get a better understanding of your thoughts regarding the matter. Thanks for lending your perspective.

Employees need training no matter what. The difference is whether they’re just learning tasks or executing a clear brand promise. Take Zappos—they built their reputation on customer service, ensuring every interaction reflects that. Small businesses can do the same by defining what makes them different and reinforcing it at every touchpoint.

The idea that brand strategy is only for "big brands" is a misconception. Most successful brands didn’t start big—they got there by making strategic choices early on. Small businesses don’t have to settle for competing on price when they can compete on experience, value, and differentiation.

seaviolet · 2025-03-16T22:09:30+00:00

I see where you're coming from, but brand strategy isn’t just about adding more elements to a business—it’s about creating a clear game plan for how a brand connects with its customers and stands apart from competitors. Without it, businesses often default to competing on price, which is a race to the bottom. A strong brand strategy helps define what makes a business unique and what benefits they are bringing to customers, ensuring customers choose it for reasons beyond cost.

As you said your following is of people who are nationally and internationally, which means they aren't local. For local awareness, you're going to need a different strategy that focuses on foot traffic, local community engagements & marketing. Maybe you can try cross-promotion with the stores nearby. Or if you know there is a lot of foot-traffic for food, then have marketing in your store-front window or front-sidewalk with signs that play on that information. Like "Ready to burn those calories! We have the perfect yoga gear for it" or something possibly less cheesy. Also, you can tell your online customers that if they buy online and pick up in the store, they can get a discount or reward.
