What do you do if your boss or client doesn't understand the value of AI (or are worried about using it)?
- Do the task they're interested in — to a reasonable quality, similar to that of someone with a few years of relevant experience
- Do the task consistently, safely and not create new problems — like making up facts or being wrong
- Do the task quickly and cost-effectively — it can't cost the earth
- Drive genuine productivity improvements in their teams — by removing basic tasks from people's jobs and letting them work on harder, more impactful problems
With those points in mind, you need to:
- Choose the task you think AI can have a large impact on, e.g. drafting social media posts or responding to customer support requests.
- Create a simple PoC, using a No-Code app builder or Zapier. Think about the inputs required, e.g. a customer support email. Think about what's needed by the AI to complete the task, e.g. your help docs, or customer support FAQs.
- Simulate 5-10 examples of this task, where the output is created by AI, e.g. using ChatGPT or your AI PoC to draft email responses to 5 real customer support queries.
- Show a comparison of the results: output, quality score, time taken, $ saved.
- Show your findings, but set expectations that it won't be perfect or ready to launch. If you can show measurable results from a PoC that took a few hours or days, imagine how good the results could be if you or your team dedicated more time to it.
