By now, you’ve heard it a hundred times: AI is changing everything.
But here’s the question I get asked the most—how can I actually use it? Not just play around with image generators or wacky prompts–but implement it in a way that makes a difference for your team, your workflows, and your bottom line.
Step 1: Get Past the Noise
There’s no shortage of shiny AI tools out there promising to "revolutionize" your business.
Most of them won’t.
Here’s the truth—you don’t need 100 tools. You need 1 that works. One that integrates. One you and your team will actually use.
So instead of chasing every new GPT wrapper or automation app that hits Product Hunt, ask yourself: What’s one friction point in my workflow that eats time or blocks momentum?
Start there.
Step 2: Build or Adapt—But Keep It Simple
Don’t have an in-house dev team? That’s fine. You can still start building.
We’ve seen teams create agents that:
- Qualify leads in real time,
- Draft personalized outreach in seconds,
- Summarize hours of meeting notes into bullet-point gold.
These aren’t hypothetical. They’re real agents doing real work. And most of them didn’t take a team of engineers. They started with clear goals and low-code tools.
Step 3: Think Beyond Content
Yes, AI can write. But the real value is in ops and insight.
Sales teams are using AI to spot trends before they hit the dashboard. Marketers are automating experiments at scale. Ops leads are using agents to monitor workflows and flag inefficiencies.
If your only exposure to AI is content generation, you’re missing 80% of the value.
Step 4: Loop Your Team In—Now
You don’t need to be a CTO to lead AI adoption. But you do need to talk about it. Share what you’re seeing. Build a wish list with your team. Learn the basics together.
Once people see what’s possible, you’ll start to feel the culture shift. That’s where real momentum begins.
What If You’re Stuck?
Let’s say you know AI could help. But you don’t know how to implement it, and you don’t have the internal resources to figure it out.
That’s where custom AI solutions come in.
At InboundAV, our AI development team builds agents that plug into your CRM, workflows, and real pain points. No one-size-fits all solutions–custom automation that fits your business like a glove.
So if you’re ready to roll, but short on bandwidth—we can help.
Don’t Wait
The AI wave isn’t coming–It’s here.
The businesses that win won’t be the ones that waited for the perfect tool. They’ll be the ones who picked one good use case, shipped fast, and learned as they went.
So start small, build momentum, and stay focused. And if you want a little help getting there, give us a call.
