AI tools are becoming more and more essential for businesses in 2023. Whether you want to improve your productivity, creativity, communication, or marketing, there is an AI tool that can get you to the next level. If you remember the early days of the iPhone, there was a phrase that started becoming popular…. “There’s an app for that.” Similarly, no matter the goal you have in mind, there is probably an AI tool that could help.
As these AI tools become accessible and widespread, it’s up to businesses to stay up to date on the latest resources that are designed to keep them at the forefront of technology. That’s why we decided to make it easy and compile a list of the top 10 best AI tools for business growth. Here, you’ll find AI tools that can create videos, keep your workload organized, write blogs, and more.
As you may have heard, ChatGPT is an AI chatbot platform that lets you create conversational agents for your website, app, or social media. You can use ChatGPT to engage your customers, provide support, generate leads, and increase conversions.
The widespread availability of this AI conversationalist is a game-changer for businesses. Now, customer service, web content, and customer engagement can be automated– with some help from a professional, of course. While the power behind this tool is undeniable, it’s still getting information from 2021 and earlier. But being able to use ChatGPT for your business needs is nothing more than an API away.
This tool is a standout on this list. The AI Business Analyzer, much like the name suggests, analyzes businesses to figure out how ready it is to implement AI. From current processes to what software platforms are used, all the details on how a business is run can fall on a scale from you’re not ready for AI at all, to this is a simple switch.
The key part of this app is that it’s a gateway to a whole other host of benefits for business growth. Once you’ve determined the readiness of your business for AI, you can directly contact an expert who will help you hash out the next steps. Keep in mind, all of the tools on this list are useful, but there’s no replacing an AI tool that is fully integrated into your workflows. An automated company is a thriving one, and in this technology era, it’s quickly becoming the new standard. Try out the tool for free here.
This is a cloud-based project management software that includes an AI writing assistant, which can help you write faster and polish your copy, email responses, and more. This works great if you’re looking for a way to track and manage teams of all sizes.
The genius behind ClickUp can be summarized in two points:
It has AI integrated into it to help your smaller writing tasks write themselves. From replying to emails at lightning speed to brainstorming marketing ideas, the AI assistant gives you the momentum you need throughout your busy day.
It makes productivity feel extra good by gamifying your workload. Every time you complete a task and get to move it into the next phase, the dopamine in your brain will fire off those reward feelings (the dopamine isn’t coded into the tool, in case you were worried.)
Google Analytics is hands down one of the most popular and powerful AI tools that can help you grow your business in 2023. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic, behaviour, and performance. You can use Google Analytics to measure your online marketing campaigns, optimize your website design and content, understand your audience preferences and needs, and generate insights and recommendations for your business strategy.
This tool is more of a necessity than a nice-to-have. If you’re not already utilizing a tool that helps you track your conversions, see patterns in your website traffic, and suggest the next moves for your online visibility, then you’ve got to set your priorities straight. Businesses don’t grow unless the growth is tracked, measured, and repeatable. Google Analytics helps you do exactly that.
This is a digital writing assistant that can help you improve your communication skills. Grammarly can check your grammar, spelling, punctuation, tone, and readability. It can also help you avoid plagiarism and reword your sentences for clarity and impact.
Another great part– it’s free to use… for the most part. Once you add the extension to your browser, a little green circle will start suggesting edits, pointing out confusing sentences, and fixing your embarrassing typos. Never hit “undo send” on an email again. Grammarly’s benefits are all readily available free of charge. Of course, there’s a premium version with even more AI power behind it, and it might just be worth it if you or your team have some issues with writing. Keep in mind, a small typo on a website can cost millions of dollars. Any mistakes in your copy can impact your brand’s reputation. There’s more on the line than you think!
This is a video creation tool that uses AI to transcribe, edit, and produce videos. You can use Descript to record podcasts, create video tutorials, make marketing videos, and more. Descript also has a feature that lets you edit audio and video by editing text. Crazy, right?
This AI tool has been described as “impossibly futuristic” by a reviewer. It’s a great way to describe the usefulness of Descript, as it bridges the gap between people who want to create content but have trouble doing it the way they did in the old days of manually shooting and editing a video. While there’s still an argument to be had about the artistic element of editing films the hard way, this app is perfect for digital content that’s meant to drive business growth. This cuts loads of time from the slow process of learning to use complicated software to chop up bits of short content.
This is another AI content creation tool that can help you with a variety of tasks such as generating slogans, headlines, logos, product descriptions, and more. Copy.ai uses a powerful neural network to generate creative and catchy content for your brand.
Before the creative marketers go to war, consider this; it takes a human expert to verify whether copy is actually good or not. Instead, this tool should be seen as one of two things; a) a way to make marketing more accessible to people just starting a business or b) a huge time saver for marketers, and a wall to bounce ideas off of. Regardless, Copy.ai is incredibly useful for anyone that needs some help getting the creative juices flowing.
Instead of generating copy, this AI copywriting tool can help you optimize your content for conversions. Anyword can predict how well your content will perform with your target audience and suggest improvements to increase engagement and sales.
The competition for the first page on Google is fierce. The competition for audience attention is more so. This futuristic AI tool can help businesses navigate the tough landscape of digital content and minimize the gruelling process of throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. Anyword has a pretty good track record, too, boasting clients like Amazon and National Geographic. This one is definitely worth a look.
Imagine being able to simply describe the kind of web app you want and seeing it come together automatically on your screen. This is Bracabrac, the AI app generator. This tool uses GPT-4 to allow you to build apps using no code.
No one should expect the quality to be top-notch for any app generated in just a few minutes, but the beauty of this tool is that it allows virtually anyone to have an idea and see it come to life in record time. Bricabrac promises to deliver an app that has a fully responsive interface, and you can also add features and edit any part of it just by describing what it is you want. However, businesses require more complex applications that look and feel the best. For that, we’d recommend getting an app custom-built through human experts who know how to code!
This is a good one for those that want to let their creativity soar. Runway is an AI video creation tool that lets you manipulate videos in real-time. You can use this AI tool to change the appearance, motion, sound, and style of your videos. Runway also lets you add effects such as face swap, deep fake, style transfer, and more.
If Descript is the shortcut for Premier Pro (Adobe’s video editing software), then Runway is the shortcut for After Effects. This app lets you streamline more complex video editing to allow for any creative ideas to become possible. Businesses need creative commercials, content, educational videos and more to be able to stand out from the crowd. Runway could help achieve it.
To Wrap Things Up
All of these AI tools are massively helpful in different ways. The needs of every business are unique and often depend on what industry a particular business is in, what goods it sells, and what the overall goals are. The use of each of these tools is exciting, but can only go so far when it comes to helping a business innovate from the inside. AI is alluring, but it’s strenuous for businesses to implement without any guidance. To be able to use these tools for growth, a consultant can be an indispensable resource for companies looking to scale.
Going at it solo can lead businesses down a lot of dead-end paths, but hiring in-house AI experts can be time-consuming, expensive, and hard to actually find at all. If you are a business owner or IT decision-maker, consider hiring outside consultants to lead you down the right path the first time.
If the AI tools on this list are making so many things possible, imagine what AI custom-tailored to your business could do.
