The release of ChatGPT and the quick follow-up by Google to release Gemini reminds me of the beginning days of Search.

At that time, it was Google pitted against Yahoo! for search dominance. Google bought Sprinx and got into the Pay-per-click search business. A few months later, Yahoo! bought Overture, the largest publicly traded pay-per-click vendor. 

The race was on, and Google for the first time monetized its search results, resulting in today, still comprising over 99% of revenues from - Paid Search.

Back then, the only search inputs were the user's search phrase, and it was hard to distinguish questions from simple words or phrases.

The power to tap into the world's knowledge with a simple search term revolutionized work, and still does today, for those who were adept at using Google as a search tool.

They say data brings knowledge, knowledge brings wisdom, and wisdom brings foresight.

They are Humans have that ability, by using tools like search and generative AI like ChatGTP and Google Gemini.

##AI

Artificial Intelligence in Business: A Revolutionary Shift

Over the years, Google Search has largely transformed its search into a question-and-answer machine, where it understands questions and suggests questions and answers as search results themselves.

This transition from search query to questions and answers can offer a deep and more encompassing view of the topic, by suggesting great questions to ask, and the answers to those questions, as ranked by the Google algorithm, The key is that Google ranks them.

Now with ChatGPT and the new generative AI solutions, they write the answers to your questions, based on the best percentage chance of what the next word will be, and write that.

It takes the best next word from the amount of information it has processed from the web and writes an entire document comprised of the best words, in order.

This is quite different in that it is the total of the words in all documents (that have been scanned before 2021 currently for ChatGPT).

Since it is a Chatbot, you chat with it, so asking the right questions makes all the difference in the answers you get.

You need to be a knowledgeable person in that area of expertise, to ask the right questions, then the right follow-up questions, and phrase them in a way that will get the meaning and full context of the topic.

For now, generative AI generates responses, like a search engine does, and it empowers people's learning, who then teach others what they have learned.

AI is ushering in a new revolution, much like the Industrial Revolution, where new technologies introduce new capabilities and re-invent how business is done.

Business Automation with AI: Efficiency and Growth

Much like when the Web first burst onto the scene, it was hard to predict exactly how businesses would be disrupted by this new technology, but it was clear disruption was coming fast and furious.

Some businesses adapted to doing business on the Web, new businesses formed, and the ones that couldn't adapt were consolidated or shuttered.

It takes people, processes, technology, and data that are used by humans, to be able to pass that knowledge, wisdom, and foresight onto other humans and AI, to further the process.

Investing time in the Web and how it worked has spawned so many new ways of doing business, that it is hard to imagine life without it, or even to remember how commerce even happened before the Web.

In a few short years, we won't remember business without AI being the center of the business. The ones that adapt are the ones that live to tell the tale. It will spawn entirely new ways of doing business that we can't even dream of today.

We have a new knowledge machine that writes the knowledge out for us to decipher, these knowledgeable questions get fed into the question/answer machine, and it writes a response for you.

This response is the same response everyone else gets as well, more or less, with the same questions being asked, so this doesn't mean the content it writes is original. You must re-write the content as a human, and add your thoughts, research, knowledge, wisdom, and foresight, that expert humans bring to the equation.

##Chat

ChatGPT and Google Gemini: Revolutionizing Customer Service

The huge difference between Google Search and ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and other generative AI Chatbots, is that with Search, you have to search, collate the information, read it, digest it, then write out the content, next steps, sales plans, marketing plans, etc. yourself. 

With ChatGPT, you ask it to write email templates, Call Scripts, Service Scripts, etc for you. It will generate a list of the top 20 tasks to automate in each department and division in the business, give you a list of things to prioritize and augment that list to your exact business needs at the time. As your needs change, so does the plan, list of tasks, content, emails, etc. but at least you have a working system that used to take many people and many hours. 

You can't accept the output as the final product, it must be enhanced and rewritten with human insights, knowledge, and foresight to be competitive. However, it is an amazing start to build a framework of what needs doing, how to do it, and the documents and content to get it going today. 

We have been working on business automation with clients for over 20 years and the key to automation, is to automate the right processes on good data, at the right time, to be timely and relevant, and with the right people to manage the customer throughout the entire customer lifecycle, all communicating together in the same CRM system.

##Cloud

Cloud CRM Solutions: The Future of Business Operations

In the business software world, the technology is available, but the problem is many business users find it too time-consuming and difficult to use business software and CRM systems today. They are not being used by many people to their full potential, and with early adopters and larger organizations reaping most of the benefit, while simultaneously putting other business models in potential peril if they too do not adapt to the new rules of the market economy.

So, if you now have a question/answer machine that writes out what to do, the question becomes do you have the people and technology combined with the right processes and clean data, updated in real-time to execute? The answer for most businesses is a resounding No.

The problem is not that the apps are great and the access to data has never been better, it is that it is left to the business user to manage the system, and the business to manage the integration of systems, and learn how these new technologies can be put to use. The pace of innovation is happening so fast, it is hard to keep up. Now with new AI technologies that are changing the game, there is more pressure on businesses to adapt to the new technology, innovate to stay ahead, and grow using it. That is very difficult to do in today's environment for several reasons. 

Today's workers are spending half their time managing data and apps, which drains most of their energy to do their regular jobs.

It is important for all organizations to plug into an integrated technology and people platform to augment operations so that databases and systems are integrated, and productivity is happening in the system.

This helps to ensure all data is synched up and reports driven, APIs satisfied, and workflow rules initiated and emails sent, while your core staff is focused on improving the business by talking with customers, partners, management, etc.

Those organizations that master the technology advancements of AI and Cloud CRM and SAAS apps are the ones who have pre-integrated the apps, data, processes, and people, that work together as a unit. This tight unit of people, systems, and data allows for a new AI to be created, that is a new level of Artificial Intelligence is created, by allowing for continuous innovation, and with input costs shrinking to the point where productivity can skyrocket.

##GPT

Harnessing ChatGPT for CRM: AI-enhanced customer relationships

As with any revolutionary technology, AI can be misused and give false information. Just because the telephone or chat is a great technology, doesn't mean you trust every phone call or message that you receive. It's the same for AI, it depends on whether you are asking questions and getting how-tos and guides to improve your business.

Some of the downsides to using AI-generated content may not be obvious, but in short, do not just copy and paste what is written as it can get you blocked for spam, and mislead you. Take the output from ChatGPT read it, and change it to be the right thing for your business.

Here is a short list of things to consider when you are using ChatGPT:

1)  for SEO, you can't just use it to write content, and then publish the content as it is comprised of other people's words. Google automatically checks the writing against the ChatGPT checkers out there which determine if the text was written by ChatGPT, and they consider the content spam if published on a web page, Video, etc. and it can get the site banned for spam if used like this. It is great for ideas, and a draft, but humans still have to do the writing. For now, anyway.

2)  once everyone starts using the new ChatGPT, it is all about the questions you are asking, just like in Google, if you can search Google better, you have an upper hand.

3)  Google search drives information on the web, so how to get your brand and your client's brands into ChatGPT in a way that is accurate and favorable, is not known yet. For Google, you update your web page, and that is the source of record.
  This is not the same, it starts with the first word, then says 'What is the next word most likely to be?' then it adds that word, and says 'What are the next most likely words for this 2-word sentence', then 3, then 4 and so-on until it writes it all out.
  The words are pulled from various web pages and data sources, so it is not as easy to control the answers.

4)  Who owns the written content, legally? Currently, it is thought that you own it, even though ChatGPT wrote it, which is counter-intuitive

Leveraging AI to Empower People and Accelerate Business Growth

##AIPE

Forward-thinking organizations are using AI to power the growth and longevity of their business, driving value by automating better processes, with the right people, technology, and data combination to empower workers, and drive productivity.

The denominator in the growth equation for businesses and economies is the amount of productivity output per dollar, and if productivity gets increased enough, then the denominator can get large enough so that productivity can improve by leaps and bounds.

GDP of countries follow this same model and some could have almost infinite GDP.

There are so many great apps out there, but the workers of today, are unable to keep up with the logins to these apps, and consolidating the data and reports to feed the CRM and accounting systems, and it results in more time focused on software, IT, and data than is spent focusing on the business, and improving your craft. 

Large companies have the continuity of doing business over long periods to gain knowledge, wisdom, insights, and foresight. Large enterprises have the budgets and people to go and hire and manage teams of people for their IT operations and build out Sales operations teams, Marketing operations teams, and teams for each thing they need. 

Small to medium-sized businesses and SMEs don't have the same HR and software and IT and operations skills in-house. 

Augmented Staffing plus AI is the solution.
