Top Reasons to Use AI for Your Business Research
Do you ever find yourself needing to research a new competitor, a potential vendor, or a confusing tax law? Doing research on Google can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack—you end up clicking through dozens of ads and messy websites before you find the truth.
AI has changed the research game forever. It doesn't just give you a list of links; it actually reads the information and brings you the answer. It’s like having a research librarian who works only for you.
Our friend David, who owns a small print shop, needed to know if he qualified for a new small business tax credit. Instead of spending hours on government websites, he used AI to summarize the rules for his specific state and zip code. He found his answer in five minutes!
It Saves You Hours of Reading The #1 reason to use AI for business is time. AI can scan thousands of pages of text in the time it takes you to take a sip of coffee.
If you have a long contract or a competitor’s 50-page price list, you can simply upload it and ask, "What are the three most important things I should know?" This allows you to make fast, smart decisions without the "information overload."
It Helps You "Think Around the Corner" AI is excellent at brainstorming. If you are stuck on how to grow your business, you can ask, "I run a pet grooming shop. What are 10 unique services I could offer that my competitors probably don't?"
It will give you ideas you might never have thought of—like "pet photography" or "senior dog spa days." It’s a great way to spark your own creativity and stay ahead of the curve.
It Simplifies the "Technical Stuff" As a business owner, you often have to deal with things outside your expertise—like legal terms, software "jargon," or complex shipping rules. AI acts as a translator.
In our book, AI for Boomers, we always say "You won't break anything by trying." You can paste any confusing technical paragraph into an AI and say, "Explain this to me like I’m a high school student." It removes the "fear of the unknown" and puts you back in control.
