Run your small business smarter with AI
As a small business owner, you could find yourself on CEO, COO and CMO duties in the span of a day. So it’s a good thing there are plenty of clever apps out there to help you juggle all those tasks.
We’re shining the spotlight on three AI-driven apps we love that can help speed up your daily processes, finesse your content marketing materials and help you grow your small business this year. Here’s how you can make the most of them.
Be smarter on social with Canva
Canva’s professionally designed social media templates, coupled with the powerful suite of “Magic” AI tools, make social media managers of us all.
Use Magic Resize to scale images for the social media platforms of your choice, then instantly remove any unwanted distractions from your branded shots with Magic Erase.
Video creation is far less daunting too with Canva’s one-click Background Remover function. And the platform’s Highlights tool uses AI to identify the standout sections of your video, then stitches them together in a tight, polished edit.
Write smarter copy with Microsoft CoPilot
Called “CoPilot” for a reason, this app is an AI companion that can help increase productivity by drafting succinct, insightful copy for your business.
From a snappy paragraph about your brand for your website, to an engaging pitch to a potential client, to a polished press release about a new product, Microsoft CoPilot can do it all based on your ask. Just remember to proofread the copy before it goes live!
CoPilot subscribers also have the option to access the functionality within other Microsoft apps such as Word, Excel and Outlook for greater efficiency, taking care of your admin needs.
Take smarter notes with GoodNotes 6
Whether you’re taking minutes in a meeting, jotting down key phrases from a business seminar or brainstorming a new project idea, GoodNotes 6’s AI features can fine-tune your scribbles and help speed up the note-taking process.
Spellcheck, for example, detects any spelling errors and corrects them in your own handwriting, while Word Complete uses AI to predict what you’re about to write and finishes that word or sentence for you.
If you’ve typed out your notes, the AI Typing tool helps fix grammar and spelling, changes the tone if necessary and can also remove any unnecessary information, readying them to share with your colleagues.
