Do you feel like your business could improve its productivity? Are you tired of watching your employees waste their time on bureaucratic activities?

If you’re responsible for a startup or a small business, you know administrative tasks are a problem. You probably don’t have a personal assistant to help you, do you?

Outsource Administrative Tasks To Virtual Assistants

Sending emails, dealing with customers, arranging meetings, booking flights and hotels — there’s just too much to do and you don’t have the time!

Luckily, there’s a way around it. Sure, you can’t afford to hire a human personal assistant. But what about artificial intelligence (AI) assistants? They can really help you organize your life — and boost your business productivity.

You may know Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant because they sometimes get in your way when using your phone. But did you know they can be programmed to answer emails and take care of your agenda?

And there’s more! There’s a new generation of assistant bots specifically programmed for business. Do you need to arrange a meeting? Let Amy from x.ai do it. Do you need to book a plane ticket and a hotel? Ask Niki from niki.ai.

In fact, there are dozens of business bots available. Show your employees how to use them you’ll see their efficiency go off the roof!

Improve Your Customer Interaction With Chatbots

But AI isn’t only useful behind the counter. You can set up chatbots to welcome visitors to your website and answer any questions they may have.

Have you seen that chat box that pops up on some websites? It’s usually a smiling face greeting you and asking how they can help you. That’s not a real person. It’s an artificial intelligence chatbot, programmed to interact you.

Chatbots are great. They make you look more approachable and likable to your customers. Chatbots can also save you a lot of time, answer basic questions and doubts. Plus, they can guide your customers on their buying journey and even process payments!

AI is the present of business

A couple of years ago it seemed too far away. But it’s true: artificial intelligence is the present of business.

Virtual assistants can help you with daily tasks and improve your interaction with customers. They are the best way to improve your business productivity.
