S2-E4: Beyond ChatGPT Mastery: How to automate the boring stuff with AI and APIs
01 Jul 2024
In this episode we discuss how to go beyond mastering ChatGPT to automating your tasks using AI APIs. We introduce the concept of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and how they can be used to automate tasks to help you free up your time and scale up your productivity. Nikhil gives a live demo of an AI automation tool he built to help automate repetitive parts of Piyush's workflow as a sales executive, where he has to manually conduct research on each new client to prepare for sales meetings. The automation transforms a labor-intensive process into a seamless workflow, which saves time and improves productivity for sales executives like Piyush. We explore the technical aspects of API integration and discuss the broader implications of AI in personal productivity. Whether you're in sales, tech, or just curious about AI, this episode offers valuable insights into making AI work for you. === β° CHAPTERS === 00:00: Benefits of automation 07:59: Understanding APIs and the AI ecosystem 24:33: Automating Piyush's sales research 38:04: Exploring Use Cases for AI and Automation 51:38: AI automation for personal productivity === π§ KEY CONCEPTS === - Importance of Automation: Automation frees up time and increases productivity by enabling repetitive tasks to be done in the background - Importance of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): APIs allow different applications to interact with each other without human intervention. - The role of programming: No-code platforms such as Zapier and Make enable users to create automation workflows without any programming knowledge. But these platforms are limited, and having some basic programming knowledge enables you to leverage the full power of AI and APIs for automation. - Use cases for automation: Nikhil gives a live demo of an AI automation tool he built to help automate repetitive parts of Piyush's workflow as a sales executive, where he has to manually conduct research on each new client to prepare for sales meetings. The same concept can be extended to automate a wide range of workflows. === π LINKS === - Homepage: https://artscienceai.substack.com/about - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtScience-AI - Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/art-science-ai - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/art-science-ai- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ArtScienceAI - Instagram: http://instagram.com/artscienceai/ - Threads: https://www.threads.net/@artscienceai - Twitter / X: https://x.com/ArtScienceAI === π¬ KEYWORDS === #AI #GenAI #LLM #ChatGPT #podcast
