Imagine if you could give everyone on your team an entire team of their own to help them get their work done.
And imagine if these assistants could work at lightning speed and never needed to take a sick day.
Does this sound impossible? AI Agents have made it a reality. They are set to revolutionise productivity, empowering small businesses to deliver at the levels of major global brands.
Take a look at what this emerging technology can help your business achieve:
What are AI Agents?
AI Agents give you the capability to ‘clone’ yourself (or others) and create new team members that live exclusively in the digital realm. These virtual operators are artificially intelligent and have capabilities that include complex reasoning, contextual memory, and the power to execute tasks. They can have ‘natural’ conversations and learn from experience.
Your business can create AI Agents to fulfil specific roles such as data analyst or video script writer. These agents can be set up without the need for code and given specific functions to perform. They’re available to you 24/7 and they can produce results in a matter of seconds.
Think of all the key operators in your business as coaches of a basketball team; with AI Agents they can select the specific players that they need to ‘win’.
What’s more, these virtual players can work together, even when their ‘coach’ isn’t around. They won’t need you to continually enter specific prompts the way an AI platform like ChatGPT does.
Creating custom workflows with AI Agents
What’s more, these virtual players can work together, even when their ‘coach’ isn’t around. Give them a job to do and they can pass it between each other to get it done.
For example, you can create a ‘Researcher’ AI Agent, who will send out requests for quotes. Then your ‘Procurement Expert’ can review them and create a shortlist of providers. Simply set a predefined goal and clarify where the resources need to come from. Your agents can intelligently collect information and understand the context of the task as well as the task itself.
With AI Agents, you’re getting an autonomous team that can interact and learn from each other while leveraging information from within your business and elsewhere. Once these agents are established, your team will be able to chat with them via text or voice, and feel like they’re having a discussion with an employee.
All of a sudden, six hour-long tasks can be completed in three minutes. Of course, the information your Agents come up with will require some input and review from a human, but the repetitive heavy lifting tasks will be done in seconds.
AI Agent use cases include:
- Customer enquiry and support chatbots
- Competitor analysis
- Cybersecurity monitoring and alerts
- Marketing and content creation
- Tracking and analysing big data
- Warning of changes in sales, website traffic, financial outcomes, etc
- Optimising supply chains
Embrace the future
If you can’t think of ten or more ways AI Agents can help you expand your productivity, your team probably can. The opportunity to shrink their to-do lists and expand their output opens up the potential to devise and implement creative new ways to grow the business.
AI Agents give your small business ways to:
- Exponentially increase efficiency
- Scale without having to commit huge funds to additional headcount
- Leverage data-driven insights
- Improve workflows and optimise operations
- Serve and satisfy more customers
Here’s the heads-up about this technology:
If you don’t take action to embrace AI and integrate it into your business, your competitors will. Using this technology doesn’t mean letting people go from their jobs; it means empowering the individuals within your organisation to be coaches, not players. They’ll be able to guide their own virtual team to massively expand on the results you are already achieving.
The best thing you can do right now is learn and understand. Then you can make a plan to transform and scale your business at a faster rate than ever before.
