Top 12 AI Tools That Will Transform and Grow Your Business

I've tried more than 500 AI tools, and these are the ones that will actually blow up your business. I own dozens of

AI companies, and I can tell you in the new AI era, you won't get rich by working more. You'll get rich by using

the tools that help you work less. And no, this isn't a basic AI tutorial that you've seen a hundred other times. These

AI tools are what I'm using right now in all of my companies to get more done and stay ahead of the competition. So, let's

dive in. Tool number one, granola.ai. What I love about Granola that none of the other apps do, first off, it doesn't

join your freaking meetings. Have you ever noticed all these notetakers? I literally don't let them in my meetings.

It uses the audio on your app and it's local so that nobody else sees it that you're recording. The other part is it

has AI assisted notes, meaning that I can type out in granola in real time in the meeting and afterwards it merges the

transcripts with my notes to create something very comprehensive. [music] And finally, my favorite part is it

truly acts as an AI second brain. like I can ask it, show me all the meetings where we discuss pricing [music] and

it'll show it to me. It's a gamecher when it comes to just making your meetings so freaking [music] efficient.

So that's just the first tool. We've got 11 more. It'll help you print freaking money. Number two, NADN essentially

allows you to connect everything and create workflows and using AI to help it route and make decisions for you because

that's what AI does better than anything else. Automation is the future and why AI is going to transform the business

world. [music] And it scales without adding any headcount. It frees your team to actually focus on what matters and

drives growth, which [music] is talking to customers and making sure the team is good and hiring better people. That is

what's powerful. So, I'm going to challenge you to automate your whole onboarding. Here's the whole flow that I

do in almost 90% of my companies. First thing is once the payment happens, that triggers that information being added to

the CRM. That's step one. Step two, send them a welcome email. What's different with AI is I can personalize that email

based on the information I captured from the call or that payment. Step three is send them an email to fill out an intake

form. The intake form is everything I would normally ask on the call. The cool part is step three can actually be done

over voice, which we'll talk about some tools on how to do that. So, they don't have to fill out a form. They can

actually get a phone call and talk to a real person, aka AI, to get that information. Step four is invite them to

your support. Right? if that's a community or a Slack channel, you can invite them into that world. So, it's

all automated. Step five is send them a follow-up email only based on the things they haven't done yet. So, it can

monitor and make decisions and send very personalized emails to get them to complete those steps. Step six is to

invite them to a call with one of your team members so they can walk them through how the whole process is going

to work. But on that call, and this is step seven, is there's an automation that creates a personalized presentation

based on the intake form that that person on the call presents to the client to show them exactly how what you

do is going to be customized for them. That is all done automagically. Now, here's the deal. N8N is prolevel. If you

want to go something more intermediate, check out make.com. If you want something that's tried and true and I've

been using for almost a decade, check out Zapier. But OpenAI not too long ago just launched agent builder. So you want

to watch out for what they build because even though today it looks very advanced, it could get really simple and

universal for everything else. So I'm keeping an eye on it. All right, automation's running. Cool. Now let's

build faster than any of your competitors. Tool number three, lovable.dev. This is going to blow your

mind. Lovable is the easiest way to build [music] any app. So you know those people that like, I got an app idea, you

can build it. In the past, you had to hire a developer. Now, you just need to know how to type any language, English,

Spanish, Mandarin, it doesn't matter. Essentially, the AI is smart enough to figure it out and it will build you an

app that you can ship and use. So, imagine you have a social media marketing platform and you want to run

[music] some ads for just plumbers in the Midwest. So, you need a landing page just for that audience. What you can do

is go to Levible and say, "Build me a landing page for my social media marketing agency for plumbers in the

Midwest." And hit enter. It will then build that whole thing. Now you also want to take payment. So you say, okay,

add stripe payment so I can collect a deposit. So then you get the output and you might say, well now I want to add

some other things like a form to collect information about the customer and the ability to get a deposit so I can get a

commitment from the person buying. You hit enter and lovable will add all those features to that page. You generate it,

you test it, and you deploy it. It's that simple. So now we went from having to come up with an idea and hiring

programmers to build stuff to having the idea, being able to type it and describe it and hit enter. The future of building

apps for your business is going to shift everything. Speed is a competitive advantage. Don't sleep on this one. So

now that you can build apps at lightning speed, it's time to close the deals. Tool number four, your.com.

So, Atlas is one of my portfolio companies at Martell Ventures where you can have it call leads instantly, ask it

to qualify those leads, and have it sell and book meetings 24/7. No bad days, no going off script, no taking vacation.

This thing runs automatically in real time. We actually use it across all my companies. When somebody fills out a

form, it calls them right away. I was showing my father-in-law the other night at dinner and he's like, "Who's Emma?"

And I was like, "Well, Emma's the AI." He's like, "Well, where does she live?" "No, like Emma's not real." "What do you

mean she's not real? She just called you." I said, "I know. I was just showing you the example of how it works.

That's Emma's not real. That is artificial intelligence." And his brain just went [snorts]

speed to lead is how you increase your pipeline conversions. The faster you can contact or call anybody fills out a form

or just follow up quickly to get them scheduled, you will stop them from searching for other solutions and they

become your customer. Because once you see it, you'll understand how it works. So, just go to youratlas.com. Fill in

the form. Have it call you and watch it handle your objections and then get you on a call. Say, "All right, let's talk.

Are you free? 3:00 Eastern time next Thursday." And it'll go burp. And you can hear it typing, checking the

calendar. And it waits. Even try hanging up before the confirmation. Guess what it's going to do? Call you back and try

to get you to book that call. Very realistic. All AI. Now, great. That's your booking engine. Now, we got to

create a voice that can sell no matter what. Tool number five, 11labs.io. This one's kind of like the OG AI. It's

been around forever. And what's crazy is that it allows you to clone your voice. Would you be surprised to find out that

sometimes I can't pronounce words like regularlessly. The cool part now with an AI voice clone is they can do all of the

pickups that I used to have to come into the studio to re-record now using my voice AI. Would you be surprised to find

out that sometimes I can't pronounce words like rigorously? But think about it. When you can clone your voice at

scale to deliver an incredible customer experience, that is powerful. If you're a business owner, you should be creating

content. So, for example, my brother sells homes. So, the first thing he needs to do is go create a voice clone

for himself. So, he uses 11 Labs. He gives it a clean sample in the app. He just follows the script and that way it

creates that AI clone for him. The second thing is you want to go find a video where you're like the energyy's

off or you misspoke or you forgot to say something and then just have your editor use your voice clone to update those.

That's super powerful and awesome and you can just repost it on your Facebook or Tik Tok and see how it performs. Now,

the third step is to go even further. So my brother who has all these walkthroughs of all these beautiful

homes can have his video editor, his copywriter write the scripts, have him read it and publish those as different

ads or different pieces of content specific to the platform. But it's all dynamic based on his voice and the

editor doing it himself. This is a gamecher for content. But what if you want a full AI video version of

yourself? Tool number six is heyen.com. So, this is AI video avatars, but you use the voice from 11 Labs to plug it in

to make the whole thing work. Just so you know, I was anti- AI avatars. I was a full content creator. Somebody that's

like, "Hey, this is my art. This is my communication. This is organic. People don't want this synthetic artistic

content." And then I was on a call with seven AI experts that I curated from social media. I literally go every week

and I'm on this Zoom call and one of the guys asked me about my thoughts on AI avatars and I said I'm not a fan. And he

goes, "Funny because all the content that you saw that I put out there, that's my AI avatar." Oh, my personal

opinion of this had to change. Those are those moments in life where you got to make sure that something you believe is

not holding you back. If you don't want or don't feel comfortable speaking on camera, guess what? The second best

thing is an AI avatar. Now, you might say, "Well, that looks kind of weird and clunky." Today it does, but it won't in

the future. And now you have no reason not to be serving your market. And when you say, "Well, nobody wants to watch

that." Well, guess what? I grew up on He-Man and Astro Boy. The future is how good is the content, not [music] does

the person actually shoot their own content. It's not there yet. Again, this is still me, but I'm not disputing it

like I did before. And here's how you use it in your business to make a lot of money. Use Chad GPT to write a script of

you saying something powerful that can help somebody. Then go into Hey Jen, choose your avatar and language, which

is your own, and then export a ready to post video. Isn't that wild? It's still you talking to the camera, but it didn't

take your time to shoot that because your editors could do it on your behalf. So, now that the content engine is

running and converting to leads, this next one is one of my favorites. Tool number seven, Chad GBT voice mode. The

idea of hands-free ideiation, problem solving, essentially using it as a therapist, thinking out loud, getting

out of your head and into words is so powerful. The other day I was struggling with a massive strategic decision. And I

went on a run and the cool part about voice mode is you can have it on your phone but in your AirPod. So I could

talk to it while I was running and my phone was in my pocket. And at the end of that 45 minute run, it told me

exactly what I knew I needed to do that I didn't want to do. Like that's the crazy part is like a lot of people

pretend not to know. They pretend that they shouldn't do this thing when at the end of the day good friends will just be

like you know what you got to do and you're like oh I was scared you were going to say that. AI did the same thing

for me but it gave it to me with confidence. It gave me the numbers to make the decision clear. Why is this so

powerful? It just becomes a real time cleaner way to communicate strategies, issues, challenges that's way faster to

get an action completed. You using it is next level. Your whole freaking team using it is going to make your business

a lot of money. So here's a simple example that's going to change the way you solve problems in your business. So

first off, you need to tell it to stop being too nice. So that's where you want to say, "Hey, challenge me. Be my

mentor. Make sure that my ideas are bulletproof. Keep asking me questions you feel like we get there." Then you

want to give it a challenge. But when you ask it, so if you're having to make a decision about like what do I need to

work on to fix my business, give it the language around theory of constraints, which is TOC. TOC is a problem-solving

strategy to figure out how to increase throughput within your business. Once it knows that, it's going to ask you

questions about your marketing and your sales and your delivery. Then you can give it the data that it can use and

then tell you what areas you should look at. Then I want you to ask it, well give me five examples of how I could fix this

problem with the resources I have and give it the constraint. See, if you don't give the AI the constraints, it

won't know how to solve the problem. Then it's going to give you the answers and you tell it to rank it based on the

amount of time you have and the people on your team and what you're trying to create over the next 5 years. And having

AI be a thought partner for strategic decisions using the framework I just taught is going to make you a ton of

money. Now that communication is super clear and AI is solving your biggest problems, let's talk about the

datadriven decisions. Tool number eight, precision.co. Precision is built by one of my good buddies, Matt Burlac. He's

also a portfolio company at Martell Ventures. Because data is how you make decisions. And if you don't have a tool,

then how do you know what scorecards to look at, flags to figure out if there's any weirdness, or to tell you what's the

one action that matters? Precision does all that for you. and we use it in all of my companies to make sure that every

leader is making the right decision based on the data that they're looking at and nobody's trying to like come up

with creative problems that don't exist. So, every morning at 8 a.m. we get the KPIs, the key performance indicators,

and one clear move to improve those numbers. There's fewer dashboards, and it's way easier for everybody in the

team to win. Focusing on the right numbers is going to give you the highest impact for pulling on the right lever.

So, here's a quick example on how you can use it yourself. Essentially, you connect all your CRM information, all

your billing information, all your marketing and ad platform. Then it will create a CEO weekly scorecard for you

based on your business and your best practices. And then when you turn on the anomaly alerts, it'll actually post to

Slack anything that it finds that it thinks you should go and spend some time on. Then it allows you to monitor your

whole business with a onepage dashboard that shows just the KPIs that everybody should be focusing on. And just like

that, you know exactly what matters in your business. Most businesses don't know what numbers to look at. Even if

they're looking at the numbers, they don't know what's good based on their industry. And even if they're doing all

that, they don't know actually how to fix the number in the business to actually grow the business. Precision

helps you do all that with one tool. Now that you have your numbers looking good, let's learn how to multiply yourself

without spending any extra money. Tool number nine, fixer.ai. Now, it's fyxer.ai.

they probably put on the screen somewhere, but that tool essentially is your AI ops assistant that handles

calendar, travel, vendors, wrangling, SOPs, follow-ups. It's essentially like a modern-day chief of staff. And as the

guy who wrote the book, Buy Back Your Time, this is one that's near and dear to my heart because I knew at some point

that low-level assistant role was going to be automated through AI. Now, I don't think it gets rid of that person because

a lot of communication with the world is very human, but it'll help that person get everything done automatically.

[music] So, here's a simple example on how you can use it today. First off, import all your playbooks. These are all

your standard operating procedures. Some people call them manuals. Essentially, it's the your way your company works.

Grab all those documents, wherever they may be, and import them into the tool. The next thing is you want to assign

ownership to the inbox. So, you need to give it access to your inbox so it can move all these things forward on your

behalf. The next thing, and it's really cool, is you get a weekly digest of all the stuff it's been doing and all the

exceptions that it didn't know how to route so you can deal with them directly. Usually, like I said, you

would have your executive assistant do all these tasks. But with Fixer, essentially, it can do it for you. Most

people don't have an EA cuz they don't know what they would give them to do. If you want to download my internal 42page

document of all the things I do from my northstar principles for my executive assistant to the templates to [music]

the emails to the whole structure, it's literally 15 years of experience in this document. Just click the link in the

description below and download your copy today. So now that your inbox is taken care of, great. Now the next tool is a

game changer for all the leaders in your company. Tool number 10, gamma.app. This thing takes all these crazy ideas,

all these words, and creates visual outputs. I'm talking decks and docs and web pages, essentially all your words

into created designs. Humans learn through pictures. Okay? That's what we see in our minds, not words. So, for

example, back in the day, we used to put everything, all our strategies, all our priorities in a Google doc. But the

problem is in meetings, nobody was leaning in. We took that same document asked gamma to visualize it and now all

of a sudden people are paying attention because we're going through it slide by slide and there is a picture

communicating what we said is a priority. That alone is worth the price of the product. Here's a simple example

that if you want to try just to see how it could work, just go in there and write the prompt, watch it autogenerate

the layouts, the charts, the [music] callouts. Essentially, it does it all for you with very little information.

Imagine if you actually gave it a full document with instructions. Cool part is that you can then take that and export

it to a PDF where you can click through or even publish it to the web as a web page. Okay, so now that you visualize

your information and the decks are clean, now let's build your company brain. Tool number 11, BuddyPro.ai.

Buddy ProAI is another one of my portfolio companies at Martell Ventures and it is super freaking cool. What it

becomes is essentially the brain for your business. Why? Because you know all this stuff. You have beliefs, you have

strategies, you have experience, you have frameworks, you have all these things that you've collected over the

years and when somebody comes to you with a problem, you give them the answer. What if all of that was captured

and anybody at any time of the day could actually talk to it and get the answer you would give it? That's the power of

Buddy Pro. [music] In the future, you'll be able to license those brains from other companies. Think about the culture

at Netflix, the product design from Apple, or the brand creation from Coca-Cola. Do you see how cool this

gets? So scaling your business requires scaling your knowledge. The first step is to load everything [music] you got.

I'm talking if you can extract your email knowledge, extract your social media knowledge, extract all the

internal trainings, extract everything and give it to it. It will take all that information and make sense of it. Then

you want to categorize all your beliefs into buckets because your beliefs drives the way it guides [music] the answers.

The cool thing about Buddy Pro is it also takes the context of who's asking the question and it creates like a

personalization on top of their question and they can add a bunch of stuff so that they get the answer specific to

them. So imagine if every client that you've got, you load their context into this so that when they send a question

in, it knows all the things they've bought from you. It knows all the times they've reached out to you. If there was

recorded calls, it has all those calls to use as information to actually give them the right answer. [music]

The interface is as simple as using chat GPT for your clients. This will change your support challenges, your customer

success issues, your coaching, your training. You can use it for your clients and you can use it for your

team. So now you've got all your knowledge and you made it accessible to anybody on your team or your clients.

This next one is taking the future of business to another level by changing the experience for all your clients.

Tool number 12 is vapy. Vapi, which stands for voice API. Essentially, voice is like a completely different version

of like your atlas where your atlas is very focused on helping you make money. The voice API is essentially building

apps that use voice for your business. You can use it for anything. There's actually a funny example of this

20-year-old kid that used it to call all the used Rolex stores to negotiate a panda watch on his behalf. It did all

the calls. The voice they used was a like New York Italian guy and gave it the scripts for it to negotiate, log all

of the price confirmations from those negotiations into a spreadsheet and essentially allowed them to sort by the

least amount of money for that panda with the right specs. It was wild to watch. Just Google it, you'll find it.

Essentially, you can scale outbound sales, inbound support calls without adding any new hires. So, here's a

simple example. Imagine you have a team of people doing support calls and you just want to like help the person

faster. So I want you to use Vapy to take the call, identify the core problem the customer is having, try to answer it

on the call using the AI and if it can't, real simple, just redirect it to the current team that you have so that

the human can solve the problem. And then what you do is you're just trying to get it better and better where it

doesn't have to route to the human anymore because every time it does, you take that information, you update the

prompt and then it can do it in the future without having to do the routing. Do you see how you can like start there

and then slowly remove people from your team and retrain them to go do other stuff? Imagine how much time that's

going to buy back not just your time, but your whole team. The crazy thing about voice is that it is the preferred

interface. I don't want to fill out a form anymore. I'd rather just call a number and talk to AI cuz it's so good

now. So, it's not even to solve your current problems. It's trying to find new ways to make money using voice. So,

there was a lot of tools I just went over, but I want you to just pick one tool and ship it this week. Put in your

calendar, 90minute block, go in there and use it. If you stack that win and do that every week, you'll watch your

revenue grow in your business. And just a reminder, if you want to get my internal document for my executive

assistant playbook, just click the first link in the description below and download your copy today. I understand

keeping on top of AI is really hard. And I know that you're like, "Thank God Dan's putting out this content, or I

wouldn't even know where to start." But every one of us can learn it. The future of business is AI plus your business.

It's putting AI first. If you don't decide to say I am an AI powered ex company, then unfortunately in 3 or 4

years there's only going to be one winner. It's the company that's using AI. So don't sleep on this. If this

resonated with you, make it part of your culture. Integrate it into your teams. Use it on a daily basis and never stop

cuz honestly every 60day the whole thing is changing, accelerating, and getting better. Now those tools will definitely

help you grow your business. But if you want to learn how to use chat GBT better than 99% of the people out there, just

click the video and I'll see you on the other
