Your First 3 Steps to Using AI in Your Business

You don’t need to be a tech expert to use AI. You just need to know where to start.

At Think Swift, we work with business owners, operators, and execs who are smart, capable and not technical. They know AI is important. They just don’t want to waste time on fluff.

Here are your first 3 no-nonsense steps to start using AI in your business today.

Step 1: Spot the Repeat Work

Start with one question: What are you (or your team) doing over and over again every week?

It could be:

• Sending reminder emails
• Scheduling meetings
• Collecting client onboarding info
• Writing social captions
• Logging tasks into your CRM

If it’s repeatable, it’s automatable. That’s your entry point into AI.

Step 2: Choose a Simple AI Tool to Help

Don’t get stuck comparing 30 platforms. Here are a few AI tools you can start using in under an hour:

• ChatGPT – Summarise, draft, brainstorm, write
• Tidio or Chatbase – Turn your FAQs into a 24/7 chatbot
• Make.com or Zapier – Link apps together and run automations
• Motion or ClickUp AI – Smart task planning, follow-ups, and workflow tips

You don’t need all of them, just the right one for your problem.

Step 3: Test It on a Real Task (Not a Hypothetical One)

AI becomes useful the moment it becomes yours. Not a demo. Not a theory. A real problem you face in your business every day.

• Create a weekly social caption calendar with ChatGPT
• Build a Make.com automation that sends leads from your website to your inbox
• Train a chatbot to answer 10 of your most common questions

It’s about momentum, not mastery.

Bonus: Don’t DIY It Forever

If you're serious about saving time and scaling, you’ll outgrow quick fixes.

That’s where Think Swift comes in. We help you:

• Map where AI will make the biggest difference
• Automate with purpose — not just plugins
• Build smarter systems that scale as you grow
• Train your team to use them confidently

AI doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need a guide.

The Bottom Line

• You don’t need a tech background.
• You don’t need a massive budget.
• You just need to start where you are, with what’s slowing you down.
