Has AI actually improved business operations for anyone here?

I keep hearing people say AI is streamlining operations, reducing overhead, and making teams more efficient, but I’m really want to know what that actually looks like in real small businesses day to day. Currently my team is spending most of their time handling same repeated worklfows like creating content, managing meetings, tasks etc.

Would love to hear real examples.

TIL: How to use AI and Google Search Console to find content gaps

Today I learnt a simple way to find content ideas your site already has a chance of ranking for:

  • Open Google Search Console
  • Go to Performance -> Search results
  • Set the date range to the last 12 months
  • Export the data as CSV
  • Upload the Pages. csv and Queries. csv files to ChatGPT or Claude
  • Ask it to find queries you rank for but don’t have dedicated content for

You’ll usually find keywords Google is already testing your site for. Create useful content around the most relevant ones and you may rank faster than starting with completely new keywords.

How do you avoid information overload when learning something new?

Whenever I start learning something new, I end up trying to understand everything at once. I do basic research on chatgpt/claude, read reference articles, watch videos on youtube, and take notes until my brain feels full.

Then I get mentally tired and avoid the subject for a few days.

I think I spend too much time consuming information and not enough time processing or using it.

There’s always another article or video so I never understand when I should stop researching and start actually doing...

How do you learn something properly without overwhelming yourself?

What’s a lazy purchase that ended up improving your productivity?

One of the best ones for me was buying a second charger and leaving it at my desk permanently. Sounds stupidly simple, but I stopped constantly searching for my charger, moving it around the house, or avoiding work because my phone or laptop battery was low.

Same with things like a water bottle I actually like using, meal prep containers, a better desk lamp, small stuff that just removes tiny daily annoyances.

I didn’t realize how much mental energy gets wasted on little friction points until they disappeared.

What lazy or convenience purchase unexpectedly improved your life or productivity!

My same old boring SEO tactics that were working before AI (still works in the age of AI Overview, ChatGPT)

This list is for anyone who wants to get started with SEO. If you are already an SEO pro, you can probably skip this post.

I’ve divided these tactics into low-effort and high-effort ones, so you can choose based on your time and bandwidth.

Easy to start with:

  1. Write comparison pages for products your target audience is already evaluating, such as Product A vs Product B or Product A alternatives.
  2. Write best tools listicles in your category. Read the existing results first and find out what information they are missing.
  3. Improve your internal linking. Whenever you publish a new blog, link to it from older relevant pages and connect related articles together.
  4. Update old content instead of only publishing new blogs. Refresh outdated examples, screenshots, statistics, links, and recommendations.
  5. Get backlinks (free ones on relevant platforms/directories helps in the initial stages of ur journey to send signals to the search engines. make sure to check their profile and traffic before listing anywhere some platforms can hurt more than it can help). If u need help with this we provide manual directory submission service to SaaS and AI products (I m the founder of Boringlaunch)
  6. Answer the exact questions your customers ask during sales calls, support conversations, Reddit discussions, and community posts.
  7. Make sure the technical basics are covered. Set up Google Search Console, submit your sitemap, fix indexing problems, improve page speed, and check that important pages are not hidden from search engines.
  8. Track mentions of your brand using tools like Google Alerts. When someone mentions your product without linking to it, reach out politely and ask whether they can add the link.

Note: Share your blogs on social media, Pinterest, newsletters, relevant communities, and anywhere else your audience spends time. This can bring initial traffic, mentions, and sometimes backlinks. Avoid dropping links without context.

Need some extra effort:

  1. Write a few blogs around low-competition keywords. Search volume matters, but do not ignore a keyword just because it has fewer than 100 monthly searches. A low-volume keyword with strong buying intent can still bring customers.
  2. Build topic clusters instead of writing random articles. Choose one important topic, create a strong main guide, and support it with several related articles.
  3. Add customer reviews, expert quotes, examples, screenshots, and first-hand experience to your content. Generic AI-written summaries are becoming easier to ignore.
  4. Find broken links in your niche using seo tools. Create replacement content and reach out to site owners suggesting your link as a fix.
  5. Use SEO tools to check where competitors are getting backlinks. Reach out to relevant websites with better content, original research, a free resource, or another genuine reason to link to you.
  6. Reach out to partners, suppliers, or customers for backlinks. Offer testimonials or case studies in exchange.
  7. Create free tools, templates, checklists, calculators, or datasets related to your product. Useful resources usually earn more links than regular blog posts.
  8. Pitch guest post ideas to blogs in your niche (e.g. search your niche + write for us). Focus on blogs with good traffic and authority.
  9. Create a community on public social platforms like fb group, subreddit, etc. First focus on your category based community like if u are building a productivity tool then productivity is ur category and then be active on it and create a lot of content on it that is useful for people.
  10. Publish original data from your product, surveys, or customer research. Journalists and bloggers are more likely to reference something they cannot find elsewhere.

These tactics are not exciting, and most of them take time. But they worked before AI Overviews and ChatGPT, and they still work because search engines need useful content, trusted websites, and genuine signals from around the web.

Do we need pricing pages for AI agents now?

Saw an interesting idea recently: most pricing pages are still written for humans, but more buyers are now using ChatGPT/AI tools to compare software before they ever visit a website.

So if an AI agent is checking 5 tools in a category and your pricing is hidden behind design, JS, sliders, add-ons, or vague contact sales copy, it might just skip you or recommend someone else.

Some companies are already adding simple pricing. md or pricing. txt files with plain tables for plans, limits, overages, billing terms, and FAQs.

Honestly feels a bit weird, but also kind of obvious.

For SaaS and AI tools, do you think this becomes a normal thing?

Like:

  • normal pricing page for humans
  • simple markdown pricing page for AI agents
  • maybe even a pricing API for usage-based products

Feels like one of those small things that sounds silly now but might become standard later.

The SEO skill nobody talks about

Most people overcomplicate SEO.

The best skill is just learning how to read the search results page.

Tactics change, algorithms change, AI search is changing things too. But there is always someone ranking in the top 10.

Before creating content, look at what Google is already showing.

Are the results listicles, guides, tools, Reddit posts, landing pages, or comparison pages?

That usually tells you what Google thinks people want.

Then figure out the pattern, copy the intent, and make something slightly better.

Better examples, clearer structure, fresher info, more useful screenshots, less fluff.

SEO gets a lot less confusing when you stop chasing hacks and start asking why Google is ranking what it ranks.

Anyone else still doing manual SERP checks before making content?

Anyone here using AI automation for customer support?

I’ve been thinking about setting up AI for basic customer support and FAQs, mostly to save time on repetitive replies. But part of me worries customers immediately notice it’s AI and get annoyed.

For anyone already using it, has it actually improved things or created more problems?

What’s your most unproductive productive habit?

mine is roaming in my room thinking about tasks before actually starting them.

technically nothing is getting done during that time, but weirdly it helps organize my thoughts better than sitting still staring at a screen immediately.

been reading about ai market shifts and the opportunities might not be where most people think

tldr: everyone thinks it's about chatgpt vs claude. the actual story is retail ai agents converting 2x better

Screenshot of ad spend from genai companies (picture source: sensor tower)

i read through some market data on ai and found patterns worth discussing.

everyone talks about chatgpt dropping below 50% market share. claude up 452% yoy. gemini taking android. but looking at where money and adoption actually move, it's different.

retail ai agents are converting way better than expected. and ad spend is exploding:

> chatgpt ads went 7x in two months
> genai ad spend tripled in q1.
> openai and anthropic each increased spend 800%+.

real adoption is happening in specific categories:
> shopping (home & garden, apparel, general shopping)
> software and productivity tools
> food and dining
> financial services
> jobs and education
> travel

these are workflows where ai helps people make informed choices.

for builders:
the opportunities aren't competing with big chat assistants. it's finding specific workflows where ai solves a problem or changes revenue. retail discovery, financial research, travel planning, product recommendations that's where real traction exists. vertical solutions over horizontal.

engagement data backs this. chatgpt users spend 215 minutes per month. that's real usage.

what workflows are you seeing traction in? where is ai solving real problems in your projects?

P.S. adding the detailed report in the first comment if you want to read the full breakdown.
