Seriously, how did I survive without AI? 😵‍💫 I can't remember who I was before LOL I'm currently using a combination of Chat GPT, Notion AI and Perplexity to write a business plan for my design agency so that I can apply for grants. (Ya girl is BROKE! 🥹) Now I've done a lot of things before but I've never written a business plan before so I asked ChatGPT, which is already personalized with data about me and my business, for help. This was my prompt: "I want to write a business plan for my brand design agency. I've never written a business plan before so I don't know where to start or what elements to include" Of course Chat GPT came through with the goodies. I would share the response but since it's specific to my business, I can't 🤐 ... BUT... I will tell you that it included all the categories or sections to include and explanations for everything. 🎉🎉🥳 I'm going through each section and putting it into Notion where I have literally everything about my business and life and asking it to generate the answers for me, with tweaks of course. Then I'm using perplexity for the parts where I need specific references, like with Market Research and Data. I feel like a complete nerd saying this but I'm actually having a blast doing this because it's so easy and effective! 🥰💃🏾 Just wanted to share with you folks since we're all AI friends here 🤭👋🏾 and I'm including a few GIFs to describe my mood right now!

So I bit the bullet and paid for the basic MJ subscription, I had never used it before but from what I was seeing, I wanted to try so I figured, 10 bucks isn't too bad. Welp...I went and got hooked and in a matter of 3 days went through all my fast hours 😅. Just thought I would share this with a group who might understand and relate. Until next month when I get more hours, I'll be waiting, in fetal position slowly crying until I can feed my addition again LOL...

If you're new here from Design Camp Summit, hiiiii! So glad you found your way to The Launchpad to connect with more creatives that are interested in using AI as a creative co-pilot! Introduce yourself, tell us where you're from and what you do, drop any other questions you might have, share how you're using AI already, or if you're totally new to AI, what you felt like was most impactful from the presentation of the live Q&A!

Wanted to say hello to all of the new members that joined from the Brand Builder Summit! I'm so excited that you decided to check out the Launchpad. I'd love to hear what you do, how you're using AI already and what your biggest takeaway was from my Brand Building with Bots session was for you. PS the classroom is gonna be getting an upgrade with new content later next month, both paid and free stuff, so know that's coming! Also, share your favorite gif, becuase gifs are fun and so is this place! :)
