Are you ready to have your mind blown!? I recently used Google’s new NotebookLM to create a “Deep Dive Podcast” for one of my clients, and it was mind-blowing! It only took a few minutes to generate a highly convincing 10-15 minute podcast—without any prompting. That's right. NO PROMPTING! I simply exported a PDF of my client's chat logs from Fastbots AI, uploaded it to NotebookLM, and let the Google AI do the rest. The result was an impartial audio review of the chat logs, featuring insightful conversations between a male and female voice. The AI even revealed new insights and suggestions that sparked ideas my client hadn’t considered. It’s perfect for clients who might not read a 40-page PDF but would happily listen to a podcast on their way to the office or between meetings. I’m considering offering this podcast audio review service for free once per quarter—none of your competitors are doing this yet! 😄 How to Do It: 1. Head to NotebookLM and log in with your Google ID. 2. Look for the “Notebook Guide” in the lower-right corner (easy to overlook if you’re not sure where to find it). 3. Upload your content—PDFs, chat logs, etc.—and let NotebookLM generate a podcast or other content like FAQs and Briefs for website updates or further chatbot training and optimization. Note: With minor editing skills, you could easily add some background music, intro and exit bumpers, and add this deep dive podcast to your favorite podcast and video platforms as appropriate. Pro Tip: NotebookLM is in high demand with creators using it for SEO content, so it may take a little longer right now, but it's worth the wait! If you haven’t explored this yet, give it a try and take your client engagement to the next level. 🌟

It was only a matter of time before developers jumped on this, and now there's some software that allows you to set up inbound and outbound calls with AI powered sales agents. Watch the live demo at: https://youtu.be/cCKPf9RcFoI The use cases for this are mind blowing. You can connect it up to call anyone who fills out a Facebook Lead form for example. 💰 Have a watch and let me know below what you might use this for in your business. Cheers Jason 🫡 PS: Here's my link to try out the Voice Calls software if you would like to: https://JasonWest.com/synthflow

FROM OPENAI: GPT-4o mini is our most advanced small model, and our cheapest model yet (60% cheaper than GPT-3.5 Turbo and more intelligent, but just as fast). We have just extended access to fine-tuning for GPT-4o mini to all paid customers on API usage tiers 1-5. Now through September 23, fine-tuning is free (up to 2 million training tokens per day).

Sometimes, consumers never make it to your client's website. They’re engaging within communities like Facebook, and so that’s exactly where your client's chatbot needs to be. We initially used FastBots with Zapier to automate Facebook Page Messenger responses for our clients. It was effective, but there was a short delay (usually a few seconds or less). Occasionally, we received emails about random errors from Zapier, due to content length, or something else, resulting in ignored users. However, FastBots has now launched its direct integration with Facebook Messenger, making it faster than ever. So far, we haven't encountered any instances of users not receiving immediate responses. Setting it up is straightforward: 1. Log into your Fastbots account. 2. Select your bot and navigate to 'Integrations' in the lower left menu. 3. Click on 'Messenger' and connect it to your Facebook account. 4. Select the appropriate page for responses. That’s it! It works seamlessly. (Note: I had to use Safari because Chrome settings blocked the pop-up for authentication.) This new integration with FastBots saves you $29.99/month on a basic Zapier subscription (if you're not using it for other things) and an hour or two of setup and troubleshooting. FastBots is incredibly user-friendly and continually introduces new features. I’m excited to see what’s next!
