Review the Transcript:
Colie: Hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Business First Creatives. My Real life bestie, Kate Hyde is back on the podcast today. If you missed our first episode, it was amazing. It was episode 1 0 1 and we talked all about what your website really needs. And in this episode, we are really gonna pivot to something that both of us, dare I say, are absolutely obsessed with at the moment, and that is ai.
Kate. Hello. Welcome back to the podcast. I love you.
Kate: having me. Love you too.
Colie: So guys, we have nothing planned. We were literally on, I think it was Voxer. We were on Voxer recently and she was building AI tools. I was building AI tools and I was like, um, let’s have a podcast episode about it. So that is why she is here. So Kate, why don’t you just say a little bit about how you got into first using AI in your own business and then perhaps why you are now pivoting to actually use them for your clients and also build tools.
Kate: Yeah, I. Was a pretty early adopter with ai, though I will say like Rich started playing with it first, my husband, and was writing stories for the kids in the Voice of Elmo for like, but like in like. Angry Elmo. I don’t know. It was funny. And I was like, what is the use case for this for me? But I have found so many use cases for it.
From writing things to creating images, to editing videos. I use it in my podcast and YouTube editor to script a lot. There’s so many different ways that I use AI now beyond just having it write things for me. And then in. Using it for my clients. I created my first custom GPT to help my clients write their website copy because I could see like that my clients could answer all of these questions and then there could be a way to turn that into formatted, frameworks that would easily make that process so much less stressful of like writing their copy.
So basically my clients answer a bunch of questions including like, um. Market research questions, like who their competitors are, things like that. And then my tool takes that and turns it into website copy and you can kind of talk back and forth with it and edit it and it’s such a cool thing. So that was my very first tool.
I’ve made more tools since then. And my clients love that. Like that one is such a big hit with my students in brand base camp, my website program. So, yeah, it’s been fun playing with them.
Colie: So I was a very late adopter. Everyone. Just so that you know, I just wanna very quickly say that I’ve had a couple people on the podcast talking about AI tools before, particularly for photographers, and we usually go the route of this is what AI can do for you in your editing. Kate and I are just not gonna bother with that because first of all, I mean, I guess she uses it in her photography business, but I don’t.
And so I think that we’re kind of getting beyond that. But I first had an inkling of a tool and it wasn’t gonna be AI driven. I have a lot of workshop, uh, workflow recipes. As I like to call them, and I just thought that there was a better way where if people answered questions, I could kind of use logic in order to get their workflows done.
And then when I heard Kate talking about GPTs, I was like, I could just make chat GPT do it. And so I did that. I love that tool and it’s amazing. And then I got absolutely obsessed with making more and more and more, and I feel like once you get the hang of it.
It seems so overwhelming to make yourself a tool, but like now I’m not only using them for my students, like I recently created myself a brand new tool where it will take the strategy calls that I have with my clients that last anywhere from two to four hours, and it summarizes it. It gives me the action plan, it gives me the tasks that I assign them, the tasks that I said I would do, the assets that needed to be produced, and just today.
I realized that every time I have a question in my head and I’m like, oh, I should go reread the transcript. I’m just asking my GPT that question, and it goes and finds the answer. Like, I wrote an email for my client this morning and then I fed it into that tool, and I said, okay, can you go back and compare exactly what we said we would add in this email on the strategy call and make sure I didn’t miss anything.
It basically showed it to me as a checklist. Nope, you did this. Nope, you did this. I might suggest that you change this line. And I was just like, I’m in love with you.
Kate: Yeah,
Colie: married, but I would marry one of my tools if I could.
Kate: it just makes it so much easier to see things that you could easily miss otherwise, so it’s a big, big helper for me.
Colie: Yeah. Okay. So you’ve got these tools and you’re making them, and now you’re making more of them. So what. What’s the first thing that someone has to do when they’re thinking of making an AI tool first for their own business? And I know that a lot of people will be like, oh, I want it to write for me. And yes, you can get Chachi PT to write for you.
You can make it sound better and like you. But like beyond having that, what is it that you think about when you are like, Ooh, this is my idea for a new tool. Let me run out and make it.
Kate: Yeah, if I’m making a tool for myself to use, it’s typically something that I’m doing over and over again, so I like if I have a prompt that I’m using over and over again, I will turn that into just a custom GPT. I have a prompt for like writing subject lines and preview text for emails. That is always a task that just like, like I don’t enjoy doing it.
And it bogs me down, slows me down. So I made a GPT that takes the, like, set of rules that I have for preview texts and subject lines, put it into the GPT and then I can just feed at my email and it gives me 10 suggestions of headlines or of subject lines and, the preview text and I can mix and match and talk back and forth to it.
So usually it’s something like that where there’s like something that. I’m doing over and over again. That’s weighing me down. And how can I make that better? Um, the tool that I’m currently making is like, this is like beyond, I’m building an app basically that takes all of my emails from kit.com and pulls them into an Airtable database so that I can better track things, analytics, and all of that stuff because there’s not really a way to easily like take all of that data and pull it somewhere else.
Um, so I’m building it.
Colie: And you sent me the link and I downloaded it and I was immediately like, oh my God, this is amazing. Is it gonna continue to pull my data in? What else can I do with it? And you were like, okay, hold on. That was just step one. There are going to be more steps, but before we like go towards that app, because I thought that app was totally cool.
It was like, it was just one thing that you, you know, a question that you have and I was literally saying a week ago, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t say it to you, I said it to someone else, how difficult it is to track things in Kit. I was actually thinking of switching to Drip because I am tired of not being able to see like what my open rates are and stuff for one particular sequence.
Like it just drives me insane that they have all of this data. On my emails and I have no way to like get at it. It drives me insane. But you mentioned rules, and I wanna come back to this because. I think that’s what I find hardest and I think it’s what you find easiest. So I just wanna kind of like pick your brain for a second.
So you said that you created a tool that helped you write subject lines and preview text, but how did you determine what those rules should be or what the format was or what the idea was in order to create subject lines that you like? Because to me, I’m just like, talk like me. And that’s not enough of a rule or a framework to get chat GPT to do it for me.
So how do you, how do you come up with rules?
Kate: Yeah, so for subject lines and preview tech specifically, like it doesn’t really need to sound so much like you, it needs to sound, catchy. It needs to be something that’s gonna get somebody to open the email. So what I did in that instance was went into a tool called Perplexity, which is a search engine that’s AI powered as well.
And I asked it to find best practices for. Subject lines and email texts and I looked through them, compiled them into, one list and fed that to my tool. So it’s a way that you can do like that deeper research and combine knowledge and expertise from many different people into one thing, and then turn it into a tool.
Colie: I do feel the need to say, although ka, although Kate and I. You’re talking about chat gpt. That is not the only AI tool. There is Claude, there is perplexity, there are all of these other tools, and some of them do some tasks better than others. Like you said, research perplexity is much better at research than chat.
GPT is, but so you asked it for best practices and it gave you this list. When you plugged in, like you said that you went through ’em and you kind of chose them, but when you fed that in the chat, GPT, what did you think of the first set of subject lines and preview texts that it gave you?
Kate: It’s honestly pretty good because of the way that the rules are written like it’s giving me, I’m asking for different. Types of subject lines in preview texts. Like there’s so many different ways that you can make a subject blind compelling. It can be like a one word subject line. I can do one that’s a question, one that’s an open loop, one that is like mysterious or whatever.
So like having those different types of subject lines within my set of rules and within what I like researched, helped with that. So I get really a good variety of things. And then back to like the voice part of it. It’s pulling the subject line from the body of my email so it knows how I talk and what I’m talking about in that email, and so it is in my voice technically there too.
Colie: You didn’t have to do any additional like iterations or changes to the rules or, yeah. See, she’s so much better at this than me, guys. I feel like my strength when I’m creating my GPTs is when it gives me something I am adamant about, basically telling it what it did wrong. And then it’s always better and better.
But I think that I’m not starting out in the same like amazing place that Kate is. Maybe because she’s been playing with it longer. I don’t know.
Kate: Well, and I usually go into it like with a pretty, good outcome idea. Like you have to have a goal for what you want from it to get that. That outcome and kind of like what the, the steps are that it needs to get there. I have some that it took me a long time to, like my copywriting one, that’s a big. GPT, like it writes your whole website copy. It’s basing it off of my frameworks and my templates, sets of rules that I’ve given it for how to write. So that one definitely took me a lot longer to tweak and refine. But like the subject line one pretty easy. I have one that’s for like repurposing content and that took me a couple of tweaks to make sure that I was getting enough from it.
Because it could just like, here’s how you make this an Instagram post. But I wanted it to be more, I wanted it to look at the content that I was feeding it from different perspectives from how could we like zoom in on this topic or zoom out on this topic? How could we look at it from the perspective of this buyer type versus that buyer type?
So just like refining as you go is definitely a big piece of it.
Colie: And I am so excited. Courtney Fanning is gonna be on the podcast in a few weeks talking about. Or personas, and I’m literally just, I’m so interested because as I start like tweaking my sales pages and doing all of these things, I, I am now much more aware than I think I’ve ever been, that when you are writing copy, whether it is a podcast script or an email or a website page, you really have to think outside of yourself, like you have your.
How you like to buy and what information you think you should communicate. But then on the back end of that, not everyone is like you. And so you do have to take that into consideration that it is more about the person that you’re talking to than you. And so I think that that’s a perfect example of how these gpt can help you, like consider all of the options and then you can choose one that like helps you the most.
Kate: Yeah. Well, and being able to also, like as an educator, look at it from the perspective of someone who’s brand new to this versus like you’re coming into to something that you’re teaching and you have background knowledge that the people you’re teaching don’t have. So like being able to say, okay, here’s my lesson.
Where are my people who are brand new going to get lost? Or like, what words do I need to change that, will help them understand? And same link even for a photographer, like if you’re putting in a piece of, or like you’re writing a caption or writing a sales page or writing an email and you’re using words that you people aren’t using, you’re gonna lose them.
So you can pop those into GPTs and say, like, think about my, um, ideal client and what, what’s not gonna make sense to them here.
Colie: And I don’t know that I’ve actually thought about this in terms of making a GPT to write your copy for you, but I just got back from Creative Educators Conference and I was there with our friend Maddie Peshong, and she said this really weird thing, and it’s kind of stuck in my head, and now I’m realizing it.
This is what I need to do to my GPT. She said that when she was writing emails, now, she realized that she was in a much different head space. Than her students, which I mean, we all agree when you’re an educator, you’re steps ahead of your students. But she said that, you know, it was really eyeopening to go back and read emails that she had written when she was greener because it put her back in the mindset of what it was like in the beginning of her starting branding photography.
And so I’m just now thinking like I should go back through. All of the blog posts, all of the emails that I wrote when I first was introduced to CRMs and first started teaching them because the way that I think about them then is not how I think about it now, but that language might help me identify ways that I should speak to my current audience, who might be in the beginning stages of using systems and CRMs like I was all those years ago.
Kate: Yeah, and honestly I would probably just, scrape them. From, like, I use a tool, I can’t remember exactly what it’s called, but it’s like pulls all of the text off of a webpage and puts it in a text document. , it’s just a plugin from Chrome. And I would take that and scrape those blog posts and feed them into a GPT and say, these are the ones I wrote when I was new.
Here’s what I wrote. Now where, where are things different? And help me analyze that.
Colie: Analyze? Yes. Help me analyze it. Okay. Let’s talk about your tool now that you made, because I was interested in using this particular software or this application. I don’t know which one’s the proper one to use, but I was interested and then you sent it to me and I got even more motivated. So tell me about the process of making this new tool that is taking all of your kit emails and basically putting them in a format to where you can put them in Airtable.
Kate: So it’s, it’s evolved a little since I’ve sent you the first version. That one was like really just pulling stuff from Kit and putting it into a CSV file, and then you could upload that into your Airtable. Now I’ve moved on and I am actually building the app within Kit. So within the kit marketplace, I never could have coded, like I don’t know how to code.
That’s not. If anything I’ve ever done, Like, I mean, I get some of the language with it, but like. I don’t wanna spend all my time learning that. So the tool that I’m using to build the app is called Lovable. And it’s, it’s really like a chat. Like I tell it I want to do this, how do I do it? And it builds it for me.
, I do go back and forth with chat, GPT or Claude. Things are having problems and get more information because sometimes like one tool gets limited in its thinking and you have to expand it to other tools to get more ideas. But really it’s a conversation of like, here’s what I want. Here’s the steps that I need to happen and how do we make it work?
And it will ask me questions, I’ll give it more information, and it just keeps going and it’s testing and iterating.
Colie: I don’t think I ever thought that I would talk that much to ai. Like I feel like I, like recently, I feel like I wake up every morning and as I’m building tools and as I’m creating. New things. I mean, I spend like two hours going back and forth with my AI versus having a conversation with you on Voxer.
Kate: Yep.
Colie: So I mean, it’s pretty productive, but I mean, like, wow.
Kate: Well, and like, I like, this is totally not tool related, but like I, if I’m listening to a podcast or some kind of like audio training and I get great ideas for it, I will go into my chat, GBT and like use the audio like record voice memo function and just like spew all of my ideas and have it format them into a list for me.
Um, and help me figure out which ones are more actionable. Which ones make sense for me, and then I’ve got the other ones there for when I’m ready to deal with it.
Colie: Yeah, I mean I don’t, I don’t even think that it’s the coolest thing that I did, but it’s the last thing I mentioned on the podcast. I recently had an episode come out where I was obsessed with Jen Green’s framework for freebies mini, medium, and large, and I basically. Took that original podcast, fed it in, had it grab her framework, and then analyze all of my freebies too. Help me figure out where I had gaps. And then the second thing that I did, I mean even two days later, was I took the email, freebie that I was obsessed with changing. And I was like, you know what? I think I even wanna make this more actionable for people. So I created a whole three day challenge, which is going to be live soon, and I iterated a mini course to finally teach people how to write emails that sound like you for your client experience.
So I never would’ve gotten as far as I did if I hadn’t been in line at Costco going back and forth with the chat GPT app as I stood there and waited like, okay, no, I’m thinking about this. Okay, no, you got that wrong. I mean, just, I love having conversations with AI now.
Kate: Yeah. Yeah, it really does help me like brainstorm and get out of my own head.
Colie: Okay, so you mentioned that that was a tool that you were building and lovable, and now you’re gonna put it in like the kit marketplace like Kate. How the fuck do you do that?
Kate: It’s telling me how and chat GPT is helping me too. I, and like some of it is still confusing, but I will like, find documentation on kid’s website and use that text scraper to pull it into another tool or whatever to like get more detail, or like find things that I think might help. Lovable, figure it out or whatever.
So that, that’s been, that’s been that process. There are other ways that you can build tools though, like that are way less complicated. For example, I have one that builds a, like marketing field guide for you. So you basically, again, answer a bunch of questions about your business and it. We’ll then take that form from Airtable.
Colie: an Airtable
Kate: it’s a, yep, it’s an Airtable form. and then I’m using this program called Make that takes that form, and pulls all of the fields into a prompt that then is fed to chat GBT and then chat. GPT feeds it or the tool uses. Feeds it from chat GPT back to Airtable. And then in Airtable I have automations that create it into a document and email it to the person.
So lots of like different ways that you could use this beyond getting like really into like the weeds of building apps. Like that’s like, that’s, that’s a little extreme, but like that make, um, tool make.com is really easy to use and it’s just like dragging and dropping things and, um. It’s pretty self explanatory.
Colie: Okay, so like what’s your end goal? Because here’s the thing, I knew where you were going when you made your tool to write websites that was making your services faster. It was making it easier for you to write, you know, to create their websites and make sure that they had decent copy. Then you put that for sale so that other people could buy it and use it.
Like I understood that, but like where are you going with these other new tools? Like, first of all, do you have any for sale or, I don’t even know if you sell them there, but like the GPT store or whatever it’s called. Do you have any in there?
Kate: I don’t have any in the GPT store because the, like pay structure is so unclear that I’m like, eh, I’d rather market it myself and sell it myself. Um, I have them mostly included within. Courses and programs that I offer. So, um, my website writer ai is available on its own or with a template or with, brand base camp.
And then I have the, marketing field guide. It’s a $9 offer. You can get that for nine bucks, build your, and, and for like on my end. Someone’s paying me $9 to get one field guide. They’re not getting access to that tool all the time. They’re filling out their form and then it’s providing them with the field guide and a mood board, which is really cool too.
I love those AI mood boards. I think they’re so fun to give you ideas of like colors and fonts and stuff. But, then the repurposing bot is in my blogging program. Like they’re just all kind of built in that way. This one that I’m building, for kit. It’s just a one off. I like, I’m not gonna do this again.
But
Colie: I wondered, I mean, ’cause again, I can understand the other ones. It is tools as part of the things that you are already selling in your business, whether it’s a service or a course program or a digital product. But I was like, she’s over here making this kit thing. Like, is she gonna like sell that?
And if so, what else is she gonna start selling
Kate: Mostly I, like I told my mom yesterday, I was like, I don’t know I’m doing this, but I like, I wanted it for myself and.
Colie: when I want it, I also want it.
Kate: Yeah. So, I think that other people will want it as well, and like my goal now, like it’s, it’s definitely evolved. It’s pulling in your emails, it’s pulling in your sequences, and it’s pulling in your subscribers.
So hopefully it’s working at some point. And. I liked the idea of being able to put it in the kit, uh, marketplace and have people find it there. So it’s something that I can build, but I don’t really necessarily have to market.
Colie: Yes. Okay. Let’s take one step back. So you also are starting a new, do I call it a membership? What? A subscription, what is it called?
Kate: I, I’m going with, uh, membership. I think I like, I’ve done a lot of back and forth on this, but it’s a monthly, gonna be called something Learning Lab, working on the name still. But it is an offer where you pay once a month and you get access to, uh. Like a group coaching call, q and a kind of call.
You get a prompt, like an email with a prompt what’s working in AI now, and you get a, strategy session every month teaching you something AI related. How to use AI to make your business better or make your life in your business better.
Colie: Hmm. I mean, and is it geared towards, I mean, ’cause you know, I’m always like photographers, photographers. Photographers, but that’s not your intention. So who is it geared for? Just all business owners, all small business
Kate: Yeah, it’s geared towards those solopreneurs or people who have maybe a small team, so people who maybe would love to hire out some tasks but don’t have the budget or the time to train somebody.
And just need something like quick. There are so many ways that I use ai. We’ve talked about it a lot here. All of the different ways that I use it and I see people. Only using it to write their captions. And it’s like, no, but you could do so much more and save yourself so much. Like I use it to code websites.
I use it to, be my coach. I use it to help me again, see like things from different perspectives or get those brain dumps out and organize tasks. There’s just so many ways that you can use it that, I want other business owners to, to experience that as well.
Colie: Yeah, I mean today’s use where I was going back and forth from the strategy call so I can finish this setup. I was like, I don’t know why I haven’t thought of this before. Like I am like writing notes. I am, no, I think I am done writing notes. My first thing that I’m gonna do now is take the strategy call and I will say.
Guys, there are already tools that exist that you could probably get to do what you want, but the value in creating your own tools and your own GPT is that it’s giving you the output that you want without the back and forth. Because what I’ve described earlier is exactly what Fathom does. Like it gives you your action items, it gives you, but the problem is it’s not giving it to me in a format that I can use.
Like one of the things that I said, because on my strategy calls, I am literally iterating emails. As copy, and they’re really good when I say them out loud, but then I have to go and actually write them. So the one of the prompts is if I said I was going to write any emails and I iterated the copy, please list those along with the copy that goes in it.
I mean, that is just taking what I’ve already said and putting it in a format to where I’m like, okay. Now I just have to add a little bit here, and that email is done. And it’s the same thing of going back and forth like I never would’ve thought to ask the ai, okay, I know that we talked about this and I can’t remember what the final decision was.
Can you tell me what the final decision was and tell me exactly what I said would go in it? And it did. And it was so much easier than me trying to go through a four hour strategy call in order to find the answers.
Kate: Yeah, and like you used to be able to just like search the transcript and find like the time and then you could. Listen to it, but it still is taking you so much more time that now you can spend actually finishing the service than sitting there and researching more and more and more. But yeah, those, and those custom tools, like being able to pull your knowledge into something and create, create an output from it is like priceless.
Colie: It’s priceless. I, I mean, what, what used to be that thing where it’s priceless and for everything else, there’s MasterCard. I can’t remember what I mean, you and I are both old enough to remember those ads, but I mean, I do feel like that is totally describing AI right now.
Kate: Absolutely. Well, and like it’s not, it’s not just for educators. It’s not just for like people that are teaching or, wanna build tools for students. You can use it, in your business in so many different ways as like if you’re a photographer, we kind of touched on this before we got on the call, like a wedding photographer could build a tool that helps build timelines.
So if you like have a certain way you like to do things, you could ask your clients to fill out a form that gives a set questions and then it would populate your timeline. I know wedding photographers spend a lot of time on that. Brand photographers being able to like, give it details about a brand and help you.
Brainstorm different shot ideas, things like that. Like there’s just so much that you can do.
Colie: Yeah. Kate, this was amazing. I feel like if we scheduled a chat about this next quarter, we would have completely new things to talk about. You and I would’ve probably each built three or four tools that are now, but do you have any closing thoughts on AI and how can people join your list to get the new AI prompt freebie?
Kate: Yeah, so the freebie is at dear Kate branch strategy.com/ai weekly, all one word. It’s five prompts that I use every week in my business. You’ll get my prompt for subject lines and preview text in there, so you can take that prompt and build your own GBT. You’ll get one. That helps you look at copy, images, whatever from different perspectives.
You’ll get one that helps you organize your brain dumps. There’s five of them there and I can never remember all of them, but, they’re good prompts and they’re like beefy. They’re beyond, that just like, write this for me, , kind of thing.
And like you were saying, we could have this conversation again and it would be totally different. And that’s why the offer that I’m working on, that AI offer is a subscription membership style. Because you are gonna need something new next month. You can’t learn it all. And I wanna break it down into bite-size things for you so that you can take action on using these tools and get ’em working for you.
Colie: I mean, you sent me the prompts and I was in Dallas, so I haven’t had a chance to play with them, but that organize your brain dump. I’m immediately gonna go try that one because one of the things it created that content hub and Airtable was so that all the ideas could go in one place. I’m still really scared to go through my notes app for everywhere that I used to dump before.
I think I’m gonna go and pull that in and stick it in and see what pops out out of, you know, two years of like, this is what I should think about. This is a good idea for an email. All the things that I’ve put in my notes that I don’t actually ever do anything with.
Kate: Yeah, well in that like that’s why I love Airtable so much because I can download all of my content into A CSV and then put that CSV in my AI tool and that, like we talked a lot about chat, GBT, like you said, but um, because the reason we talk about chat gb t so much is because you can build those custom gts.
I love Claude. Almost as much. And now it has access to the internet too, it didn’t use to. So that is an awesome tool as well. And with Claude, what I use is called projects. So if you’re not trying to like share your tool with somebody else, you just would use a project in Claude. You can also use projects in chat GPT, and that’s basically like creating a set of threads that all have the same knowledge base.
Colie: Yes. I have been really using projects. I mean, I find it, I find it a little cumbersome to like organize all of the different chat. And one thing that I’m gonna say, listening audience, in case you find yourself creating a project and you’re like, oh, what? I had that conversation like a month ago. I really wish it was in this project.
You can click the three buttons and move it to a project just in case you, you don’t know that. Those of you that are listening, I have started doing that with like all of the things that I created before. There were projects but that are now related to things that I have project. So like I have a project that’s all related to my course.
I have a project that’s related to every project that I have in the system shop. I have a project that’s related to all of my podcast episodes. Like I like everything to be together because then it knows all of the things inside that project and you don’t end up getting. Repeat stuff from it because that is a problem if you’re doing individual conversations.
Kate: Yeah, that is definitely, I used projects, so projects came out in Claude before they did in chat GPT and I used it. To do my blogging mini course. ’cause I had content, I had all of this content and I basically just needed to reformat it into a course, um, altogether. And that was huge. That helped me so much and made it go a lot faster.
Colie: Okay, so what you’re saying is the email course, the mini course that I just ideated in chat, GPTI should take all that and stick it in clot and see if it does something different. That’s what you’re
Kate: Well, and take like every, like go look for everything you’ve ever talked about, about email. And put it in there and it, it will help you analyze what you’ve talked about in the past and find those key messaging points that you wanna make sure you don’t miss.
Colie: Okay. I now have homework. Kate, thanks for coming back on the podcast. We gotta figure out another conversation that we can have next quarter. It might not be AI guys. We’ll figure out something else. But Kate will be back soon.
Kate: Well, thanks for having me. It was fun.
Colie: All right, everyone. That’s it for this episode. See you next time. All.
