The entrepreneurial journey is not a straightforward one. Rather it requires the founder to don multiple hats for marketing, sales, ideation, content curation, and raising funds. Solopreneurs of today are being moulded to lead the businesses of tomorrow. And they do require some helping hands in the form of artificial intelligence.
Now, AI is not limited to just ChatGPT. While it's great for non-technical research and soft reading, a solopreneur will require more to make their start-up a success. So, here are five AI tools which will help solopreneurs maximize productivity and reach their ultimate goal- IPO.
1. Postwise
Today social media plays a big role in an entrepreneur's life. People want to have an insight into the thoughts and views of successful entrepreneurs. Take a look at the Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath's LinkedIn or Droom's Instagram page. The key is to connect with the audience. As a one-person army, LinkedIn and X are the ideal platforms to kickstart your journey on social media. And Postwise is just the AI tool for it.
Available at a free trial of five days, Postwise lets you create content, be it a single tweet or a thread, on the choice of your topic. Let's say I want content ideas on "the impact of AI on healthcare data security." The AI will create six options for me to choose from, with one of them being "AI landscapes have grown exponentially, making healthcare data security more crucial than ever/ Good data security is essential for the successful use of AI in healthcare/ Protect patients and their data, so we can keep benefiting from AI in healthcare!"
