He Replaced His Friend’s Mum With AI in 80 Minutes

💬 Tom Osman tweets…

I spent 1h 20m replacing my friends mum with AI.

He elaborates…

A family friend of ours has a successful business running Tours in London.

It’s a good business but the problem is that his mum who runs the show is tied to her desk, answering calls then manually entering the bookings into her booking software.

🤖 That’s when…

I built a voice assistant in SynthflowAI to take the calls instead so she never has to do it manually ever again.

The assistant knows everything about her business and will be able to make the bookings over the phone with zero human input.

On the off chance there’s something it can’t answer, the call gets routed to her mobile.

Synthflow AI is impressive, lets you build “human-like conversational AI voice assistants” … check out the video demo on their homepage 👈

Along the same lines, there’s this tweet from Max Brodeur-Urbas…

A YC batch-mate was quoted $16k from a consultant for a custom AI invoice processor

Their intern built it in 2 hours on Gumloop.

GPT-4o now: 

– Analyzes any receipt sent to their Gmail
– Extracts vendor + amount
– Categorizes it
– Adds it to their Notion DB
– Texts their finance admin

Gumloop is a drag-and-drop automations builder, powered by AI.

I reckon one of the best online business opportunities right now is to become an AI Automation Consultant 😎

You’d basically practice using tools like ChatGPT, Synthflow and Gumloop until you have basic competence, then get out there and find clients, help them increase efficiency and cut down on costs.

As you work with those clients you’d likely stumble across recurring issues that could lead you to create a productized service or SaaS solution (ie. a much more scalable business) 📈
