A presentation in April 2025
Artificial Intelligence, is it for me?
Sooner or later our businesses will be shaped to some degree by A.I. Like all new technology, it can appear to be a daunting prospect; balancing the need to be on board without incurring prohibitive investments costs. There are however smaller steps that can be taken now, yielding very real and immediate benefits for companies wanting to experience A.I. without going “all in”.

The Old Way
Use GPT, to research and search for everything.
The content from the presentation with links below.
Your job is at risk, if the other company is using AI and your company is not.
If you use AI as part of your daily functions, your job is more secure as you are more efficient and valuable in your own role.
What is AI? It’s not Michael Jacksons voice box connected to a car battery to make music. The quality of the work behind the interface is what makes the computational magic, It’s all code.
But here’s the truth: AI is code. A script, written by a cluster of developers, running in the cloud.
AI Scheduling Features
And yes, for £20 a month for ChatGPT and the “Deep Research” mode is worth every penny. You say you want to know everything about, such as a competitor like “Monty Freight”… it will tell you more than their own accountant could.
Your Team, Their Shifts, and Why It Matters
One of the first practical use cases of AI I shared was a system I built where each team member receives:
-
Their name
-
Their weekly shift rota
-
A plain-English explanation of why that shift benefits both them and the team
Each staff member gets their own unique email – also, a separate document exported and bundled together into one big PDF for managers. It makes scheduling clearer and more personal.
Bots, Agents, and What Actually Works
There’s a lot of hype about AI agents – you’ll hear terms like “reactive agents” and “multi-agent systems” being thrown around. Basically, you can have bots that do a task or pass jobs to each other like a production line. Sounds clever, but most of it? Still very clunky, grey, vague, and not fit for your average warehouse or logistics firm. Don’t buy the snake oil.
The magic is in:
-
How well it’s prompted
-
How well it’s customised for your business
How You Can Do This – Without Being a Coder
Go to ChatGPT (top right, click the “+” to make a new GPT)
Go to Settings → Customise ChatGPT
Tell it who you are (e.g., “I run a WordPress and logistics automation business”)
Add what kind of results you want (e.g., British spelling, business-focused outputs)
Tip: Always pick the right GPT version – some are better at writing, others are better at code, voice, or research.
Using GPT – to write the prompt, to make code.
You can use ChatGPT to hammer out a working model, then have it write the code to fully automate.
Do not let someone sell you something that sounds like it could fit within your business,
Find and define what repetitive tasks are occurring and support staff to be released to more interesting and progressive jobs within the business – Automate the easy.
Manual data entry is so 2020 – stop it, no more mistakes and yes, it can make intuitive decisions that you might not think it can do. It can be a genius if you educate it.
Your Settings
Click the image top right in ChatGPT to access and change your settings.
Tell it about you, what you use GPT for and your quirks, nuances and keep re-visiting this to make global changes to suit how you want to work with ChatGPT ongoing.
The right version.
ChatGPT for Families? Try This Tonight
This isn’t just business – if you’ve got kids, go home and do this:
“Write me a bedtime story for an 8-year-old. Make it about [child’s name] and their friend [friend’s name] going on an adventure.”
It’ll blow your mind. I do this with my son Harry – we even tweak the plot with him. It’s become a lovely, interactive part of our evening.
The Tale of Lenny the Lizard and Penny the Puffin
Once upon a time, in a quiet cove where the forest met the sea, lived a lizard named Lenny and a puffin named Penny.
Lenny was fast — he could run up tree trunks and leap between rocks like lightning. But he couldn’t swim. He was terrified of water.
Penny, on the other hand, could dive deep and fly high — but she had never been more than a mile inland. She was afraid of the dark woods, where strange shadows lived and twigs snapped when no one was there.
One day, the Great Storm came. The sea thrashed, the trees groaned, and the animals of the cove scattered in every direction.
When the wind calmed, Penny realised something awful: her little brother, Pip, was missing. His nest was empty, and a trail of feathers led into the forest.

Maximize AI Customization
Harness the Power of AI Without Coding
Unlock the full potential of AI tools by customizing them to fit your unique business needs. Start by defining your objectives and desired outcomes. Use platforms like ChatGPT to tailor responses and outputs. Experiment with different settings and prompts to see what works best for your goals. Remember, you don’t need to be a coder to make AI work for you—just a bit of creativity and strategic thinking can go a long way. Embrace the technology and watch your business thrive.
What are Bots and Agents?
An AI agent is a system that can perceive its environment, process information, and take actions to achieve specific goals. It can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously, making decisions based on data, rules, or learned patterns. AI agents are used in various applications, from customer service chatbots to warehouse automation and business process optimisation
