Set up ChatGPT for your business in 30 minutes

The problem

Most owners try an AI chatbot once, get a generic answer that doesn't sound like their business, and give up before it saves them any time.

How AI solves it

Spend one 30-minute session setting it up properly: pick one assistant, sign up with your business email, check the data/training setting, add custom instructions describing your business and voice, and have the AI interview you to build a one-page business fact sheet you paste into future chats. Then test it on five real tasks: a customer email, review replies, a week of social posts, a document summary and a checklist.
