So I finally convinced you that you can’t ignore AI… and you’re ready to implement it in your toy business. Go you. Love that for you. 👏🏾

But before you go trying to haphazardly plug AI into every little task, you need to build your AI foundation.

Your AI foundation is a series of files, records, strategy, and frameworks that you as a business use on a day-to-day basis. You may already have it documented somewhere, living in your head, or is just something your team knows how to execute.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down exactly:

  • What you need to document
  • How to pull that information together
  • What you’re actually going to use it for
  • And how to use it to benefit your process TODAY.

I’m also sharing a tool I made that will help you build this foundation a whole lot faster.

I know I say this all the time, but… DO NOT miss this episode!

Key Moments:

  • 01:00 – Why you cannot layer AI on top of messy data and undocumented processes
