I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. There's a lot of AI content doing the rounds right now. "This AI platform just killed this industry." "Create 30 days of content in 30 minutes." Step by step guides with a follow me & comment below for a free resource that never actually arrives.

I tried one of these recently. A detailed step-by-step showing how to connect one of the big AI tools to Instagram, analyse your content and you could then grow your following & increase your engagement.

Followed it exactly & got stuck straight away! Instagram doesn't allow that kind of access without using additional third-party tools that weren't mentioned anywhere in the original post.

For someone just getting started with AI, content like this can feel overwhelming & put you off trying or even getting started. It’s like everyone else has figured something out that you haven't. Like you're already behind.

Most of the time that's not what's happening it’s the information or how to do it that’s just missing a few important details.

AI is genuinely useful for small businesses. But the version being sold online right now sometimes skips the part where it's a bit more than the 60 second video or carousel post makes it look.

Are you using AI regularly, occasionally, or still not sure about it?

Let me know in the comments below & maybe I can help you.

AI Tip

Something AI is genuinely useful for is simplifying your message.

If something feels too heavy, too technical or too dense, paste it in and ask:

"Rewrite this so a small business owner can understand it quickly."

This works particularly well for technical services, policy content, AI tools, energy, finance, legal-style copy and complex offers.

Sometimes the clearest version of your message is the one you couldn't write yourself because you're too close to it.

Is there something in your business that you've been struggling to explain simply?

Let me know in the comments.

Counting down to England vs Croatia in Dallas tonight at 9pm.

We’ve had four years of near misses; 2018 semi-final heartbreak, 2022 quarter-finals, the UEFA EURO 's final in 2024.

This group knows more than others what it feels like to get close.

Did you know this is the first AI FIFA World Cup?

The match ball has a sensor inside it tracking every touch in real time, feeding data directly to the VAR system.

Every player has a 3D digital twin when an offside call is made, AI generates the animation you see on screen automatically.

Using AI makes offside decisions clearer. Tonight, in our opening match that might matter quite a lot.

One Nation | One Team | One Dream.

Come on England.

Top AI Tip!

One of the most practical uses of AI: getting more out of content you've already created.

One blog post can be repurposed to become:

- a LinkedIn post
- three Instagram captions
- an email
- a carousel outline
- a short video script
- five quote posts
- an FAQ section

You've already done the thinking.

AI helps you reshape it for different platforms and formats without starting from scratch each time.

What's a piece of content you could repurpose this week?

Have you noticed how the conversation around AI has shifted lately?

"AI is no longer a single breakthrough or application. It is essential infrastructure."
— Jensen Huang, Founder & CEO of

A year or two ago, AI felt like something extra. A clever add-on. Now it's being talked about more like broadband or electricity, less "a thing you use" and more "a thing that's just there."

For small businesses, that shift matters. It's the difference between AI being on your to-do list and AI being part of how your business actually runs.

You don't need to change how you do everything overnight. But it's worth being honest with yourself about where you currently sit.

So, the question is:

Are you using AI regularly, occasionally, or still not sure about it?

Something that tends to make AI more useful: ask for options, not just one answer.

One response is rarely enough to work from.

Ask for:

— 5 different hooks
— 3 angles on the same topic
— 10 post ideas
— 4 CTA options
— 3 versions at different lengths

You end up with something to choose from rather than trying to make one version fit every situation.

It also helps you see which direction feels most natural for your voice, which is often more useful than the content itself.

Do you ask for options or work with the first response?

I've always been someone who keeps learning, not to collect certificates, but because the moment you stop, you start falling behind.

Marketing changes quickly. The platforms shift. The tools change.

AI is the biggest shift I've seen in the time I've been doing this.

But the underlying skill hasn't changed: being able to look at a business, understand what they need, and figure out the clearest way to get there.

That's what I focus on developing. Everything else is just tools.

What's the most useful thing you've learned about marketing in the past year?

Doesn't have to be about AI, I’m interested in knowing what's been useful for you to learn.

Something worth doing if you use AI regularly for the same types of content: build reusable prompts.

Instead of starting from scratch each time, write a prompt template once and save it.

For example:

"Create 5 Instagram caption ideas for [topic], aimed at [audience], using a calm, practical tone. Keep each one under 150 words and include a soft call to action."

You fill in the brackets.

The structure stays consistent.

The output improves over time as you refine it.

Do you have a prompt you go back to regularly?

I'd love to know what it is.

"Reasoning and agentic AI adoption is incredible." — Jensen Huang, Founder & CEO of NVIDIA.

You might not have heard the term "agentic AI" yet, but it's worth knowing.

It's the difference between AI that answers a question and AI that actually works through a task; planning, reasoning, taking steps, getting something done. Less "here's some information" and more "here's the finished thing."

Huang made this comment to explain how fast businesses are picking this up. And the speed of this is genuinely significant.

For small businesses, this isn't about keeping up with tech trends for the sake of it. It's about understanding what the tools around you can do so you can make better decisions about where they fit in how you work.

It’s definitely something worth thinking about this week. Take the first step & have a look at how beneficial even just once of these Agents could be in taking one task of your list for you.

One thing that saves a lot of back and forth with AI: don't ask it to guess your brand voice.

Give it examples instead.

Paste in previous posts, website copy, emails or captions you already like.

Then ask it to match the style, structure, phrasing and level of detail.

The output will be noticeably closer to how you actually write because it's working from something real rather than a generic description of "professional but friendly."

What do you use as reference material when you want AI to write in your voice and tone?
