Emma Michael: AI Made Easy

08/06/2026

If you’re using AI in your business, “I only use ChatGPT for captions” is no longer the full story.

The EU AI Act is already starting to change the conversation.

For most small business owners, this does not mean panic, huge legal bills, or corporate-style compliance folders.

But it does mean you need basic AI literacy.

That means knowing:

• what AI can and can’t do
• why it sometimes makes things up
• what client data you should never paste in
• when a human needs to check the output
• how to use AI responsibly in your actual role

This matters whether you’re a coach, consultant, VA, marketer, designer, or small business owner using AI to save time.

My take?

The businesses who will feel most confident with AI are not the ones chasing every new tool.

They’ll be the ones who understand how to use AI safely, clearly, and sensibly.

That’s where the real advantage is.

If you’re using AI in your business, now is the time to get your foundations right.

✨Five ways ADHD business owners are using AI better than everyone else✨

1️⃣Voice-to-text everything. Speak your thoughts, let AI turn them into emails, posts, or action lists. No more blank page paralysis.

2️⃣Use AI as your second brain. Dump all your half-finished ideas into a prompt and ask it to find the thread. It can hold the context you can't.

3️⃣Automate the boring stuff that kills momentum. Invoices, follow-up emails, scheduling, the tasks that feel impossible when you're in flow state on something else.

4️⃣Batch-create content in hyperfocus windows. When the focus hits, prompt AI to help you produce a month of posts in one sitting. Work with the burst, not against it.

5️⃣Use it as a thinking partner, not just a tool. ADHD brains need to talk through ideas. AI never gets tired of the conversation.

✨The Business Focus Finder✨

💡 How this helps: This prompt helps ADHD business owners stop spinning between too many ideas and choose the next best action for business growth.

📋 The Perfect Prompt for ChatGPT or Claude

“Act as an ADHD-friendly business strategist specialising in helping overwhelmed business owners grow with calm, simple, practical action.

Context: I am a business owner with ADHD or ADHD traits. I feel stuck and overwhelmed because I have too many things I could focus on, including social media, my website, email marketing, lead generation, offers, content, follow-ups, and business systems.

My main goal is to grow my business, but I am not sure what needs my attention first.

Task: Help me work out my best focus for this week.

Please ask me no more than 3 simple diagnostic questions about:

1. My current offer
2. My audience and where I currently show up
3. My biggest growth blocker right now

Once I answer, please identify:

* The ONE main priority I should focus on this week
* Why this priority matters
* 3 small action steps I can take to get momentum
* What I should ignore for now
* The easiest first step I can take in the next 10 minutes

The 3 action steps must be ADHD-friendly, realistic, specific, and focused on getting results, not just keeping me busy.

Please keep your answer calm, simple, practical, and encouraging.

Ask me any questions you have.”

✨The quality of your AI output is directly tied to your AI infrastructure.✨

Most of you have 5 + AI tools.
And zero infrastructure.

So your day looks like this:

You open ChatGPT.
The world of Facebook tells you Claude is better.
You switch.

Claude has no idea who you are.

So you paste your entire ChatGPT history in.
Now Claude is drowning in data that’s out of date.

Then Claude goes down.
You go back to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is missing everything you discussed with Claude.

Every session starts from scratch.
You explain yourself. Again.
And again.

Then you hit your usage limit.

And you’re back to square one.

No tools saved you.
Because tools aren’t infrastructure.

👉If you’re ready to stop starting over every single session, this is exactly what I help small business owners fix.

🧡Anthropic has launched “Claude for Small Business,” 🧡

A new AI system made to help small companies automate work using the tools they already use every day.

It is designed for smaller teams, local businesses, and solo business owners.

⭐️Why it Matters:
👉Claude connects with tools like QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and DocuSign so businesses can manage work from one place.
👉The system includes 15 built-in workflows for tasks such as payroll planning, invoicing, bookkeeping, customer service, sales, HR, and marketing campaigns.
👉Claude can prepare tasks and recommendations, but users still approve actions before anything is posted, sent, or paid.

Anthropic says many small businesses still struggle with AI due to limited time, trust concerns, and a lack of training, so this product is designed to make adoption easier.

I’ve not had chance to try it… (yet) 😉

AI without context is a parrot 🦜 a parrot strings words together. It has no idea what it is saying!

AI with context is leverage. A briefed assistant knows the business and shows up ready to work.

Loved running this workshop, you can still get the replay. Huge thanks to Business Women in for running them 🙏

Honestly, what Emma Michael doesn’t know about AI probably isn’t worth knowing!!

Emma is a complete AI whizz, and that’s exactly why I’m so excited about tomorrow’s workshop, Let’s Build Custom GPTs.

She lives, sleeps, and breathes this stuff and is forever testing new AI tools, prompts, workflows, updates, and figuring out what actually works for small businesses in the real world. To save time, improve visibility, work smarter, and make life a little easier.

What I really love about Emma though is that she has been in your shoes.

Staring at AI tools feeling completely lost and overwhelmed. Feeling frustrated trying to work out which tools were actually worth using, what all the jargon meant, and how to make AI genuinely useful without disappearing down endless rabbit holes.

That frustration actually became a turning point for Emma because she realised she could help other business owners cut through the noise and make AI feel far more practical, understandable, and accessible.

At tomorrow's workshop, you won't leave feeling confused or like you’ve been talked at for 2 hours. You’ll leave the workshop with the confidence and foundational AI knowledge to plan, build, and secure your own Custom GPTs and Claude Projects, helping you save time, improve consistency, and make AI genuinely useful within your day-to-day business.

Emma is an Award-Winning AI Trainer, Speaker & Accredited Business Strategist who has delivered training for organisations including Enterprise Nation and is booked to train for the Federation of Small Businesses.

She’s warm, approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely wants people to feel confident using AI in their businesses.

If you’ve been curious about Custom GPTs but haven’t really known where to start, this workshop is honestly such a good opportunity to learn from someone who really knows her stuff.

One of my super talented members of AI Made Easy Club 🤩 Amanda is amazing at what she does, give her shout if you need help with your next launch 🥳

Ever feel like you need about five mini versions of yourself during a launch? 😂

One to answer the DMs.

One to follow up with the “I’m interested but…” people.

One to keep track of who asked for the replay.

One to gently check in with the warm leads.

One to have the sales conversations while you’re still trying to show up, teach, deliver value and keep the whole launch moving.

Because launches are a lot.

And while you’re in founder mode (holding the energy, delivering the masterclass, answering questions, creating content and being visible) the sales side can easily become the bit that gets squeezed.

That’s where You Teach, I Close comes in.

I support founders, coaches and course creators with the sales and follow-up side of their launch, so warm leads don’t go quiet, conversations don’t get missed, and the people who are genuinely interested get the support they need to make a confident decision.

Think of me as your extra pair of hands behind the scenes

Because sometimes you don’t need five mini yous.

You just need the right support at the right point in your launch.

And if you’re running a masterclass soon and want some simple tips to help you make more sales from it, comment MASTERCLASS and I’ll send you my freebie, Masterclass Money.

Thank you .ai for the fun prompt for this post! (Emma has an amazing AI made easy membership)

I just read a post that had this sentence - “here’s the quiet truth….”

I’ve genuinely never used that phrase in my life!

“Here’s the quiet truth” gives me the ick because it does three things real writers rarely do all at once.

First, it announces depth before delivering any. When we write we just tend to just say the thing. We don’t roll out the red carpet first.

Second, “quiet” is doing performative work. It signals reflection, intimacy, gravitas, all without earning any of it. LLMs (Large Language Modes) like ChatGPT or Claude, love adjectives that add mood without adding meaning.

Third, the rhythm. That little four-word setup followed by a colon or full stop is a classic AI cadence. It mimics essay openings, not how anyone actually talks or posts online.

The giveaway isn’t really the phrase though. It’s the pattern. Once you spot one of these intimacy devices you start spotting them everywhere: “the real story”, “what most people miss”, “the honest answer is”. They all do the same job, which is manufacture authority before any substance shows up.

If you want your writing to sound like you, just say the thing. The truth doesn’t need announcing.

What AI written sentences give you the ick?
