Thanks, Russell, for this insightful video. It made me rethink how I approach AI tools for my consulting work. I recently discovered Myko Assistant, which simplifies the search for detailed professional profiles and job postings much more efficiently than some popular options. It’s been a great asset alongside the tools you mentioned.
Here’s a reference for those interested (and maybe boost the algorithm for Russell, thanks by the way!) 1. Prompt Base - Buy affordable AI prompts. 2. Uncanny Automator - Automate WordPress tasks. 3. Vox Script - Research with ChatGPT integration. 4. Pi AI - Effective brainstorming with a human-like language platform. 5. Ten Web - Build AI-driven websites quickly. Check the video for more details!
Russel to be honest i still haven't cracked really what is it that ill be seeling to the customer out there as an AI Consultant once ive gotten used to the tools you are presenting.
What is your area of expertise? If you're not an expert in something or have deep experience in solving a specific problem, I wouldn't suggest getting into the consulting world at this point. There are a lot of people thinking it's just about digital marketing and funnels, when it's actually about being incredibly good at enabling clients to reach outcomes.
@RussellPearson Perhaps just an example of what a prospective client will be looking for can bring about some, I am actually a Solution Architect by profession.
@@playtimewithemihle2544 They will be looking for a specific result or outcome. I would imagine that with your work it would be what they should be doing with their architecture. Especially with AI complicating things. Have you started your business, or are you working as an employee right now?
@RussellPearson I am currently consulting with own company but haven't added AI Consulting as part of my service, however I want to start doing that now, I am working on a static website were I want to include all services I provide.
In your experience, how has AI reshaped the consultancy landscape, and what are the biggest challenges consultants face when integrating AI into their workflows?
Overcoming fear to begin with. Most consultants I know are avoiding it rather than accepting it as a new way of doing business. They have trouble delegating their role and tasks to humans so AI becomes an even greater stretch.
Can you be an AI Consultant and NOT be a data engineer or scientist? You’re more of a salesperson and the middle man between the potential client and AI firm with those engineers and scientists?
In my experience, the vast majority of software implementation is unsuccessful. Management considers the product and ultimately buys it, and designates someone to work with the software firm to design the workflow and manage implementation. However in most companies that designated person is not in the trenches doing the job, so the designed workflow may be superficially adequate but doesn't account for the messy business of the real world, all the unforeseen ways that flowchart they drew up doesn't apply. Further, that person may be an expert in the workflow, but may not be as tech literate as the software engineer the firm sent to do the implementation. That leads to their being a language barrier of sorts, where the engineer is referencing objects, queries, etc. and the client's representative is using industry jargon. Of course we have learned to create pilot groups to test the product with the folks in the trenches before it goes live, but if that testing process isn't managed well (doesn't solicit enough feedback, tests for specific outcomes rather than looking for any possible way to break it) then ultimately the testing fails in its purpose of surviving "real world circumstances". Lastly, if issues are uncovered, the frontline workers may not have the tech literacy to communicate the issue in a way the software engineer understands, or if they can, then maybe management doesn't possess the computer literacy to understand the issue and ultimately may be loathe to spend more money solving a problem they don't understand. This all results in the software being implemented poorly, and the client having buyers remorse. They think the software sucks, not understanding that the software is capable of much more, it just wasn't implemented correctly. Where a consultant can provide immense value is bridging the gap between the engineers from the software company, the client, and the client's frontline employees that ultimately use the software. If that consultant possesses the industry knowledge, understands management's priorities, and also is technologically savvy enough to communicate with programmers, you'll get a much better end result.
Which AI tools are you using in your consulting practice?
thanks my friend

Wow, these AI tools are game-changers for consulting businesses! It's fascinating to see how technology keeps evolving.
The evolution is really fast. I've just recorded one on Social Media Apps as well. It's releasing next week.
Thankyou Russell - really useful!

Can you be an AI Consultant and NOT be a data engineer or scientist? You’re more of a salesperson and the middle man between the potential client and AI firm with those engineers and scientists?
Of course, because the art of consulting is not in the knowledge and doing, it’s in the guidance and transformation of the client.
In my experience, the vast majority of software implementation is unsuccessful. Management considers the product and ultimately buys it, and designates someone to work with the software firm to design the workflow and manage implementation.

If you’re still paying for prompts, you have no business being an AI consultant lol
