6 AI Tools You Can Use To Scale Your Business

Namelix: For Brand Names
We all dream of having the perfect brand name.
A name that, when you say it to someone, they immediately get what you’re about and love what your business provides.
But coming up with such clever brand names isn’t easy.
Sure, you can drop an e and become a super cool and edgy market-leading brand, but that happens very rarely *cough cough*.
That’s where the AI tool Namelix can help. By inputting a few keywords and hitting generate, you can get a short, brandable business name using artificial intelligence.
Let’s test it out with our new hat company.
Here are the keywords I will use:
Hats, snapbacks, vintage, style, trendy.
And here’s what we got:
Loads of options, with even more when you scroll down.
My particular favorite? Hattitude.
Looka: For Logo Generation
Once you’ve nailed down your brand name using Namelix, you can start thinking about the corresponding logo. Looka is a great AI tool for logo generation, offering you loads of ideas for inspiration.
While some of the results from logo generators tend to be quite generic, it can be a great option for a first logo or to help you create a mood board of things you like for a logo designer to work from.
Here are some Hattitude examples of Looka in action:
ChatGPT: For Content Ideas and Overcoming Writer’s Block
Would a list of AI tools even be relevant if it didn’t mention the catalyst to it all, ChatGPT? It is this language learning model that all other generative AI tools use as their baseline, and it kickstarted the AI movement as a whole.
However, while generative AI is a powerful tool, it’s important to also understand its limitations. For example, some business owners have leaned heavily on the text-generation capabilities of ChatGPT, crafting full company blog articles and publishing them in the hope that more content will lead to more traffic.
However, not only has it been shown that audiences don’t engage with this approach, but since Google’s recent algorithm update, brands that have taken this strategy have seen major drops in their rankings and, as a result, organic traffic.
But that doesn’t mean ChatGPT doesn’t offer some incredible benefits.
Instead of using it to replace content creation, you can use it to enhance your processes and productivity, generate article ideas and outlines for in-depth analysis, and occasionally lean on the tool to answer questions and overcome writer’s block.
When used correctly and sparingly, ChatGPT can be an incredible writing assistant, but not as your lead copywriter.
Unbound: For Product Imagery
It doesn’t matter how well you promote a product verbally. If you’re unable to add additional high-quality imagery, you will struggle to convert website visitors into purchasers, especially if those visitors haven’t purchased from you before and don’t have any built-up loyalty with your brand.
With Unbound, you can upload your product imagery, and use the tool to manipulate them and tweak the background to suit your needs. The tool will help make your product photography meet the same standards as a business with an in-house photography studio.
Replo: For Shopify Landing Pages
When it comes to creating Shopify landing pages, it can be an incredibly time-consuming process. That’s where Replo can help, allowing you to create customized pages to help your brand stand out without the costly additional dev time that would be traditionally required.
Chat Fuel: For Customer Service
Finally, for all your customer service needs, Chat Fuel is a brilliant AI tool that allows your entire time to use one single Whatsapp number to respond to customer queries and questions.
Rather than getting teams to log in and out, you can all access the number. It even has ChatGPT built-in, allowing some queries to be resolved without ever having to send a manual response, saving you time and effort on customer service.
