Ishan Sharma’s TEDxIITDelhi talk highlights several AI tools that can significantly support entrepreneurs in various aspects of their businesses:
- Manis: [05:40] This general-purpose AI agent assists with large-scale research, including market research, lead generation, and financial research. It helps entrepreneurs gather in-depth information about business ideas, saving countless hours of manual searching and compiling data.
- Replet: [07:24] This tool enables users to build applications rapidly by simply describing what they want to create. It automates the design of interfaces, builds logic, and connects servers and databases, allowing entrepreneurs to quickly launch prototypes and full-scale applications without extensive coding knowledge. An example given is “Magic School,” an app built by a school principal to help teachers prepare for classes [07:59].
- Apollo: [09:23] Used for automating sales, Apollo helps create lead lists based on specific criteria such as industry, funding, and employee count. It provides contact information, including emails, for targeted outreach to potential clients.
- Instantly: [10:14] This tool works in conjunction with Apollo by automating cold email outreach. Users can import lead lists and send out cold emails, streamlining the sales funnel and converting leads into clients. The speaker mentions his marketing agency uses this workflow to acquire clients globally [10:22].
- Hijen and 11 Labs: [11:25] These tools are used for automating content creation. Hijen is excellent for creating AI avatars, while 11 Labs generates AI audio. By training the AI with existing audio and video, entrepreneurs can scale their brand and content on social media without needing to constantly record new material themselves.
- Photo Image Generator: [12:36] This tool automates marketing by creating advertising visuals. Users can upload a product picture and describe the desired ad style, and the AI will generate various marketing visuals, eliminating the need to hire professional designers or copywriters for basic ad creation.
- Google AI Studio (Gemini): [13:41] This tool helps automate learning. It can act as an on-screen AI assistant, guiding users through confusing software interfaces and answering questions in real-time, enabling self-paced learning.
These AI tools collectively aim to make it easier for individuals to start and grow one-person businesses by automating key functions such as research, development, sales, marketing, content creation, and learning.
