My team and I have been using AI quite a bit last year! Since we discovered some really cool uses cases that was not often spoken about, wanted to find out what others might have discovered as well!
For example, for us, it was lead scoring and next steps! The context from leads is analyzed and returns a "hotness rating" for the lead which prioritizes our outbound calling. Before we could only do this prioritization on hard data (page, product, etc) but now also on written text like "I'm in the market to buy xxx and saw this on your website". Big win.
So curious, what was the most useful use case of you AI you discovered in 2025 as an entrepreneur?
As we enter 2026, what was the most useful use case of AI you discovered in 2025 as an entrepreneur?

Oh man it has definitely helped us work much faster and efficiently! It hasn’t eliminated any role inside our company though- that said we do rely less on freelancers now for trivial tasks cause AI can often handle it. Here are some that I can think off as use cases tho:
1. Call Summarization: Tools like Zooms AI transcription, Otter etc has immensely helped with summarizing call transcripts so you don’t have to listen to 47 minutes of “um” and “can you hear me”! It can even create action items, update our CTM etc!
2. Mockups and Designs: Tools like V0 by Vercel, Google Nano Banana has helped us immesively by generating UI updates, UI for new features, product images for marketing etc
3. Data driven SEO & content repurposing: We have used AI to automate the process of coming up of SEO strategy using our Google search data. This is then used to automatically publish a blog on our website every day. The content is then repurposed into social media posts and posted automatically as well!
4. Writing Code 2x Faster: Thanks to tools like Cursor, Windsurf etc, our team is shipping code atleast 2x faster!
5. Email sequence follow up: We have setup Clay to automatically follow up with our leads with hyper personalization to ensure they book a call with our sales team! Still doesn’t eliminate any of our sales people but allows them to automate boilerplate stuff!
That’s all I can think of right now! Curious what others have it going!
For me cursor specifically that I am not good at front end and me any my friend both come from backend we are trying to build a software and let’s say cursor saves a lot of time and frustration more than you think the code and everything is a bit messy but still acceptable.
Serious question: If everyone is using AI to optimize SEO/GEO-whatever, doesn’t it become a zero-sum game? Where is the edge anymore? It’s machines competing against machines.
right there with you for both outbound and inbound calling. we started using ai assistants for the same, apart from that video content creation helped us too
For me it was using AI as a decision support layer rather than a content or automation tool. The biggest win was feeding it messy qualitative inputs like emails, call notes, chat transcripts and having it summarize intent, urgency, and risk in plain language.
In a wealth management context, this was surprisingly powerful. Instead of just looking at portfolio data or numbers, AI helped surface things like hesitation, life events, or confidence shifts from client messages that usually get lost. That changed how follow ups were prioritized and how conversations were framed.
It didn’t replace judgment, but it reduced noise and mental load. Less time sorting signals, more time making actual decisions. That was the unlock for me in 2025.
