EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston brings back Greg Howe, founder of Gimme Info, for a deep dive into how small businesses and solopreneurs can use AI and automation to reclaim their time.

Together, they unpack real-world use cases—like email triage, customer sentiment tracking, and task automation—and show how simple automation can free up your day for higher-value work.
3 KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
Email Management Can Be Smarter: Greg explains how tools like Make.com can read emails, assess their tone with ChatGPT, and sort them into Gmail folders—automatically separating value from noise.
-
Automation Starts With Understanding Your Process: Before plugging in AI, record your workflow (using tools like Loom or Scribe) to map out your steps. This becomes the foundation for training AI to help you.
-
Use AI Strategically, Not Just Technically: ChatGPT isn’t just a chatbot—it can serve as a thought partner, strategist, and even a SOP (standard operating procedure) generator if you feed it the right context.
