Small businesses are constantly seeking tools that can help them stay competitive and efficient. One such groundbreaking tool is the easily growing world of AI-powered GPTs. There are a number of AI tools to choose from, but leading the way (currently) is OpenAI's GPT Store.

The GPT Store offers a range of categories. In today’s post we’ll explore a few GPT examples that may change the way your small businesses operates.

Note: To use GPTs, you must have access to ChatGPT Plus, which is $20 per month. For those of you who don’t have paid access, I included examples and screenshots.

Exploring Featured GPTs

The exact criteria and process for selecting featured GPTs can vary depending on OpenAI’s objectives of running the GPT Store. I suspect the apps featured are most popular, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a paid advertising space for GPT’s.

In the screenshot above, Canva’s GPT is featured. I’ve been waiting for Canva’s GPT to improve. I didn’t find earlier versions useful at all.

Here’s my results from a quick test.

My prompt: You're a content manager for wemergeAI. I need you to create an instagram carousel with 5 slides about openAi's gpt store. The first slide should be a click-bait style title. the next 3 slides should highlight 3 different trending gpt's for small business use. The final slide should be a call to action to follow wemergeAi for ai-related news for small business owners.

What did I get? 🥴

Instead of getting a carousel design with the copy written for me, I received a template suggestion. When I tried the Canva GPT before writing this post, I received a slide deck with multiple slides and prewritten copy. Here’s a link to see what the GPT wrote, click here.

There’s still work to be done with the Canva GPT. Ideally, you could instruct the Canva GPT to write the copy and provide a template in one swoop. I’ll spend more time engineering my prompt for that result. I’ll let you know when I create a good result.

Exploring Writing GPTs

Small business owners can significantly benefit from the writing category in the GPT store. I use ChatGPT daily to help me save time.

Here are a few use cases for using Writing GPTs:

• Content Generation: Generate blog posts, articles, and website content. This can save time and maintain a consistent content schedule, essential for engaging customers.

Exploring the Productivity GPTs

The "Productivity" category is populated with GPTs designed to incorporate into your daily workflow. Some of these may require more technical skills, like familiarity with APIs, but these AI tools could help small business owners reduce manual tasks and dedicate more focus on strategic decision-making and growth opportunities.

Here are a few use cases for using Productivity GPTs:
