What an incredible week so far in Ponte Vedra Beach/Jacksonville at the Florida SBDC Network Success Summit and Annual Conference at Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa! This morning, I presented "AI Unleashed: Powering Small Business Success with Technology" to the Florida SBDC Network staff. During the presentation, I shared innovative strategies for harnessing generative AI to help small businesses enhance their processes and boost efficiency. We explored specific prompts across various areas, including content creation, financial management, and long-term growth strategies. I also demonstrated a prompt I used to generate 80 lines of code for an interactive bar chart in our digital impact report last year. Additionally, we discussed the use of custom GPTs tailored specifically for SBDC counselors to better serve their clients. The group was incredibly fun and engaging throughout the session! Thanks again to Greg Britton, Beverly Byerts, Bridget LaCoste, Jane Dowgwillo and the rest of the Florida SBDC staff for having me! Mississippi Small Business Development Center Network
