Everyone is talking and sharing about new AI tools, but no one is talking about these AI usecases…
If you’re building or scaling a company, time is your most valuable currency.
And while AI is the buzzword of the decade, very few founders are using it strategically.
After months of experimentation across client work, hiring, and operations, these 7 underrated AI workflows now save me 10+ hours every single week.
Let’s break them down…
1. Brainstorming in voice mode… for faster creative momentum
You can use ChatGPT Voice or AudioPen
When I’m walking between meetings or in the car, I just talk through new ideas – video concept, product ideas, partnership angles.
AI transcribes and turns it into structured notes or outlines.
2 hours/week saved… and no more losing ideas to mental drafts.
2. Smart meeting summaries (that don’t miss the point)
Here, you can use Fathom or Fireflies. ai
Every founder’s day is packed with calls. Instead of taking notes, I record and summarise them automatically.
Prompt example: List key takeaways, next steps, and team responsibilities.
2–3 hours/week saved and zero lost action items.
3. Personalised pitch decks for every Client or Investor
You can use ChatGPT + Canva or Gamma, or Tome
Feed in your brand assets + client background, and AI drafts a deck tailored to their tone, pain points, and goals.
I cut deck creation time from 4 hours to 45 minutes… with higher conversion.
4. AI-Powered resume analysis for smarter hiring
You can use ChatGPT + Resume Analyser Plugin
Paste multiple resumes and ask: Summarise top strengths, potential risks, and cultural fit.
Speeds up shortlisting by 70%… while keeping the human judgment where it matters most.
5. Voice-to-Email for founder outreach
You can use ChatGPT Voice or Whisper + Gmail
After a meeting, I record a quick voice note like “follow up with client X, thank them, include metrics.”
AI turns it into a polished, professional email… ready to send.
Saves 30+ minutes daily on follow-ups and client comms.
6. Data summaries for board updates & reports
You can use ChatGPT + Excel Plugin or Notion AI
Upload team or financial data – ask AI for key insights, anomalies, and next-step recommendations.
1–2 hours saved weekly on data prep before board meetings.
7. Content ideation & thought leadership
You can use tools like ChatGPT, Custom GPTs or Notion AI
As a founder, content = credibility.
AI helps me brainstorm post ideas, refine tone, and repurpose interviews into long-form content.
Keeps my voice consistent… without spending hours writing.
