GoDaddy Releases Prompts That Make Generative AI Tools Business Consultants

GoDaddy has released prompts small business owners can use with generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

The new Small Business Generative AI Prompt Library includes prompts that can turn tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s Bing AI into marketing copywriters, social media experts and growth hackers, GoDaddy said in a Friday (April 7) press release.

The prompts are meant to help small business owners get information from these generative AI tools about starting a business, boosting sales, and marketing a business, as well as business websites, business decisions and customer service, according to the website.

For example, one prompt reads, “Ask me two to five questions to understand my business and then recommend a growth strategy from the perspective of a world-renowned growth hacker. Prioritize unique, low-cost strategies.”

GoDaddy has included more than 35 prompts in the library and will add more throughout the year. The firm will also be adding more features that make use of generative AI, according to the release.

With the library of prompts, the firm aims to help small business owners harness the power and knowledge that is available from generative AI tools, GoDaddy Vice President of Products, Websites + Marketing Geoff Clawson said in the release.

“It gives small businesses the ability to accomplish a variety of tasks quickly and easily,” Clawson said in the release. “We’ve taken the mystery out of writing effective prompts for small businesses.”

Generative AI is also being put to work by chief financial officers (CFOs).

A new generation of generative AI tools are providing finance teams with real-time operational data, giving them back the time they need to activate it by taking care of more generalized finance tasks like bookkeeping and non-tax audits, and often improving the accuracy and productivity of those workflows.

A paper from researchers at OpenAI said that generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) models, and the next-generation software tools built atop them, could impact up to half of the tasks necessary for 19% of the jobs in the United States.

Jobs that already involve a variety of software-driven tasks could potentially face more disruption from AI tools, the paper said.
