The Smartest-First AI Automation Optimization Strategy
When building AI automations, optimizing for cost and latency is the difference between a profitable AI agent and an expensive experiment.
But that means marketers often have to choose between smart, expensive models and fast, cheap models. How do you find the balance?
Tommy Chryst's advice is to use both.
Start with the highest-tier model to establish the ideal logic and behavior you want to see.
Then, test the automation on a lower-tier AI model to see whether it performs just as well.
More tips and advice on which specific models (like GPT 4.1 Nano vs. Gemini Flash) Tommy recommends for different marketing use cases, are available instantly when you join the AI Business Society.

How to Sell AI Services Without Selling Your Soul
Anne recommends one entry point above all others for landing your first clients: AI education.
Running workshops, even short, informal ones, is the fastest way to move someone through the know-like-trust process. It demonstrates your expertise in real time, gives people immediate value, and creates a natural opening to discuss deeper engagement.
Anne suggests two low-overhead approaches to get started with workshops:
-
The first is to begin showing up informally via live or recorded video on LinkedIn or TikTok with other AI-curious people in your network. A 30-minute conversation with a peer where you talk through how you're using AI for real tasks is enough to start building a digital footprint around your expertise.
-
The second is to list a workshop on Eventbrite. Pick a clear, audience-specific title such as AI for Small Business Owners, AI for Nonprofits, or AI Made Easy. Then, design a simple session and promote it. Eventbrite handles registrations and does its own promotion for listed events. If you price it free, there's no cost to you.
When you run your workshops, one thing makes the biggest difference in whether attendees want to work with you afterward: Engineering a moment of genuine surprise through demonstrations of what AI can do that people genuinely couldn't have imagined.
Don't just demonstrate on your own screen. Have everyone open their laptops and do the task alongside you. Side-by-side, hands-on execution turns a presentation into an experience.
Tailor everything to the room. At the start of every session, ask people what they do in their jobs, then build your demonstrations around those specific use cases in real time. Generic examples feel theoretical. Examples drawn from someone's actual daily work feel immediately useful—and make attendees feel seen.
After every workshop, provide a playbook. Not a recap—a step-by-step guide that captures everything covered and gives people a path forward even if they missed something in the moment.
When you close out the session, make a simple offer: If you'd like to explore working together, I have a few slots available.
