Build Once, Reuse Forever: AI Systems That Save You Every Week

🍽️ Local Insight of the Week

When we think of AI, we often think of one-off tasks: writing a caption, answering a question. But the real magic? Systems. Reusable, repeatable workflows that save you hours — not just once, but week after week.

Case in point: A clothing boutique in New Westminster now uses AI to generate weekly email campaigns from a single template. They just swap in the new promo or photo and hit send. Ten minutes of work, max.

📌 Quick Action: Prompt ChatGPT: “Create a repeatable weekly email template for a local [type of business] that includes: featured product, tip of the week, and special offer.”
