AI Isn’t Just the Future - It’s Happening Right Now

For entrepreneurs, small businesses, and virtual assistants, artificial intelligence can feel like a big, confusing buzzword.

Tokens? Temperature? Prompt structure? No thank you!

But here's the thing: AI isn't about replacing humans. It's about helping real people, like you and me, work smarter, not harder.

And now, thanks to Make.com, it's never been easier to get started.

Introducing Make AI Tools - Open Beta Now Live

Make.com just launched their new Make AI Tools (currently in open beta for paid plans), and it might be the friendliest way to bring AI into your business without needing to:

• Learn how to write prompts from scratch

• Sign up for separate AI platforms or LLM providers

• Know a single line of code

This all-in-one toolset lets you add smart, AI-powered actions into your automations in just a few clicks.

What Can Make AI Tools Do?

These new modules are designed to help you:

• 🧠 Understand customer feedback (analyse reviews, extract sentiment)

• 📄 Summarise long documents, contracts, and reports

• 🌍 Translate emails or social posts

• 🛠️ Standardise messy text inputs

• 🔍 Extract important details from forms or emails

• 📑 Automatically sort emails, messages, and support tickets

In plain English: you can now automate smart text-related tasks with zero technical experience.

Worried About Limits? Don’t Be.

If you're on a paid Make.com plan, you'll get access to up to 10 million uses per month (known as "tokens").

That’s more than enough to test, build, and run workflows for most solo businesses and small teams.

Why This Matters for Virtual Assistants and Small Businesses

At Elevate Virtual Assistant, we support SMEs, digital marketers, and service-based founders who want to leverage tech without getting overwhelmed.

And here's what we know:

• The best automations start with simple, repetitive tasks

• You don’t need to be a developer to use AI well

• Learning how to think with AI is more important than learning how to code

Make AI Tools meet you exactly where you are.

Where to Start With Make AI Tools

Ready to test it out? Here's how to get started:

1. Pick one repetitive task in your workflow (e.g. sorting contact form responses)

2. Use a Make AI Tool module (like "Categorise Text" or "Summarise Text")

3. Run a test and review the result

4. Tweak, scale, and repeat as needed

I'll personally be testing out a few of these tools over the coming days and reporting back here and on LinkedIn, so stay tuned for honest reviews and real-world use cases.

Final Thoughts: AI Can Be Friendly

If AI has felt out of reach or overwhelming, this could be your gateway.

Make AI Tools are designed to make AI feel human, accessible, and genuinely helpful for people who want to get things done without fuss.

Elevate is here to guide you through this AI evolution, with training, custom workflows, and done-for-you automation support.
