Can you “Okay, Google” your way to success?
Maybe it’s not that easy, but digital assistants are finding a voice in the business world. If you’re one of millions of people who use Alexa, Cortana, Siri, or Google to help automate your life, you know how useful these devices can be.
You can also use these devices to increase efficiency in your business.
Wondering where to start? Here are three ways your favorite digital assistant can make life at work a little easier.
1) Schedule Reminders
Does your to-do list look like an encyclopedia? Digital assistants can help with that. With a few words, you can use your digital assistant to create a reminder that spans all of your devices. That way, it’s easier to focus on high-priority tasks over the clutter and noise.
You can also use the same feature to schedule appointments and block out time from your day. It’s faster, easier, and more efficient than hiring a human secretary.
2) Automate Tasks
Is the office freezing when you get to work? It doesn’t have to be. By using your digital assistant and hooking your office up to Nest, you can start heating the building with a phrase.
Similarly, you can automate alarms, notifications, and even social media posts. Other tasks you can automate include sending emails and attending conference calls. All of these tasks free you up to focus on the day-to-day running of your business.
And, given the flexibility of the digital assistants, your automation powers are limited only by your imagination.
3) Get Knowledge Faster
In the business world, it’s harder than ever to stay on top of every evolving trend and pertinent news story. And most business owners don’t have the time to read and stay informed.
Your digital assistant can read important news stories to you while you focus on other tasks that don’t require your full attention. You can also use your assistant to tune into the local radio news.
The Bottom Line
Digital assistants can support business owners in many different ways. To find out how your digital assistant can make your life easier, you should take a moment to read through their available tasks and skills. What you find can save you time, money, and energy.
