Create SOPs with AI in 10 Minutes

Most businesses avoid documenting their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)… until it hurts. In this episode, I show a 10-minute AI workflow to turn a quick screen recording + commentary into a clear, agent-ready SOP. You’ll see what worked (NotebookLM) and what didn’t (my first ChatGPT upload), plus the exact prompt + guardrails I use so AI sticks to your source and doesn’t invent steps.


You’ll learn

  • The fast record → transcribe → generate SOP method

  • Why SOPs = strategic advantage for the 2026 AI agent wave

  • My ChatGPT vs NotebookLM test (wins + fails and the workaround)

  • How to write guardrails (“use only the video/transcript”) to stop AI adding steps

  • Adding acceptance checks & flowcharts so someone (or an agent) can follow it

  • Future-proofing: document intent + steps, and keep passwords out of SOPs

Chapters

00:00 The Importance of SOPs in Business

01:00 What is an SOP and why are they important?

02:41 What business processes require an SOP?

03:21 How to create an SOP document using AI'

05:44 Demonstration of my SOP for podcast publishing

15:46 Future-Proofing Your SOPs

16:48 Summary and outro


Here is the refined prompt I used

ROLE: You are an expert process documentation specialist. 

CONTEXT: Attached is a screen recording/transcript of “[PROCESS NAME] at [COMPANY].

TASK: Create a clear, self-contained SOP that a new person can follow and an AI agent can learn from. 

STYLE: Concise, action verbs, scannable bullets.

IMPORTANT: Use only the information contained in the video recording and/or transcript. Do not include any steps or information not explicitly in the video. Instead, Flag missing info as OPEN QUESTIONS.

BEFORE YOU TAKE ACTION: Do you have any questions?


If this helped, subscribe for weekly, practical AI for business owners. Share this with someone who keeps “meaning to” document processes.

    Stop Wasting Time in PowerPoint: Use Gamma + ChatGPT Instead

    Tired of spending hours fixing fonts, nudging boxes, and rebuilding slides in PowerPoint? This episode shows a faster, AI-first way to make professional presentations using Gamma, and why pairing it with ChatGPT can cut your deck time from days to minutes.


    Perfect for consultants, marketers, founders, teachers, and leaders who make slides every week and want quality without the grind.


    In this video, I demo three practical ways to use Gamma:

    1. One-shot prompt – go from blank page to a clear, structured deck in minutes.

    2. From an existing doc – turn a long/boring PDF or report into a tight presentation.

    3. Hybrid workflow – my preferred ChatGPT → Gamma copy-paste approach (outline in ChatGPT, build/design in Gamma).


    You’ll see how to:

    • Generate solid first-draft slides with strong structure (titles, bullets, speaker notes).

    • Refine quickly with layouts, sections, images, and on-brand themes.

    • Convert long documents (e.g., policy papers, reports) into clear, audience-friendly visuals.

    • Decide when to export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF for hand-off and collaboration.

    • Avoid common pitfalls (over-generating, messy layouts, generic visuals) with simple prompt tweaks.


    Why this matters:

    • Speed: Ship decks in hours, not days.

    • Clarity: Start from a structured outline instead of a blank slide.

    • Quality: Consistent, on-brand looks without pixel-pushing.

    • Flexibility: Export to your team’s preferred tool when needed.


    Chapters

    00:00 Finally – a new approach to building slide presentations

    00:31 Exploring Gamma: A New Tool for Presentations

    01:00 Live demo of Gamma.app

    02:35 Demo 1 – create a presentation from a single prompt (one-shot)

    08:37 Demo 2 – Create a presentation from an existing document

    14:21 Demo 3 – My preferred workflow – the hybrid approach using ChatGPT and Gamma in tandem

    17:48 How to apply this to your situation

    19:08 Sanity check and conclusion



    Who this is for:

    • Consultants & marketers: client decks, proposals, campaign plans.Executives & team leads: strategy updates, board packs, all-hands.

    • Teachers & trainers: lesson plans, training modules, workshops.

    • Founders & creators: investor decks, product overviews, webinars.


    Tools used:

    • Gamma (AI-first presentations, documents, and webpages)

    • ChatGPT (for fast outlining, rewriting, and idea development)


    Transparency: I use AI tools in this demo. I recommend adding a small slide note such as “Slides prepared with AI assistance (Gamma/ChatGPT)” for good practice.


    If this saves you time, please like, subscribe, and share with a colleague who’s still wrestling PowerPoint.

    How To Safely Implement AI In Your Business

    In this episode, I sit down with Inbal Rodnay, AI implementation expert and author of AI Magic, to walk through a practical, six-step playbook for embedding AI across a business safely, sanely, and with momentum. 


    We dig into leadership alignment, smart tool choices, responsible use, and how to turn experiments into real workflows that actually save time.


    What you’ll learn

      • A simple six-step arc: align leadership, pick the right tools, build a usable policy, train your team, create momentum, and embed AI into workflows.
      • Why it’s OK (and efficient) to sit a step behind the “explorers” and focus on business value over app-chasing.
      • The “three rings” radar for tools: what to use now, what to watch, and what to ignore as noise.
      • How to run training that sticks: role-specific examples, live demos, and sharing wins/misses in a team channel.
      • Responsible-use basics to include in your AI policy: confidentiality, disclosure, verification, and when to use temporary/no-storage modes.

    3 Easy Steps To Supercharge ChatGPT For Business

    If you're using ChatGPT for your business but still getting generic, AI-sounding output, this episode is for you.


    I’ll show you three simple documents you can create (in under 10 minutes) that will dramatically improve the quality, consistency, and relevance of ChatGPT’s responses.


    Think of it like onboarding a new staff member. Give ChatGPT your:

    1. Tone of Voice – so it sounds like you

    2. Ideal Customer Profile – so it writes for your audience

    3. Business Plan or Goals – so it understands your strategy


    I’ll walk you through exactly how to create each one, using prompts you can copy and paste. And to make it real, I demo all three using a fictional brand from a past episode.


    Whether you’re running a solo business or managing a team, this is a foundational step for getting real ROI from ChatGPT.


    The 3 Promts I used are:

    1. "Please help create a tone of voice guide for [insert brand name] What do you need to know to help with this task?"

    2. Can you help me write an Ideal Customer Profile for [Insert brand]? Ask me any questions you need to help build it

    3. "I'd like to create a one-page business plan for [insert company]. Ask me anything you need to help write it."

    My Way Or The AI Way
    24/7 Coach In Your Pocket: How To Clone Your Favourite Guru With AI

    Ever wished you could ping Richard Branson for business advice at 6 a.m. or have Gordon Ramsay critique tonight’s dinner?

    In this episode, I show you exactly how to create a digital clone of any famous thinker and keep them on call inside ChatGPT.

    You’ll watch me demo my Mark Manson-style coach and get my three-step framework (plus copy-and-paste prompts) to build your own.


    What you’ll learn

    • The “Voice Bible” method I use to capture an expert’s tone, principles, and quirks—so your clone sounds uncannily real.
    • How a short user-profile prompt lets your AI mentor tailor every answer to you.
    • A start-to-finish walkthrough of the Custom GPT builder—no coding, just smart prompts.
    • Pro tips for running multiple gurus side-by-side (and even @-mentioning them in the same chat).
    • Why “cloning” isn’t sci-fi—it’s just large language models predicting what your hero would say next.

    Resources

    1. Voice Bible Prompt – generates a concise persona doc for any expert.
    2. User-Profile Prompt – ten questions that build a 200-word bio GPT can learn from.
    3. Custom GPT Setup Script – the exact instructions I paste into the builder.

    Grab all three in the free Google Doc here:

    My Way Or The AI Way
    How to Master Any Topic Using Perplexity.ai & Notebook LM

    Students and curious learners, buckle up. In this solo walkthrough, I share my end-to-end AI study workflow, from finding credible sources to locking them into memory, using two free tools you can start with today:

    • Perplexity.ai – the research power-house that surfaces sources and cites them.
    • Notebook LM (Google beta) – your personal reading coach, audiobook narrator, quiz-master and mind-mapping sidekick.

  • What you'll learn

    1. Prompt like a pro – the exact template I drop into Perplexity to get PhD-level briefs.
    2. Turn dense PDFs into podcasts – let Notebook LM read any doc aloud while you cook, drive or walk.
    3. Generate study guides & self-quizzes in seconds –spaced-repetition without the flash-card grunt-work.
    4. Visual aids & mind-mapping – why teaching the material back to yourself locks it in.
    5. A peek at where AI learning is headed next (multi-modal, voice-first, real-time).

    How I Saved $472 Using ChatGPT: An AI Approach to Negotiation

    I share the step-by-step process I followed to reduce my annual car-insurance premium by $472 in less than 30 minutes.

    After walking through the personal example, I outline how AI can also assist with more complex business negotiations, from supplier contracts to six-figure SaaS renewals.

    With AI as your partner, there is no excuse to go into any negotiation unprepared. 

    • Turning ChatGPT into a policy analyst – how I asked the model to review my renewal documents and highlight every potential saving.

    • Building a like-for-like market comparison – the prompt that produced a clear table of alternative quotes from seven insurers.

    • Preparing a concise negotiation script – the structure ChatGPT suggested for my opening request, follow-up questions, and closing statement.

    • Implications for comparison websites – why instant, AI-driven analysis may change how we shop for insurance and other services.

    • Simple privacy safeguards – the setting changes you should make before sharing any personal document with an LLM.

    • Applying professional negotiation models to larger deals – mapping the process to frameworks such as Harvard Principled Negotiation, the Seven-Elements checklist and the Toulmin Model

  • Resources and Links mentions

    • Ruben Hassett’s LinkedIn post on three high-impact negotiation prompts: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ruben-hassid_i-never-negotiate-without-chatgpt-here-activity-7344318645918912515-_NpY

    My Way Or The AI Way
    The 6 Business Use Cases For AI

    In this episode, I dive into OpenAI’s new report, “Identifying and Scaling AI Use Cases” and break its insights down into six practical buckets any business can use:


    1. Content Creation – the starting point for most of us.

    2. Research – lightning-fast competitor intel and market sizing.

    3. Coding – from dev productivity to “vibe-coding” for non-coders.

    4. Data Analysis – an on-demand data analyst in your pocket.

    5. Ideation & Strategy – my favourite AI brainstorm partner.

    6. Automations – the not-so-sexy time-saver that points straight to AI agents.


    Along the way, I share how I’m already using each bucket in my consulting work, plus a quick review of Gamma.app, the AI presentation builder I used to create the slides that kept this episode on track.


    If you’re wondering where to start with AI, or where to go next, this framework will help you spot the gaps and the opportunities.

    • “Primitives” explained: why thinking in fundamental tasks (not job titles) makes AI adoption easier.

    • Real-world examples for marketing, sales, product, HR and finance

    • Personal stories of the time, money and creative boost I’m already seeing.

    • Why automations (and soon, autonomous agents) might be the biggest win of all.

    My Way Or The AI Way
    Is AI killing creativity? Or can it make us more creative? (with Tim O’Neill)

    Is AI the end of human creativity, or the rocket fuel we’ve been waiting for? 

    To explore this question, I sat down with Tim O’Neill, ex-Reactive Digital (co-founder) and now co-founder of Time Under Tension, Australia’s first “generative-AI experience agency.” 

    Tim’s career began in the early days of the internet, and he says today’s AI wave feels just like the 90s internet boom - only faster. 

    In this episode, we dive into:

    • Creativity, upgraded. Tim explains how generative models are removing the grunt work (think endless product-photo retouching) so designers can focus on ideas that matter.
    • The agency of the future. Why his team can ship more with fewer engineers by pairing solid dev chops with AI coding copilots
    • Chat-first shopping. Get ready for “e-commerce without the website” as ChatGPT and Perplexity move from product discovery to checkout
    • Raising AI-native kids. Tim’s “softly-softly” approach to teaching his 10- and 12-year-olds the tools—and the critical thinking behind them
    • A starting line for small businesses. Build personal AI literacy at home, then target the time-sucking tasks in your company, and invest in training to do it responsibly

    Can You Build a Website with AI in 2025? Here’s What You Need to Know

    In this episode, I explore the question: Can you really build a website using AI in 2025?

    The short answer: Yes—if your needs are simple.

    The long answer: There are trade-offs.

    Join me as I break down the current landscape of website development and show how AI fits into the process. Whether you’re a business owner, marketer, or just curious about AI tools, you’ll learn what’s possible—and what still requires a human touch.

    Here’s what we cover:

      • Why websites still matter in 2025, even with declining traffic
      • What AI tools like ChatGPT can (and can’t) do in web design
      • The four main options for building a site today:


      1. Bespoke builds
      2. Open-source CMS (like WordPress)
      3. All-in-one SaaS builders (Wix, Squarespace)
      4. New AI-assisted website builders (like Durable and Framer AI)


      • Where AI saves time—and where you’ll still need a developer


    I also share my own experience planning a website for this podcast, including the tools I tested, what worked, and why I ultimately chose WordPress (with help from AI) for more flexibility and control.

    Would You Trust AI to Diffuse a Bomb?

    This episode is about a moment that felt straight out of a movie: me, on top of a wheelie bin, wire cutters in hand, and ChatGPT talking me through how to fix my garage door.

    What started as a flashing light turned into a full-blown troubleshooting session, using photos, voice, and a bit of old-fashioned logic. I walked away thinking: this is one of the best uses of AI I’ve seen so far.

    In this episode, I share:

    • How ChatGPT spotted a loose wire just from a photo
    • The surreal step-by-step repair it talked me through
    • Why AI is now my go-to for fixing everyday problems
    • Where it still falls short and when to rely on human judgement
    • If you’ve been wondering how useful AI really is in the real world, this story might give you an answer.


      Let me know what you think and if you’ve had a troubleshooting win (or fail) with AI, I’d love to hear about it.
