Many Nepali business owners ask about using AI. They want to know if it is practical. They want to know how it works. I use AI extensively in my own work. I also help clients use it.
AI is a tool. It works for you. Just like a staff member, it requires training. Once trained, it can handle many tasks.
AI ra manchhe: ke farak chha?
People ask why use AI. My answer is simple. A person asks for a salary to do work. AI asks for money to do work. They are similar in this way. However, AI is more productive than people. AI does not take jobs. People train AI. High-level people build the AI infrastructure and train the models. You, as a business owner, will train the AI for your specific needs.
AI sales agent le ke garna sakcha?
An AI sales agent can manage customer interactions. It can reply on WhatsApp and Instagram. It works 24 hours a day. This means no customer message goes unseen. Human staff might miss messages or take time to respond. An AI agent responds immediately, non-stop. This improves sales. Sales happen when responses are quick and consistent.
How do you teach an AI sales agent?
Training an AI sales agent is similar to training a new staff member. You provide it with information. For example, I trained an AI agent for a gym. I gave it all my sales courses and my sales course videos. I then chat with the AI. I tell it what I want it to do. I explain how to do it and what needs to be done. I ask it questions. This teaches the AI. Once you teach the AI, it repeats the task without drift. It learns from the information you provide and applies it consistently.
AI sales agent chalauna kati paisa lagcha?
The cost to run an AI sales agent is predictable. The main expense is the API (Application Programming Interface) cost. This is the fee for the AI to connect and operate on platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram. This cost is about NPR 10,000-12,000 per month. This is a fixed expense for 24 hours a day service. It is a consistent cost for non-stop work.
Do I need special hardware for AI?
Many people think they need expensive computers to run AI. This is not true for an AI sales agent. The AI runs on the provider's servers. It does not run on your computer. You only need a basic laptop or a phone with internet access. This is enough to start and manage your AI agent. My own setup is expensive, around 7,00,000 for my monitor, graphics card, processor, and MacBook. But this is not necessary for using an AI agent. Your basic device is sufficient because the heavy processing happens elsewhere.
Other uses of AI in business
Beyond sales agents, AI can automate many other business tasks. I use automation tools like Anaten (n8n) to connect different software. This allows for tasks like automatic social media responses, video uploads, or connecting Google Sheets to a CRM. I have built websites for clients using AI. For example, the Imperial Fitness website was built by giving prompts to AI. AI can handle many tasks that simplify your workflow. It can manage calendar appointments, staff hiring processes, and content creation workflows, like checking videos and sending them to editors for approval and upload.
AI is a powerful tool for business owners in Nepal. It offers leverage and increases productivity. Businesses outside Nepal have already adopted AI. If you are a business person in Nepal, consider using AI. It can help your operations.
I hope this information helps you understand how to use AI in your business. Learn it, use it. It makes work easier.
