How to Use AI to Make Better Business Decisions
July 8, 2025

Want to make better business decisions? Start by bringing on an AI copilot.
You grip the wheel of a dusty Land Cruiser, dashboard lit, your sweaty back stuck to the leather seats. Running your company means steering your team through unpredictable terrain. With the wind in your hair, you experience both the rugged peaks of success and the occasional foggy stretch where you can’t see the best way forward. You could use a calm, all-seeing navigator.
That’s what AI is becoming: a smart, steady copilot. It watches the gauges, calls out the warning signs, and spots paths you might miss while juggling the hundred other things that demand your attention. It doesn’t run the show. It provides much-needed information. With clearer data points, you can refine every judgment call you make.
Keep your hands firmly on the wheel. We’ll show you how to let AI ride alongside you.
AI Spots Your Blind Spots First
On a typical Monday, you spend your day knocking out projects and chasing leads. The faster you move, the greater the risk of missing something. Some tasks just slip through the cracks.
AI helps you catch what you didn’t even know you missed.
AI flags inconsistencies and sweeps the area for anything that deserves a second look. Put your analytics dashboards and content drafts to good use. Let AI pick up what your human brain might overlook.
AI doesn’t do your job for you. Here are five practical ways to let AI help you do your job better:
1. Weekly Check-Ins and Smart Debriefings
Try dropping your Google Analytics report into a chat window every week.
Ask AI to break down the analytics report for you. Ask AI, “What changed this week? What could be the reason? What’s trending? What should I care about?” Ask solid follow-up questions.
AI will scan the data and give it to you straight:

- “Your traffic dipped 12%. This could be the holiday lull.”
- “Mobile conversions rose. That Instagram campaign shows promise.”
- “One page loads super slow. It's worth a fix.”
Walk away with insights, not just numbers. No more wrinkled foreheads trying to guess your next step. AI clearly highlights possible actions you can take.
2. Use AI to Review Your Course
Nobody runs at 100% all the time. Whether you lead a lean two-person outfit or captain a full-scale team, AI rides shotgun and keeps watch while you press forward. I asked members of the JamboJon crew how they use AI in each of their roles. Here’s the behind-the-scenes feedback:
Developers: Debug and Build Smarter
AI loves data! Use that natural tracker’s instinct to your advantage. Dump your raw data into AI. Specify what you need and why. Give it clear guidelines and begin asking questions. Watch it:
- Write basic code so you don’t have to start from scratch.
- Troubleshoot the bugs in your code by using current feedback from others’ resolutions.
- Simplify, condense, and consolidate information into clean, workable templates.
- Spot possible errors and give solutions.
- Collaborate like a second set of eyes.
- Suggest best practices from thousands of other developers.
Example of a prompt: “I am trying to recreate an element that is on a website that is created using elementor. The module is called hover card carousel. The site I am adding it to is built using Beaver Builder and does not have this module as an option so I would like to recreate it programmatically using HTML, CSS, and JS with the following enhancements:
1 - I'd like it to be a row that has 3 images visible but others scroll on every 5 seconds.
2 - It's always the middle one that expands on hover so if you hover on an image it moves to the middle (2 of 3) and enlarges.
3 - I would like arrows on the sides for the carousel scroll effect
Can you help me create an HTML block to get started?”
Designers:
Feed AI your creative brief. Tell it all about your target audience, your brand archetype, your vision, your goals, and the vibe you want to achieve. It will suggest:
- Visual themes and elements that might help move the needle
- Layouts and color palettes to match the mission
- Ways to sense-check your design. Are you on track?
- Streamlined changes based on feedback
- Ideas to refine your look
Example of a prompt: “I am designing a home page for a luxury home builder in Southern Utah that specializes in modern and contemporary home builds. Instead of homeowners, they are targeting large business owners willing to invest in their 2 million dollar plus property as a business retreat for over 50+ employees. They identify with the “ruler” brand archetype and want a sleek, stripped down, modern feel to their page, while still appealing to those who want luxury. Their hex colors are ____. Please suggest layouts, color palettes and visual themes or elements that would appeal to the target audience.”
Writers and Marketers:
Think of AI as an editor who never sleeps and rarely misses a typo. Feed AI the basic rundown on your client, their offer, the target audience, and brand archetype. It will:
- Churn out a first draft so you’re not staring at a blank page until midnight
- Suggest feedback to tighten the message
- Double-check your tone and brand voice
- Analyze your SEO and offer alternatives
- Trim the fluff, punch up the verbs or catch a message mismatch
Example of a prompt: “I am writing a one-page guide for my client, Dr. Smith. He is based primarily in Utah County and has two locations, one in Pleasant Grove, and the other in Provo. While he specializes in internal medicine for adults, he is opening up a new dermatology offering at his practice. He recently purchased the XXXL laser, which will help treat acne for young adults. He can also treat rosacea and eczema. He would like to appeal to the 18-35 year old student population at the two major universities in the area. He offers payment plans for those on tight student budgets. He recognizes this as a source of embarrassment for his patients and wants them to be confident at this stage of life. He prefers the voice of the “Caregiver” brand archetype. His contact info is as follows: ___.”
3. Don’t Just Read the Data, Translate it.
If you’re not familiar with the map, it’s hard to read. AI translates your data into plain English, and more importantly, finds the story inside the numbers. It paints the full picture. You make the call on what to do next.
If you work in admin, plan a monthly route review. Feed AI your KPIs and goals. Have it compare progress and recommend your next high-impact move. It can even tweak your pricing structure and compare it with your competitors. With AI, you will cover more ground, miss fewer markers, and steer toward the summit with eyes wide open.
TRY THIS:
Drop in your:
- Client reports
- Customer feedback
- Survey results
- Quarterly reviews
Then ask:
- What are the top three takeaways?
- Where are the weak spots?
- How do we compare to last quarter?
Big reports feel like white noise. AI translates them into manageable routes that get us where we want to go.
4. Simplify and Spot Errors
Most business owners tackle each day like another messy, uphill climb. AI untangles the chaos. It transforms the disarray into a clean, actionable checklist. It spots the gaps in the workflows, missed follow-ups, unclear steps, and duplicate entries. It suggests smarter ways to streamline the process.
Use it to:
- Break big jobs into bite-sized steps.
- Catch formatting issues or missing pieces
- Combine tasks into streamlined workflows.
- Pull solutions from conversations across the internet.
AI pulls from millions of answers online and narrows down the best fit for you. It’s not magic, it’s efficient. When the trail gets tangled, AI hands you the machete.
Entrepreneurs, you don’t need to be tech-savvy! Simply travel lighter. Let AI smooth out the bumpy parts of your progress and focus on gaining higher ground. Don’t be tripped up by repetitive, mundane tasks. Instead of spending hours wrestling with formatting, phrasing, and order flow, let your AI copilot grapple with that. It will free up the energy to go after the bigger, more meaningful challenges. Work smarter, not just faster.

Stay Curious, Keep Moving
At JamboJon, we believe in curiosity. We ask questions. We test tools. We venture beyond the paved roads. That’s why AI fits so well into the journey.
It doesn’t try to replace your instincts. It sharpens them.

- Run your next email through for clarity and tone.
Pull that Land Cruiser off to the side of the road and take a breather. Stretch your arms over your head as you look out over the horizon. You don’t have to go it alone. AI offers a reliable second voice in the room. One that listens, checks, calculates, and offers smart feedback without ego or judgment.
