By now, you’ve probably heard how using AI tools can help you create assets like blog posts, emails, client education materials, and social media posts. Maybe you’ve asked ChatGPT to help you explain a complex condition to a client, or employed chatbots on your website to assist pet owners with routine questions. 

These tasks are only the tip of the iceberg of AI’s latest advancements and capabilities. The right platforms and use cases allow AI to assist in everyday life and practice in ways that might surprise you. Here are five creative examples of AI use to elevate your artificial intelligence experience.

 

1. Use AI to plan team travel

Planning a CE trip for yourself or coordinating travel for a large team can be time-consuming. AI can act as your personal assistant by comparing flights, hotels, and schedules to find the best deals and most practical timelines. Mobile apps, such as Roam Around or GuideGeek, use AI models to craft travel itineraries and identify attractions and events near your destination.

You can also use ChatGPT’s newest version, GPT-5, which has web-browsing capabilities, to analyze conference schedules and find lectures you can attend as a group, or plan meals and outings based on everyone’s preferences and availability.

 

2. Use AI for inventory and ordering

Manually comparing product costs, shipping times, and bundle discounts across multiple vendors is tedious and time-consuming, but repetitive tasks like these are excellent candidates for AI-powered automation. Using carefully-crafted prompts or a custom GPT, you can ask an AI agent for help comparing prices and optimizing ordering decisions. AI can’t replace your inventory manager, but it can be a great (and impartial) tool to support decision-making.

 

3. Use AI to screen resumes and recruit

Hiring is tough, and finding the right fit in a sea of disorganized resumes is even harder. AI systems can summarize candidate qualifications or compare applicant materials against a job description, helping you identify the standout applicants according to your specifications. On the flip side, AI-driven tools and AI assistants can also help you write a job description that accurately reflects your hospital culture and role expectations without boring readers with cookie-cutter content.

 

4. Use AI to brainstorm new service ideas

Let’s say your team wants to try something new, such as a patient weight loss program, subscription-based preventive care plan, or a puppy socialization workshop, but you’re struggling to find time to get it off the ground. Use ChatGPT or another machine-learning platform to brainstorm program structure, clever name ideas, or advice on implementation and troubleshooting. A blank slate is intimidating, but the use of AI can help get the creative juices flowing.

 

5. Use AI to support team wellness

Veterinary work is inherently stressful, but AI can support wellness beyond simplifying clinic workflows in your software or writing emails with generative AI and natural language processing. A growing number of apps use artificial intelligence to personalize mental health support. Purchasing subscriptions for your team allows AI to help reduce stress and promote a healthier work environment. Try Wysa, Woebot, or Headspace to show your team that wellbeing matters.

Using AI to find new efficiencies in your practice and your team’s daily lives can help to make veterinary work a little less overwhelming. AI is adaptable, so you can tailor its use to your needs. Pick one or two applications of AI that interest you, then see what feels right—you’re in control of how you use AI to enhance your professional and personal life.
