From reducing manufacturing costs to streamlining overseas shipping and optimizing Facebook ads, AI is transforming the way we run every part of our business. Therapywear launched the world’s first infrared heated hoodie designed for neck, back, and shoulder pain relief in late 2024. Despite early success with sold-out inventory and strong customer reviews, we faced bottlenecks in manufacturing expenses and lengthy overseas shipping delays. By investing in ChatGPT Pro’s AI capabilities, including live web browsing and powerful data synthesis, we uploaded every detail from Shopify sales, Meta ad campaigns, QuickBooks finances, product patents, and more. This enabled us to get AI-driven insights and solutions faster than ever. Watch as I demonstrate how AI helped us find reliable overseas manufacturers that can produce our complex heated clothing product at a competitive cost and offer direct-to-customer shipping to eliminate long lead times. I also show how ChatGPT assisted in drafting outreach emails and how this new way of running a brand can be a game-changer for entrepreneurs.
