How to Automate Your Business with AI Tools

Mike Koenigs demonstrates an end-to-end workflow for automating business training and documentation using AI tools. He records a video, transcribes it (using MacWhisper), uploads the transcript to NotebookLM, asks ChatGPT to convert the transcript into a step-by-step SOP, and then uses Napkin AI to turn the SOP into editable visual diagrams. The demo emphasizes creating reusable, team-shareable SOPs and includes the actual prompts and UI actions used during the process.

Hey, this is Mike again. A couple moments ago I walked you through step by step how to use Google's Notebook lm. And what that included was I demonstrated step by step how you can upload different content, generate books, scripts, any kind of valuable anything. And here's what it looks like. So you can see how I'm sharing you sharing my screen. This is what it looks like. I generated a video. I was actually going to make another video right now with some of the information I made. But that's not what this is about. Let me show you what I'm going to do now. So this is the master document, this is the tutorial. And I just grabbed the transcript from the video I made. Now I use a tool, it's called MacWhisper, but you could upload it into anything. That was my upload my directions. Okay. So I can copy this. Boom. Like that.
And now I'm going to go to Chat GPT.
Create a new chat and I'm going to say I want you to turn this transcript into a step by step SOP about how to use NotebookLM to.
Generate books, scripts or.
Learn content at blazingly fast speeds, period.
So I'm going to just paste my. That's the whole transcript right there. I'm going to hit enter and it's taking this. And what the intent is is we want self managing businesses, right? So what it did is it's going through my entire video. It's telling me step by step what to do. And now I'm building an SOP that I can pass along with the video to my team so they can do this for me from now on. Okay. And you'll see that you know, it's building that. But in a moment, while it's building this, I'm going to go to another one of my favorite tools. It's called Napkin AI. This will allow us to make visuals from our texts. Okay. Really, really quickly. So I'm going to turn this entire SOP into a visual diagram. And by the way, this is free. So here's my new napkin. It'll be blank. Let's go back over to Chat GPT and see if it's done. It's already done. I'm going to copy it. Boom. Just like that. Now first of all, I'm going to paste this into the notebook and sop. Okay, that's pretty cool. Step by step. Here's how to do it. You can watch the video, but let's go back to Napkin. I'm going to paste that same information in Here. Now, there it is. So I'm going to select each of the steps and click on this lightning bolt thing. So it's examining all this stuff and down below it's going to build us a beautiful diagram and on exactly how it works. Okay, so maybe I'll want something that looks like this or this corkscrew thing or this little dealio. So which one of these Tim's in the background. Tim, out of all these.
That one's kind of cool, but my instincts are that one looked pretty good. So I'm going to click on that. We can click on styles, and it's got different icons, different fonts. Which one of these kind of pop for you? The last. Right there. Okay, so I click on that. Now it built it. And these are completely clickable and editable. But you know, we're in a rush right now because it's Vivian's birthday and we got to take her out. So I can click on no background or background. Whether or not we want high resolution, I can go to Clipboard or download it. I'll download this, too. Hi, puppy. Hello. Hi. It's nice to see you too. We got a nice puppy in the background. So I'm going to just save that picture and then we're going to go back into our notebook and just paste it in here. And now we've got a step by step sop. So everything, all the instructions with the examples, all the prompts that I gave to you are in here.
So let's just review what we've done so far. First step, how to use Notebook lm train it with content, how to extract information, how to create synthetic podcasts, how to create video scripts, how to create books. This one was step by step how to take any kind of training content, in this case, the training content video I made for you, transcribe it, turn it into an SOP with a prompt, which, by the way, I'll do you another favor. I'm going to give you the little prompt that I built.
And it's right here. See that? But boom.
There. And I'll put this in here. And now you've got my step by step prompts.
And the way I usually generate these is I go.
Here'S the.
Go ahead, Chat GPT prompt, paste it. And whenever I make a prompt, I always turn it into courier because I know it's something I'm feeding into Chat GPT. All right? And that should be scripts.
But you'll notice Chat GPT didn't even care. It knows what I meant. All right. So I'm going to end up putting this video into this document, too. And now you got both. Both how to make an SOP and how to make how to use NotebookLM. I hope you enjoyed this. And. Well, that's it. Appreciate you so much.
