In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we’re talking all about the tasks you can hand off to AI to get ahead of the busiest stretch of the year. Along the way, we’re also getting honest about what leaning on AI day to day can really feel like, and why that’s worth paying attention to as the holidays approach. Each idea is simple to put into practice, so you can lighten your plate and actually enjoy the season.

5 Things to Hand Off to AI This Holiday Season

November and December are some of the busiest months of the year for direct sellers, between holiday sales, parties, gifts, and get-togethers. Getting a head start in November means you can actually enjoy the season when it arrives, and AI can take a lot off your plate along the way.

The Hidden Cost of Handing Off the Busy Work

As a human brand that uses AI to work smarter, we’re all in on handing off busy work. Still, when AI takes the low-level tasks, what’s left is a steady stream of drafts to review and decisions to make, and the hours you save can easily fill right back up. If your energy has felt depleted lately, give yourself permission to pause, take a walk, or jot ideas down in an old-school notebook.

One Gift Guide, Five Pieces of Content

A holiday gift guide is an easy first project for AI, whether it’s gifts for teachers, picks under $50, or ideas for the person who has everything. Once it’s drafted, AI can turn it into a web page, a post, an email, and a text to your customers, and OHMi inside Oh My Hi can even draft the web pages and design a downloadable PDF.

Keep Your Family Shopping List in One Place

Instead of juggling scraps of paper and the Notes app, drop your family gift list and budget into one conversation in Claude or ChatGPT. Add to it whenever an idea strikes, and lean on it to brainstorm gifts for the hard-to-shop-for people in your life.

Get More Mileage from Every Video

Start with one long-form video, drop the transcript into your AI tool, and turn it into a recap post, an email, a reel, or a text blast. People are checking stories, posts, texts, and email during the holidays, so repurposing helps you show up wherever they’re paying attention.

Your Customers Are Handing You Content Ideas

When a customer asks you a question in a DM, have AI draft an answer you can save for an FAQ section and turn into posts, reels, or emails. If one person is asking, there are probably plenty more wondering the same thing.

Finding the Words for Gratitude and Reflection

AI can help you keep track of who to thank this year and find the right words, while you still handwrite the notes or send a personal voice message. It can also summarize your year and pull out the wins that are hard to brag about yourself.

Pick One and Give Yourself Room to Breathe

You don’t have to tackle all five, so pick one and let AI take it off your list. If a gift guide page is first, you can grab a free Capture and Convert homepage and begin building (or letting OHMi build) your Oh My Hi website.
