One woman is sharing how she was able to earn the equivalent of £524.58 a month in her side-hustle thanks to AI.
Nicole Cueto is a public relations consultant from New York but has a second job working as a travel agent.
She helps customers plan their holidays from making flights to booking reservations for hotels.
When Ms. Cueto started her side-hustle in January of this year, she was spending five to seven hours planning one trip.
Since utilising ChatGPT, the entrepreneur has been able to reduce her “research time in half”.
Speaking to CNBC: Make It, the side-hustler broke down how A.I. chatbot has allowed her to cut her working time and make more money.
She explained: “I’ve been to Paris a thousand times, but if I have a client that wants to discover the depths of the city from an old-school perspective, I don’t really know how to do that.
“So, I’ll type in, ‘Give me a budget-conscious guide to Paris that incorporates historical neighbourhoods where politicians lived in the 1880s.”
ChatGPT uses generative AI that allows people to enter into prompts into an online chat and receive recommended text and videos in return.
For example, users can get recommendations for restaurants and day trips if they are planning a vacation.
According to Ms. Cueto, adopting ChatGPT’s proposed itinerary without further research could be potentially risky.
However, the businesswoman shared that she is ready and equipped to do any fact-checking.
She believes it is more efficient than using traditional search engines and the time that is saved allows her to make a lot more money.
As of this year, Ms. Cueto is working 10 to 20 hours per week on her side hustle which is down from before.
The entrepreneur currently charges around $42 (£32.99) per hour for her services and earns an extra $670 (£520) a month
However, Ms. Cueto is not the only side hustler who has taken on AI to their own advantage in business.
A former chef turned photographer revealed how AI was vital for him bringing in six figures, as reported in the Daily Express.
