The PaperlessZone Updates

ChatGPT for Business: 215 Ways to Leverage AI for Growth in 2024

We released a new article on our blog breaking down 215 use cases for ChatGPT or similar LLMs in a business context. While this article is already massive, we will release more articles soon diving much deeper into the different use cases, including step-by-step tutorials and example prompts.

All Content in English Only

We decided to remove all German content from our website and simplify our marketing. Since we speak multiple languages it first seemed appealing to provide the same content in several languages. But it turned out to increase complexity and workload by a lot and at the same time reduced congruency among our channels.

Headless CMS Challenges

We were facing technical challenges with our existing headless CMS system (Strapi). We transitioned our backend to WordPress now and use it in headless mode. Meaning that we only use WordPress to manage our content but keep our custom-coded frontend and consume the WordPress APIs. The WordPress CMS is much more flexible, open-source, has more features, and increased our workflow speed. We set up this system in half the time thanks to AI. Stay tuned for an upcoming article.
