Generate purchase orders automatically from incoming orders
A New York jewellery founder built a system that feeds orders into a work-management board and uses AI to generate purchase orders for sourcing. She also uses ChatGPT around 30–40 times a day for emails and marketing ideas, and an AI email client for triage.
