Introduction: More Tools, More Confusion
AI is everywhere — and that’s exactly the problem.
Every week, we get the same question from clients:
“Which tools should I actually use?”
With thousands of AI platforms on the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Some look powerful but are clunky. Others go viral but deliver minimal value.
At ESP, we’ve tested, implemented, and optimized hundreds of tools across industries — so our clients don’t have to.
This article is your shortcut.
Our Approach: Simplicity + Integration
We don't chase trends. We build systems that work.
What matters isn’t how many tools you use — it’s how well they work together, and how much they reduce manual work.
Here’s how we recommend and implement AI tools at ESP:
- Based on your business model, not hype
- Integrated with your CRM, site, or workflows (often Odoo-based)
- Measured by ROI, not novelty
Whether you’re a freelancer, startup founder, or growing SME, here are the tools we consistently trust and deploy.
1. ChatGPT
Use it for: Content writing, product descriptions, emails, idea testing, internal documents
Why: It’s fast, adaptable, and easy to train on your voice or tone.
How ESP uses it:
- Drafting blog articles, proposals, and outreach copy
- Generating customer personas
- Brainstorming naming, headlines, value props
We train clients on how to get meaningful results — not generic AI fluff.
2. Zapier (or Make)
Use it for: Workflow automation (no code)
Why: These tools connect apps like Google Sheets, Odoo, Gmail, Notion, and more.
How ESP uses it:
- Auto-send email when a lead fills out a form
- Sync website inquiries to a CRM
- Create automated task flows or content publishing triggers
Most clients say this one tool saves them 10+ hours/month.
3. Canva (Pro)
Use it for: Design without designers
Why: It’s intuitive and AI-enhanced — great for solo operators or lean teams
How ESP uses it:
- Creating branded social posts
- Building decks and proposals
- Generating quick ad graphics, flyers, or labels
- Designing product mockups
We provide brand templates so you look premium from day one.
4. Notion AI
Use it for: Content planning, knowledge hubs, SOPs
Why: Combines notes, docs, and AI assistant in one workspace
How ESP uses it:
- Managing blog pipelines and launch calendars
- Drafting internal documentation
- AI-generated summaries and structure proposals
Especially powerful for teams who want one workspace to organize ideas and execute.
5. Odoo
Use it for: Everything from websites to invoicing, CRM, and more
Why: It’s modular, open-source, and affordable — perfect for scaling small businesses
How ESP uses it:
- Automating client onboarding
- Syncing online store orders to delivery workflows
- Setting up internal dashboards, team portals, and ticketing
- Running email marketing and forms from one place
For many clients, Odoo becomes their central command center — AI tools just plug in around it.

How We Implement These at ESP
We don't just hand you a list — we build your actual workflows:

Most clients are live and automated in 2–3 weeks.
Final Thought
In 2025, AI isn’t an edge — it’s the baseline.
If your competitors are working faster, sounding sharper, and closing more clients…
It’s probably not because they’re smarter.
It’s because their systems are smarter.
ESP helps you build those systems — with the right tools, not all the tools.
