From the Boardwalk to business hubs in Ventnor, artificial intelligence isn’t just hype in Atlantic City—it’s changing how real people work. For small businesses, freelancers, and students across South Jersey, ChatGPT and Gemini are now more than tools. They’re personal prompt engineers—building custom instructions that automate tedious tasks, unlock creativity, and free up time for what matters.
ChatGPT and Gemini—two chatbots powered by advanced artificial intelligence—aren’t just answering questions. Here, they’re solving real local challenges: drafting emails for small shop owners, scripting Facebook posts for local events, or even writing up city council meeting summaries for hyperlocal bloggers.
I spoke to several Atlantic County freelancers and business owners. The common theme?
They no longer guess what to ask their AI—they prompt ChatGPT to engineer the instructions first.
Atlantic City marketing consultant Jamie R. told me,
“Instead of saying ‘write me a newsletter,’ I prompt ChatGPT to build the perfect prompt. It asks who my audience is, what tone fits this week’s issue, and what outcome I want—then writes the email exactly how I’d say it. I’ve never had faster engagement.”
Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, is making inroads among local entrepreneurs, especially in service industries and tourism. Owners use Gemini to craft research-driven prompts, analyze customer reviews from Google and Yelp, and summarize feedback from their own Atlantic City boardwalk stalls or Somers Point cafes.
One restaurateur explained,
“I paste a month’s worth of TripAdvisor and Google Maps reviews into Gemini, then prompt: ‘Build a report that highlights recurring compliments and pain points from Atlantic City diners. Suggest two menu improvements and one new weekly special for summer tourists.’
It’s like hiring a research assistant—except it’s instant, and local.”
Students at Stockton University are using Gemini to create detailed study and revision prompts that save them hours during finals week.
“Gemini turned my history notes into a quiz, then corrected my answers and gave Atlantic City references for local context. I’ve never scored higher,” says sophomore Lily T.
Claude, Anthropic’s chatbot built for empathy and natural language, is the secret ingredient for South Jersey creatives who don’t want their emails or posts to sound robotic. After generating copy with ChatGPT or Gemini, many users send it through Claude with a prompt like:
“Rewrite this Instagram post to sound like a friendly local sharing tips, not a corporation.”
Result:
Local realtor Jessica B. says,
“Claude made my listing posts sound like a friend inviting you for coffee, not just another sales pitch. My DMs went up 3x after I started using it.”
As AI workflows become more important in local business and media, Atlantic City teams are turning to Chatronix to keep it all organized. Chatronix lets you:
Business coach and Egg Harbor entrepreneur Andre D. tells me,
“I use Chatronix to save my best prompts for social posts, fundraising appeals, and blog updates. Now, every time a big local event hits—like the Airshow or Restaurant Week—I’m ready to launch content in minutes, not hours.”
