AI-assisted marketing research and synthesis

Use AI to accelerate research, synthesize information, and summarize large volumes of inputs — from competitor data and research docs to customer call notes, social listening exports, and stakeholder briefs — into actionable marketing summaries. Review and validate before using in campaigns or recommendations.

Why the human is still essential here

A marketer must curate the right inputs, verify sources and accuracy, apply domain judgment, and turn summaries into on-brand strategy and decisions.

Knowing which AI to use is now a marketing superpower.

Knowing which AI to use is now a marketing superpower.



Most people just pick ChatGPT for everything. Smart marketers match the tool to the task, and that changes everything.


Here is how I use each one in my workflow as a Digital Marketing Specialist and Social Media Manager.


ChatGPT is my strategic operator. Great for brainstorming campaign ideas, automating workflows, and daily content execution.


Claude is my writing expert. When I need deep analysis, long-form copy, or polished ad scripts, this is my first call.


Gemini is my visual brain. Perfect when working inside Google tools or handling image and data tasks in one place.


DeepSeek is my logic thinker. Precision math, technical problem solving, and budget calculations for ad campaigns.


Perplexity is my research engine. Before I launch any campaign, I use it to gather market data, trends, and competitor insights.


Grok is my real-time pulse. When I need to know what is trending right now before crafting social content, this is where I go.


As someone who runs paid ads, manages communities, creates Canva graphics, and converts leads into actual sales, I am not loyal to one AI. I am loyal to results.


The marketers winning in 2026 are not the ones who simply know AI exists. They are the ones who know which AI to deploy, when, and why.

My mom asked me how I use AI at work.

My mom asked me how I use AI at work.

“For everything” wasn’t a very helpful answer. 😅


So I typed up these steps I often go through (this specific list was for creating web pages, but the process is often similar for other deliverables).


Nobody asked except my mom 😉, but here is my process:



WRITING WEB COPY WITH AI


1. Start with my brain: no AI yet

Dig up existing documents on the topic I need to write about, jot down notes that come to mind, review competitor pages, roughly map page structure...


2. Generate a first draft with AI

- Have AI make a “web page copy brief” based on my notes/outline, plus our Domo product positioning doc

- Using that brief, generate a first draft of the page via a Web Copywriter Agent I made

- Go back & forth with the agent to iterate on messaging


3. Switch into research mode with AI

To confirm I’m on the right track, switch gears and use:

- Gemini’s Deep Research Agent for additional market & competitive context

- My own Voice-of-Customer Agent trained on real customer comments


4. Go back and critique the draft with AI

Feed those findings back into the Copy Agent. Ask it to critique the draft against things like market direction, analyst framing, and customer language. Make adjustments accordingly.


5. Critique the draft with humans

Align with PMs and other stakeholders, and refine again.



I find the best outputs come when I alternate between using AI for creation and critique.


I like breaking the project up into several steps, wiping the context between chats, and using my *very own human brain* heavily throughout the process.


It takes more time, but I think it’s worth it. :)



Any other favorite AI tricks I should add to the list? (It’s for my mom, I promise !!)

Everyone is using AI in one capacity or another.

Everyone is using AI in one capacity or another.

I mostly use it for summarization. To take a lot of information and make it more digestible. But I am begging content marketers to please use it sparingly. It cheapens what we do. Too many times I see a post or a reply clearly written by ChatGPT and not edited, vetted, or in a company’s voice whatsoever.


Maybe I can spot it more than most but when I see something so clearly written by ChatGPT it’s an immediate turn off. It lacks sincerity. It lacks authenticity. It lacks originality.


Ask yourself:


▪️Is this adding value?

▪️Is this accurate?

▪️Is this undermining your brand’s message?

▪️Is this undermining everything we do?


It takes two minutes to review and edit a prompt response. You can be an expert at leveraging AI and still be a marketing and branding expert. Don’t take the easy road and cheapen both your voice and your brand’s. You’re doing yourself and your clients a disservice.

AI automation earns its place in my workflow in areas where human review remains part of the process.

AI automation earns its place in my workflow in areas where human review remains part of the process. Research, drafting, reporting, brainstorming, synthesizing data, and building first versions of things that I evaluate before anything goes live. That's where I get the efficiency gains without gambling on my client's business.

The marketing automation tools that worry me are those marketed specifically on the promise of removing human judgment from the loop.


For many of my clients, my judgment, based on years of experience working in highly sensitive and regulated niches, isn't a bottleneck; it's the service they're expecting.

Your AI stack is already outdated

I test a new AI tool every week, and this month 10 earned a permanent spot in my workflow. I used to spend hours doing things manually until I started systematically experimenting. The tools I kept help me move faster across writing (voice-to-text for long emails, WhatsApp replies, and high-context prompts), meetings (invisible AI note-taking for sensitive client calls), research (source-grounded summarization and internal-doc audio overviews), automations (agent/workflow builders for recurring research and backend workflows), and content production (transcript-based video editing, AI voice generation/repairs for marketing voiceovers, and video generation models for cinematic clips).
