AI workflow automation: What it is and how to get started
If your company's idea of "using AI" is keeping ChatGPT open in a browser tab-congrats, you're doing the bare minimum. You're also missing out on the real efficiency gains AI can deliver. Ad hoc prompting is great for one-off requests ("draft this email," "explain this bizarre spreadsheet formula"), but it doesn't scale-and it definitely doesn't count as integrating AI into your workflows. AI workflow automation is what happens when you build AI into repeatable processes instead: tasks like draf
Hootsuite vs. Buffer: Which social media management tool is best? [2026]
Whether you're an occasional poster or a social media marketer, you need social media management apps to automate posts, monitor performance, and run multiple social media accounts without too much chaos. There are plenty of options to choose from, but the two names you'll see popping up most often in this category are Buffer and Hootsuite. They're both synonymous with social media management, but they differ quite a bit in their features and how they approach the task at hand. I spent time test

Vultr targets open composable stacks and AMD partnership to lead cloud AI infrastructure
Cloud AI infrastructure is shifting into a new cycle, defined by who can deliver the strongest performance per dollar on a global setup that also meets different countries' sovereignty rules. That's the premise Vultr is executing on, according to Kevin Cochrane (pictured), chief marketing officer at Vultr Holdings LLC. The company began its AMD partnership on [...] The post Vultr targets open composable stacks and AMD partnership to lead cloud AI infrastructure appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Meta launched a new AI optimism ad set to a song about human extinction
David Bowie's song "Five Years," which Meta used in a supposedly inspiring advertisement, is about humans learning that they have five years left to live before the apocalypse.
YouTube clarifies policies around AI slop and upsetting videos
YouTube has updated its monetization policies to more clearly define the kinds of AI-generated and low-quality videos that can't earn ad revenue.
Anthropic's newest ad is creeping people out
Anthropic has consistently attempted to depict itself as the ethical foil to other AI companies. This latest marketing stunt - which leans into criticism of AI as a way to make Anthropic seem aware of the responsibility it carries - would appear to be more of the same.
Google will now disclose which ads are made with AI
While Google prohibits misleading and deceptive ads, an ad can still leverage AI to create some type of synthetic or digitally altered content. Until now, that's something Google only required election ads to disclose.
Meta just launched a new AI generator, Muse Image, and users are already pushing back over use of their photos
The new image-generating model has numerous use cases, including advertising and decorating, and creator-based opportunities.
Jasper vs. ChatGPT: Which is better? [2026]
At first glance, Jasper and ChatGPT seem similar-they're both generative AI tools that can create content in a split second. But there's a big difference here: ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that's flexible enough to handle just about any task you throw at it, while Jasper is a specialized AI marketing tool. I've spent countless hours using both apps in my personal and professional life. For example, I used Jasper to help me scale content production for my previously niche website. And I've been usin
The 16 best marketing newsletters in 2026
With new technologies like AI revolutionizing the way we approach marketing, the landscape is becoming increasingly more complex-and it feels like it's shifting every day. To stay up to date with the latest trends, I've become something of a marketing newsletter hoarder. To my own detriment, I've subscribed to more marketing newsletters than I can possibly read each day. And it doesn't help that I'm constantly leveraging X, Reddit, and LinkedIn for other people's recommendations. But my bad hab
The 4 best AI search engines in 2026
It often feels like Google search has gotten worse. While the issue is complicated, online search has never felt like such a chore. Not only do you have to hop through numerous links to pinpoint what you're searching for, but you also have to navigate a maze of ads, spam, and pop-ups. Even then, how often do you find the answers you need? AI search engines claim they're the solution, so let's see. The new breed of AI search engines combines the tech behind AI chatbots like ChatGPT with traditio
B2B social media marketing: How to build a strategy that converts
I recently came across a LinkedIn post from a B2B software company that opened with: "We're not just a platform. We're a family." It had 847 likes. Eight hundred and forty-seven adult humans looked at that sentence and thought, "Yes, more of this." Moments like that capture everything wrong with B2B social media marketing and everything weirdly, frustratingly right about it. Wrong, because "we're a family" is so familiar, yet so aggressively non-specific. Right, because those 847 people engaged-

At Cannes Lions, NVIDIA Partners Reshape Advertising and Marketing With AI
The digital era gave the advertising and marketing industry speed; the AI era is giving it autonomous operations.

How a two-person SEO shop is building an engine to run twelve clients in thirty minutes a month
Adrian Martinez, who runs the Toronto agency Hire Adrian with his wife, is building an AI delivery system to serve roughly twelve SEO and answer engine optimization clients while keeping the team at two people. The goal is to shrink hands-on work from 10 to 15 hours per client each month down to about 30 minutes, without hiring account managers. He pairs Claude for planning and decisions with Zapier MCP, which connects the agent to WordPress, reporting tools, and image generation so plans turn into real production work.
The 17 best AI marketing tools in 2026
Zapier's 2026 roundup picks 17 AI marketing tools and sorts them by the job a marketer needs done, from making visuals to tracking whether a brand shows up in ChatGPT answers. The core message is that most marketers do not need every AI feature on the market. The author, who tested the tools, argues the bigger win comes from matching a few tools to real workflows and connecting them so they work together instead of in silos.
