Think about the tools and platforms you use on a daily basis to get your job done—specifically the ones you love. Now, think about what they have in common. We’d wager most of them save you time. And if they save you time, they probably make you more efficient, right? Everywhere you look, AI tools have been integrated into your daily life pretty seamlessly. 🗓️ ‘Suggested times’ on Google Calendar? AI. ✍️ Predictive text suggestions in Microsoft Word? AI. ⌨️ Auto-captioning on a YouTube upload? AI. Seriously, it’s everywhere. So when we see articles claiming more and more ad agencies are looking for ways to utilize AI, we can’t help but wonder what that actually means. Is it that they’re using generative AI tools to produce client work? Or are they just trying to automate the mundane and save the actual brain power for the good stuff? Well, we’re an agency, so we just asked some of our team what AI tools and features they’re using. Here’s what we got: ⌨️Scheduling messages ⏰Snoozing messages 📨Creating meeting invite templates 🗓️Scheduling repeat time blocking 🔎Proofreading 🪣Sorting or organizing messy data points Our takeaway? Saying more and more ad agencies are using AI to do their work makes for a great headline, but not exactly an honest one. Maybe they should read, “Ad Agencies use AI to Cut Back on Menial To-Do’s and Use Their Beautiful Brain Power Elsewhere.” Or something like that.
