Essentially, any business that has writing and SEO needs can benefit from the power of INK.
What do you see as the limitations of AI as it exists today?
Remember back in the day when SEO was all about keyword stuffing? The more keywords crammed in a text, the better, right? Now we know to use keywords in a much more sparingly and nuanced way.
Some limitations of AI are similar to this outdated practice and include AI that doesn’t account for the context of language. Also, most AI solutions on the market do not include SEO features. But not INK.
INK is powered by KUPE, an advanced transformer-based AI. It is able to understand the context and meaning of text. Our technology does not stop there. INK recognizes your writing goal and makes your content perform.
What do you see as the future potential of AI in marketing?
We’ve heard that AI is the future for a long-time. Well, the future is now. AI is and will be a huge part of content creation. It’s inevitable. That doesn’t mean that AI will necessarily replace a writer's talent. It means that the best tools will incorporate AI to empower and write with you—not for you.
Any other thoughts on AI in marketing, or advice for marketers who are just starting with AI?
Don’t be afraid to incorporate AI in your marketing efforts or content strategy. With the right tools, you can streamline your content production. Rather than replace your brand’s unique voice, using AI is a time-saver and productivity booster.
The time you will save by using AI over manual writing Every. Single. Word. of your content—that time savings you can put into finessing the AI output and shaping it to your liking. With sophisticated AI software, the time it will take to smooth out any outputs before you hit publish will be minimal.
