Exposing How AI Is Sold to Marketers

The Must-Ask Questions Before You Buy That AI Tool

Lately, it feels like every marketing tool on the planet has decided it’s “AI-powered.”

From campaign dashboards to forecasting platforms, everyone’s slapping on the label. But what does that actually mean? And how much of it is real?

Some tools use machine learning in meaningful ways; like letting you ask questions in plain English and turning that into actionable data. That’s a legitimate use of AI. But in plenty of cases, platforms are just using good old-fashioned algorithms and packaging them as something smarter.

Predictive insights, competitor benchmarking, even those slick dashboards might rely more on rule-based systems and statistical models than anything resembling deep learning.

The real issue is transparency. Most of these tools are closed off. You can’t see what models they’re using, how they’re trained, or whether they’re introducing bias into your decisions. For marketers without a background in computer science, it’s almost impossible to validate the claims. And that’s risky, because people are being asked to trust these systems, often with no proof that the AI is adding actual value.

And yet, marketing as a profession has fully embraced some of these ‘AI tools’ as AI . Which is odd, considering we’re the ones who are supposed to see through marketing fluff.

Just because a platform says it’s powered by AI doesn’t mean it’s better. In fact, if a vendor can’t explain what the AI is doing, or how it improves outcomes compared to traditional software, you’re probably just buying into the label.

There’s still huge value in tools that genuinely use AI to improve performance, automate repetitive tasks, or offer insights we couldn’t get on our own. But if the AI is a black box, and no one can tell you what it’s doing? That’s not a revolution. That’s just a rebrand.

So ask the hard questions. Push for specifics. And don’t let “AI-powered” be the reason you open your wallet. Let it be the reason you open the conversation.

AI TOOL OF THE WEEK

Neuroflash Blends AI and Psychology for Better Copy

Neuroflash is an AI writing tool designed to help marketers create content that resonates emotionally and connects with audiences on a deeper level.

It combines GPT‑4, accessed via the OpenAI API, with neuropsychological models trained on behavioural data and consumer insights. While GPT‑4 generates the base text, the neuropsych layers analyse and refine it to enhance emotional resonance, tone, and subconscious appeal.

Why We Like It

Most AI writers mainly focus on grammar, flow, or keyword optimisation. Neuroflash goes further by using neuropsychological models trained on behavioural data and consumer insights to analyse how your message truly resonates on a human level. It predicts emotional impact and tests content for connection before it goes live, which helps you craft copy that moves people, not just checks boxes.

Key Features:

GPT‑4 + neuropsychology combo for emotionally-tuned messaging

PerformanceFlash predicts short-form copy impact pre-launch

ChatFlash delivers on-brand AI chatbot responses

ContentFlash supports multilingual copy (7+ languages)

Image generator & SEO tools built into the platform

Brand voice customisation lets you set and maintain consistent tone

Knowledge base integration allows uploading of company assets for tailored content

A/B testing support to compare messaging variations for best results

Real-time content scoring based on emotional and engagement metrics

Collaboration tools for teams to review, edit, and approve content

Templates for ads, blogs, emails, and social posts to speed up workflows

ONE QUICK AI HACK

Create a ChatGPT ‘Project’ for Any Campaign

Project Description

A dedicated ChatGPT workspace where you keep briefs, brainstorm ideas, draft copy, and store up to 40 files - complete with Voice Mode, Deep Research, and one-click share-links for quick feedback.

Setup Steps

  1. Start a Project:
    Click New Project in the left sidebar and name it after your campaign.

  2. Load your assets:
    Drag in the brief, brand guidelines, past reports, mood boards—Projects now allow up to 40 files.

  3. Add Project Instructions:
    Paste something like:
    “You’re my campaign strategist. Summarise each file on upload, track key data points, and recall them in future chats. Keep brand tone consistent and highlight emotional resonance in all copy.”

  4. Choose the extras that suit you:
    Prefer talking? Enable Voice Mode to brainstorm hands-free.

    Need competitive intel? Use Deep Research to pull rival taglines and compare tone.

    Want quick feedback? Draft copy, then click Share → Create link to let teammates view that single chat thread

  5. Iterate & store:
    Ask for headlines, ad variants, or social captions, refine them, then keep final creative in the same Project for easy reference.

Why It’s Useful

ChatGPT’s general memory recalls only broad details across sessions. Projects add something extra: every chat, file, and custom instruction stays bundled in one campaign-specific context, with tools like Deep Research and Voice Mode built in.

Prompt Starters

• “Summarise the wins in the uploaded campaign report.”
• “Give me three slogan ideas that fit our buyer personas.”
• “Create a carousel outline using data in the KPI sheet.”
• “Compare our draft email to competitor copy for urgency.”
• “Turn this voice note into two ad variants.”

Set up the Project once, customise the tools you use most, and watch your campaign come together faster.
