The AI Tools Worth Sticking With

How To Keep Your Stack Focused & Useful

Itā€™s easy to get distracted by the headlines. New models, new scores, new breakthroughs. But for most teams, the tools that make the biggest difference arenā€™t the ones topping industry benchmarks. Theyā€™re the ones that quietly plug into your existing workflows and justā€¦work.

In this phase of AI adoption, the smartest move isnā€™t chasing whateverā€™s newest. Itā€™s getting clear on what problems you actually need to solve, and finding tools that fit cleanly into how your team already operates. 

Whether itā€™s speeding up content production, refining customer segmentation, or streamlining internal onboarding, the goal isnā€™t to be on the cutting edge. Itā€™s to get real, repeatable value.

Itā€™s always good to be tapped into new AI advancements. But the tool thatā€™s going to work best for you in the long run might already be out there - and you could be using it for the next five years, simply because it's convenient. 

Sure, something flashier might come along that solves the same problem in a more advanced way. But is it going to confuse your team? Is the idea nice, but the implementation complex? Sometimes sticking to what you know works isnā€™t just the safe option - itā€™s the smartest.

As marketers, itā€™s easy to be dazzled by the top-line capabilities of a model. But we should be looking deeper at integration, at feedback loops, at how AI actually fits into our day-to-day.

 A half-baked chatbot that sounds impressive but frustrates your users doesnā€™t help anyone. A smaller tool that quietly handles onboarding questions, gets new hires up to speed, and saves your team time every week? Thatā€™s impact.

Pick tools that serve your goals, not tools that demand you reshape your workflows just to use them. The best AI isnā€™t necessarily the most advanced, itā€™s the one your team will actually use, refine, and benefit from over time.

Benchmarks might look good on paper, but value lives in execution. Thatā€™s where the real AI advantage is being built.

KILLER MARKETING PROMPT

Use This Prompt to Turn Users into Ambassadors

If you're running marketing, growth, or a product-led brand, you know the challenge - every new customer takes time, budget, and creative energy to acquire. But what if every new user helped bring in the next?

Thatā€™s the magic of a growth loop. Itā€™s not a campaign. Itā€™s a self-sustaining system, where one action leads to another, and your growth starts to build on itself.

This weekā€™s prompt gives you a framework to generate 10ā€“15 high-leverage, low-friction growth loop ideas tailored to your business, audience, and channels. Whether youā€™re looking to drive referrals, amplify UGC, or turn engagement into acquisition, this oneā€™s built to unlock compounding momentum.

Prompt:

You are a growth strategist focused on building self-reinforcing marketing loops. Your goal is to help me brainstorm a wide range of repeatable growth loop ideas that drive compounding results over time.

Based on the info below, generate 10ā€“15 distinct growth loop concepts that are practical, scalable, and aligned with how my users behave and share:

Business/Product Overview: [insert description]

Target Audience: [insert core audience details]

Main Goal: [e.g. signups, referrals, UGC, email list growth]

Core Channels: [e.g. TikTok, LinkedIn, newsletter, product invites]

For each growth loop, include:

Trigger: What kicks the loop off

User Action: What the user does

Value Exchange: What the user gets (and/or what others get)

Growth Effect: How this action brings in more users, data, or content

Kickoff Idea: One tactical way to start this loop

All loops should be realistic, low-friction, and designed to scale over timeā€”not one-off campaigns or gimmicks. Prioritize loops that build momentum organically and align with real user behaviour.
