I’m a firm believer in AI—anything that makes our jobs easier is a win in my book. Now, don’t get me wrong, I would never say that AI is going to replace workers. No way! But it can absolutely help us work smarter and perform better.
It can take care of the repetitive stuff, crunch through data in seconds, and give us insights that would take hours to find manually. But the real fun starts when we use AI to enhance our creativity, make our work easier, and make smarter, data-driven decisions.
At Social Champ, I always encourage my team to take full advantage of AI tools to make their jobs easier—we’re all about working smarter, not harder.
So, I thought I’d share some of my top picks for AI marketing tools that are transforming the way we work!
-
Chat GPT
Let me kick things off with ChatGPT—hands down one of my favorite tools. If you’re not familiar with it, let me give you the rundown: ChatGPT is like a super-smart digital assistant that can help you with pretty much anything—writing captions, brainstorming topics, and even coming up with names for your Mattermost channels (which, yes, we’ve totally done!).
And I won’t lie; I’ve even asked it for its thoughts on a design we were working on. And let me tell you, the feedback was… way more detailed than I was expecting!
What’s awesome about this tool is how versatile it is. Seriously, you can ask it anything, and it will give you a response that’s often so descriptive; it’s almost like it’s giving you more info than you actually need (but hey, better too much than too little, right?).
-
Grammarly
Next up, we’ve got Grammarly. It’s basically a lifesaver for most of our departments—community, customer support (because, let’s be honest, we definitely don’t want to send out messages with grammatical errors… yikes), SEO, and of course, content.
It keeps everything polished and even suggests ways to make our tone a bit more polite when needed.
Seriously, it’s like having a personal editor who’s always there, making sure we don’t accidentally sound like robots.

MeetGeek
MeetGeek is the tool that has revolutionized the way we conduct meetings.
It automatically records, transcribes, and summarizes our meetings.
That means everything is recorded now, so we can concentrate on the discussion rather than rushing to capture every thought or action.
MeetGeek has proved invaluable for Social Champ during remote team calls and brainstorming sessions.
It helps streamline collaboration and ensure no critical insights are lost by keeping everyone on the same page.
This tool is like having a personal assistant that records every moment of the meeting.
-
Pipio
Not going to lie, our design team is super talented, but because they’re so good, we end up giving them a lot of work.
And that’s where tools like Pipio come in handy. The best part? Anyone, even without any prior design experience, can jump in and use it.
At Social Champ, we’ve used Pipio for everything from creating social media videos to tutorial clips and product explainers.
It’s made content creation so much smoother and quicker, allowing us to produce high-quality videos without needing a full-fledged production team. It’s been a huge time-saver for us!

Social Champ
It wouldn’t be right if I made a list of the top AI tools and didn’t mention my own—Social Champ, of course!
As a big advocate for AI marketing, I’ve made sure Social Champ is packed with AI-powered features. A few of my favorites are the Champ AI Suite, Best Time to Post, and Sentiment Analysis.
So, what’s the Champ AI Suite all about? It’s got two awesome tools: the AI Assistant to help you create written content and the AI Imaginator to whip up visuals. If you’re managing social media on the fly, you can create eye-catching posts in seconds!
Then there’s our Sentiment Analysis tool. It’s super handy for figuring out the tone of your messages and how they might come across to your audience.
And last but not least, our AI-powered Best Time to Post feature. It helps you figure out when your audience is most active so you can reach them at the perfect moment.

Frase
When it comes to content marketing, Frase has quickly become one of our go-to tools.
It’s amazing for spotting content gaps, analyzing search trends, and creating SEO-optimized outlines. Thanks to Frase, we’ve been able to boost our organic reach by finding and using the most relevant keywords.
Personally, I love using Frase for brainstorming blog topics that really connect with our audience’s interests.
Our content team also uses it to structure articles that are not just search engine-friendly, but actually valuable for readers.

Opus Clip
Our toolkit has seriously benefited from Opus Clip, especially when it comes to repurposing longer content into bite-sized pieces.
This tool is great for breaking down tutorials, turning lengthy blogs into social media snippets, or even grabbing clips from webinars.
I remember the first time we used it for a webinar—we took a 30-minute session and turned it into five different social media posts!
But it’s not just the content team that loves it—our community team has gotten a lot of mileage out of it too. They’re always finding new ways to reuse content to keep our community engaged.
With Opus Clip, we’re able to extend the life of our content across multiple platforms, making sure our messages reach as many people as possible—without having to reinvent the wheel every time.
Wrapping Up – The Future of AI in Marketing
AI marketing tools help us work smarter, reach our audience more effectively, and stay ahead of the competition. It’s like having an extra boost to take our game to the next level.
So, if you’re an entrepreneur, SaaS founder, or marketer reading this, I definitely encourage you to explore these tools and see how they can elevate your strategies.
Here’s to making the most of these tools and to the exciting future where AI keeps unlocking new possibilities for marketing!
