Scale Your B2B Content with Artificial Intelligence - CMI

Scale Your B2B Content with Artificial Intelligence - CMI | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Tools like Crayon and Pathmatics enable you to monitor the digital footprint of your competitors, giving you information to use when forming your content marketing strategy.

Marketing planning often involves analyzing content as a basis for making decisions about future content. One free AI tool anyone can use for this purpose is IBM Watson Analytics. You import any dataset – for example, a CSV file – and explore it.

You may even be using a curation tool – Curata or Scoop.it, for example – and not realize that you’re using AI.

One new tool – Phrasee – creates email subject lines that can result in more opens, clicks, and conversions than subject lines written by people. 

Tools that analyze text for grammar, sentiment, style, and tone of voice include Acrolinx, Grammarly, and AtomicReach.

Data-intensive content (based on financial info, analytics, product info, etc.) lends itself to automation such as the Automated Insights tool called Wordsmith.

In a tool like Clarifai, an algorithm assesses images ­– for example, items of apparel ­– and tells how likely each image is to be one type of thing or another.

Google has jumped in with its recent release of Google Analytics Solutions. If you have a list of questions you want answered every month, you can set up this tool to ask Google those questions (as shown below) instead of asking a data analyst.
