A specialist can build a complex, multi-step AI workflow and then expose only key inputs to the team. This turns their expertise into a scalable, self-serve "app" for marketers, enabling on-demand, on-brand creative generation without direct designer involvement.
AI doesn't replace creative experts; it elevates their role. Their craft shifts from manually creating individual assets to designing and building robust, reusable AI systems that empower the entire organization to generate on-brand content.
With AI workflows generating thousands of creative variations in minutes, the primary job is no longer the manual act of creation. The critical skill becomes curation: building the right automated systems upfront and then strategically selecting winning assets from a massive pool of options.
Generative AI tools are a massive productivity lever for creative marketers, storytellers, and copywriters. By handling tasks like slide design or simple coding, AI removes dependencies on designers and developers, allowing creatives to execute their vision autonomously and rapidly, which can reinvigorate burnt-out talent.
Nick Pattison's firm creates generative tools for clients, enabling them to produce on-brand assets like geometric patterns themselves. This innovative handoff empowers clients to scale their brand system instantly and playfully, moving beyond static guidelines.
A CMO productized his unique messaging framework by prompting AI to act as a brand expert and create a simple web app. This "vibe coded" app allows founders to upload a PDF and get an instant critique based on his proprietary criteria, effectively scaling his expertise.
Instead of iterating on prompts for single assets, focus on building reusable systems. This approach ensures brand consistency, saves time, and empowers non-designers to create on-brand assets efficiently by turning complex workflows into simple interfaces.
Exceptional AI content comes not from mastering one tool, but from orchestrating a workflow of specialized models for research, image generation, voice synthesis, and video creation. AI agent platforms automate this complex process, yielding results far beyond what a single tool can achieve.
The primary value of AI app builders isn't just for MVPs, but for creating disposable, single-purpose internal tools. For example, automatically generating personalized client summary decks from intake forms, replacing the need for a full-time employee.
Most users get poor results from creative AI due to complex prompting. AI agent tools act as an intermediary layer, handling the expert-level prompting and workflow automation. This makes advanced, professional-quality results accessible to beginners without a steep learning curve.
Generic AI app generation is a commodity. To create valuable, production-ready apps, AI models need deep context. This "Brand OS" combines a company's design system (visual identity) and CMS content (brand voice). Providing this unique context is the key to generating applications that are instantly on-brand.
