To stay competitive, digital products must offer more than just static content. Porterfield evolved her course to include personalized feedback from human coaches on key marketing assets and a custom AI assistant ('Porter') trained on her proprietary knowledge to provide scalable, 24/7 support.
Instead of being intimidated by unfamiliar marketing tactics like creating animated GIFs, use AI platforms as on-demand tutors.

Instead of being intimidated by technical tasks like creating animated GIFs, marketers can use AI platforms as an on-demand guide. Simply ask the AI to provide step-by-step instructions for a specific tool (e.g., MailChimp, Klaviyo) to overcome knowledge gaps without feeling inadequate or needing to ask colleagues.

An AI education system deployed to millions of students will continuously analyze patterns in their learning. Insights from a student in one country will instantly update the teaching algorithm for another, creating a massively scalable, personalized, and ever-improving educational model.
Generic AI tools provide generic results. To make an AI agent truly useful, actively customize it by feeding it your personal information, customer data, and writing style. This training transforms it from a simple tool into a powerful, personalized assistant that understands your specific context and needs.
After receiving feedback that his writing was too long, a PM built a custom GPT to make messages more concise.
