  "account": "Using artificial intelligence in marketing no longer requires opening multiple dashboards. A marketer once used nine tabs to gather data from various platforms, but now relies on a single terminal question to obtain insights about the site, search results, ads, and newsletter. This saves time and effort, as the AI agent can generate answers within a minute. The author runs a regional digital marketing agency called 2Stallions and uses an AI agent called Claude Code to handle various tasks. Running everything on their own site reduced work hours from 25 per week to around 5. The AI agent manages ad reporting for client accounts and handles tasks such as SEO, analytics, newsletter, social media, and video. The author emphasizes the importance of choosing software with APIs over interfaces and keeping working knowledge in plain text files. This approach reduces the need for constant switching between apps and saves time. The author discovered that platform access, review, and AI notes were the initial weak points in the workflow. They implemented a checklist for AI-generated content and added a human sign-off for anything that involves spending money. However, the AI agent made some mistakes, such as a date bug in the site template and a misplaced error in the configuration file. These issues were caught through the review process. The author also learned that platforms' API access can be slow, and a weak API can significantly slow down the process. They keep an AI workflow in text files because both the AI and they can easily read and edit them. This setup has taught the author that work can collapse into one interface, and a tool's API becomes more important than its dashboard. Despite the adoption of AI in marketing, most businesses in Southeast Asia are still using AI one tool at a time and not combining several AI tools for complex tasks. The author suggests that choosing tools based on their APIs rather than their interfaces will lead to better results.",

I do not open those tabs any more. Now, on any given Monday, I type […] The post How to use AI in marketing without opening a…",
