AI Meets Copy: Productivity Hacks That Still Feel Human

In this episode of Cracking Copy, Ella and Minnie explore how generative AI can streamline your writing workflow—without losing the human touch. From brainstorming ideas and building content outlines to refining drafts and automating repetitive tasks, we look at where AI can genuinely boost productivity for copywriters, marketers, and business owners alike.

We also get into practical examples and tools—like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Google Gemini—and how they can help you write faster and smarter. But while these tools are great for generating content quickly, they still need a skilled human to shape, edit, and add the creative flair that makes copy resonate.

This episode is packed with real-world tips on how to work with AI, not against it—so you can get more done, keep your voice intact, and stay competitive in a fast-evolving content world.
