AI is transforming marketing

This hub collects everything I have written about using AI for developer marketing. From specific prompts you can copy today to strategic frameworks for building an AI-integrated workflow.

Frequently asked questions

What AI tools are most useful for developer marketing?

Claude excels at complex writing and analysis tasks. ChatGPT is great for structured output and organization. Perplexity is best for research with citations. For coding, GitHub Copilot and Cursor help with technical content. MCP servers enable integration with tools like Notion, Linear, and databases for seamless workflows.

How can AI help with content creation for developers?

AI can help brainstorm topics, create outlines, draft initial content, improve technical accuracy, generate code examples, optimize for SEO and AEO, repurpose content across formats, and translate content for different audiences. The key is using AI as an assistant while maintaining your authentic voice and expertise.

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO is optimizing content to be cited by AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity when answering user questions. It involves using clear structure, FAQ sections with schema markup, authoritative content, and explicit entity naming. AEO is becoming as important as traditional SEO as more users get answers from AI assistants.

How do you maintain authenticity when using AI for marketing?

Use your existing expertise and brand philosophy as constraints for AI output. Review and edit all AI-generated content. Focus on unique insights and experiences that AI cannot replicate. Use AI for efficiency on routine tasks while keeping strategic thinking and relationship building human-driven.

What are the best AI prompts for marketing tasks?

Effective prompts include context about your product, target audience, and desired tone. Specify format, length, and any constraints. For developer content, include technical requirements. Chain prompts for complex tasks: research first, then outline, then draft. Always iterate and refine output rather than using raw AI text.
