A practical framework for choosing AI tools for research, writing, images, video and repurposing.

Map the content pipeline

  1. Research and idea capture
  2. Brief and outline
  3. Drafting or scripting
  4. Visual production
  5. Editing and fact-checking
  6. Publishing
  7. Repurposing and distribution

You do not need an AI tool at every stage. A general assistant can often cover ideation, outlining and first drafts. Specialized image or video tools become useful when those formats are central to the business.
