Automating Content Strategy: How Ai KIA Uses AI to Plan and Publish
Rethinking Content Strategy With AI
Content is the lifeblood of any digital brand. For Ai KIA, we set out to automate as much of the process as possible?using AI not just to generate content, but to plan, schedule, and optimize it across platforms.
Building the Content Engine
We connected Airtable, GPT-4, and Zapier to create a living content calendar. Here?s how it works:
- Ideation: GPT-4 generates weekly themes and post ideas based on trending topics and SEO data.
- Planning: Airtable organizes ideas, deadlines, and distribution channels.
- Automation: Zapier triggers content drafts, assigns tasks, and schedules posts automatically.
Real-World Example: A Week in the Life
On Monday, GPT-4 suggests topics. By Tuesday, AI drafts outlines and headlines. By Wednesday, the system schedules posts for LinkedIn, Twitter, and Medium?no human bottlenecks.
The Trade-Offs
- Pros: Lightning-fast planning, reduced manual work, more time for creative oversight.
- Cons: Occasional off-brand suggestions, need for human review, risk of content sameness.
Lessons Learned
AI excels at structure and scale, but human editors are vital for nuance and voice. The future? A hybrid workflow where AI handles the grunt work, and humans bring the spark.
