The businesses winning in 2026 are producing more content than ever — with smaller teams than ever.

Something interesting is happening. While big agencies are slimming down and media companies are laying off creative staff, small and mid-size businesses are producing more video, more training content, more marketing creative, and more brand storytelling than at any point in history.

They're doing it with AI. This week we're covering the tools making it possible — and three new additions to The Promptory vault that change what a small content team can do. Here's what happened in AI last week:
⚡ This Week in AI
›

AI video generation hits mainstream — and small business is the biggest beneficiary

Video content now drives more organic reach than any other format across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. The businesses that are winning the attention game are the ones that figured out AI-assisted video production — not by replacing creativity, but by removing the production bottleneck that used to make video too expensive and slow to produce consistently.
›

Corporate training is being rebuilt from scratch with AI — and employees actually prefer it

New workforce data shows that AI-powered on-demand training programs achieve 40% higher completion rates than traditional instructor-led formats. The shift from scheduled training sessions to self-paced, AI-personalized learning is accelerating — and the tools to build it are now accessible to companies of any size.

The unlimited creative subscription model is quietly replacing agencies for SMBs

Flat-rate, unlimited creative services — designers, video editors, copywriters working on your projects daily — are pulling clients away from traditional agencies at a rapid pace. Faster turnaround, consistent output, no per-project invoices. For small businesses that need a steady creative output but can't justify a full agency retainer, the model is proving hard to argue with.

✦ New to the Vault This Week

Three new partners just joined — and they're the ones making this week's theme possible.

Content strategy audit — run this in Claude or ChatGPT:

"I run a [type of business]. We currently produce [describe your content output — videos, blog posts, social, training, etc.] using [current tools or process]. Our biggest content bottleneck is [describe it]. What's the single AI tool or workflow change that would have the biggest impact on our output in the next 30 days?"

You'll get a specific, prioritized recommendation. Then bring it to Jordan to find the right tool.
