The Promptory Newsletter (AI use cases)


Wednesday · March 25, 2026 · Issue #003

Every Wednesday I break down a real AI use case — a specific business problem, which tools solved it, and how you can replicate the approach.

Today: how a 2-person marketing team replaced $3,200/month in agency fees with AI.

🎯 The Problem

A 2-person marketing team at a B2B SaaS company was spending $3,200/month on a content agency for blog posts, social content, and ad creative. Output was slow — 2 posts per month and 3 ad variants per campaign. Revision cycles took weeks. And the content never quite sounded like them.

🤖 The AI Solution

✍️ Jasper AI — $49/mo

Replaced the agency for long-form blog content. Brand voice trained in week one. First post shipped in 2 days instead of 3 weeks. Now producing 8 posts per month.

📢 AdCreative.ai — $29/mo

Replaced paid ad creative production. Connected their brand assets, got 20 ad variants in 10 minutes. Was getting 3 per campaign from the agency — at 10x the price.

📱 Buffer AI — $18/mo

Social scheduling with AI caption generation. One person now handles all social channels in 30 minutes per week — down from 6 hours.

Tuesday · April 15, 2026 · Issue #017 Stop downloading tools.Start hiring agents. Most AI tools do one thing. You open them, tell them what to do, get an output, and close them. They are features, not employees. They require your attention every time you want a result.
