AI in Marketing (But Make It Real Life)

A Little Life Update: AI Is Low-Key Running My Workflow

Not in a scary way… in a “how did I do this without it?” kind of way.

If you’re creating content, running a store, or just trying to stay consistent online, AI has probably already crept into your routine. And honestly? I’m not mad at it.

It’s made marketing feel less overwhelming—and a lot more doable.

What This Actually Looks Like in My Day-to-Day

Nothing fancy. Just tools I already use… working a little smarter.

Writing & Brainstorming with ChatGPT

This is my go-to when my brain is tired but I still need to show up.

I use it to:

• Map out blog posts (like this one )

• Clean up product descriptions

• Come up with content ideas when I’m stuck

• Even break down numbers or performance when I don’t feel like overthinking it

It’s not about replacing your voice—it just helps you get started faster (which is honestly the hardest part).

Running My Store with Shopify (Sidekick = underrated 👀)

If you have a Shopify store, you’re already using AI… but Sidekick makes it feel more obvious.

Instead of digging through reports or Googling everything, you can just ask questions and get answers right there.

Things I love:

• Quick insights on what’s happening in your store

• Suggestions you didn’t even think to look for

• Help with content or ideas without leaving your dashboard

It really does feel like having a mini assistant in the background.

Emails That Basically Write Themselves with Omnisend

Email marketing used to feel like a whole task on its own.

Now? It’s a mix of automation and AI helping with the actual writing.

I use it for:

• Welcome emails

• “We miss you” moments

• Product recommendations

• And now… even help with subject lines and content

So instead of staring at a blank screen, you’re editing and refining—which is way easier.

Even My Inbox is Helping Me with Gmail

This one is so subtle you almost forget it’s AI.

• Auto-replies

• Sentence suggestions

• Little prompts that finish your thoughts

It’s small, but it saves time every single day.

Content Days Are Easier with Canva

If you create any kind of content, you already know how time-consuming visuals can be.

Canva’s AI features make it feel lighter:

• Magic Write for captions

• Background remover (a lifesaver)

• Quick resizing for different platforms

• Easy, clean graphics without overthinking it

It’s giving “done is better than perfect”—but still cute.

Let’s Talk About Generative AI (Because This Is The Moment)

This is the part of AI that’s really changing the game—especially for content creators.

Generative AI is what creates things for you, like:

• Captions

• Images

• Videos

• Blog posts

• Product descriptions

So instead of just analyzing data, it’s actually creating with you.

And this is where some of the most popular tools right now come in:

• Writing & ideas: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude

• Images & aesthetics: Midjourney, DALL·E

• Video content: Runway, Sora

• Everyday design: Canva

This is why you’re seeing:

• AI-generated Instagram captions

• Product mockups without full photoshoots

• Faster reels and short-form videos

• Entire content plans built in minutes

For anyone building a brand or just trying to stay consistent… this changes everything.

Why I’m Actually Here for This

Because life is busy.

And if something can help you:

• Save time

• Stay consistent

• Show up even when you don’t feel like it

• And make smarter decisions without overthinking

…I’m using it.

If You’re Just Getting Into AI

Keep it simple:

• Start with what you already use

• Try one feature at a time

• Let it support you, not take over

• Keep your voice in everything

Final Thoughts from My Little Corner of the Internet

AI isn’t replacing the human side of marketing. If anything, it’s giving us more space to be creative, more consistent, and a little less stressed about doing everything ourselves.

And honestly… we love that.
