How Performics-Integrated Generative AI Application Can Drive Productivity

We at Performics identified where we could deploy Generative AI in the performance content marketing space. Long form content generation was the obvious choice from an efficiency, quick turnaround time and scaling up POV. From a bucket of tools available to us today, we shortlisted Jasper AI and GPT-4 from the likes of copy.ai, Rytr and Writesonic keeping in mind parameters like long format, large database, translation, grammar check and SEO tool integration. We identified 3 main parameters to smoothen AI tool integration in our system and ran a pilot to test how AI tools could help content generation and marketing overall.

  1. Customization: Aligning with our client deliverables and projections, ideation and strategy is at the forefront of our plan. Along with setting the prerequisites, performance-based insights, we customize our plan and make it unique before using an AI tool.
  2. Prompt Engineering: We have built an industry-specific prompt generating system which helps us generate the ideal prompt, keeping the unique content requirements in place.
  3. Quality Check: AI generated content does not always provide the most accurate or desired result and requires a level of human intervention where we review and add input to perform on search. We also run an AI detection test to make sure the content generated using a tool is not 100% AI dependent. We at Performics only create 100% original content and although we tested AI tools to generate content, we have dedicated resources to filter the content and shape it in a way which makes it original and matches industry standards.

Possible Benefits and Outcome of using AI tools at Performics

70% time saved and 3x daily output efficiency
  1. Content scaling and productivity: Fewer rewrites and less editing gives time back to our editors and helps them be more productive and strategic. If we eliminate the time taken by a content writer to draft a 1200-word article (takes 3-4 hours with research, editing, review), the process of content generation can be optimised, and we can focus on content performance. Time saved allows us to take on additional requirements and we can show better output from a qualitative and quantitative POV.
  2. Efficiency: By using AI content marketing tools to automate processes during our pilot testing, we realized we could potentially increase efficiency by outsourcing fewer tasks and projects and optimize activities within the team. Overall, AI tools have significantly transformed performance content marketing by automating processes, enhancing personalization, optimizing content strategies. Our writers were able to deliver 3x more on the pilot project once we deployed AI tools.
  3. Output analysis: AI tools have been instrumental in analyzing content performance, providing valuable insights into user behavior, engagement metrics, and conversion patterns. We can leverage AI-powered analytics platforms to make data-driven decisions, optimize content strategies, and identify areas for improvement.
