Copy.ai is a new AI-powered copywriting tool that claims to be able to write better content than humans. While this might not be true it still can save you a lot of time. In 8 AI tools, you need to know I also mentioned copy.ai. Now let's take a closer look at it!

What is copy.ai?

copy.ai is a new tool that aims to make your content creation process more efficient. Using artificial intelligence (AI), it can analyze your existing blog posts and create new ones with similar styles and formats. While this may sound like a dream come true for bloggers who are short on time or have writer's block, there are some things you should know before deciding whether or not it's worth investing in copy.ai.

Tools of copy.ai

Copy.ai comes with a lot of templates to use. It's not only for bloggers. You can use it for almost anything. Let's take a look at all the blog templates:

  • Blog Post Wizard

  • Write Blog Intro

  • Write Blog Outline

  • Write Blog Section

Generating a Blog outline is already pretty good right? At least that's how I start my blog posts most of the time. Now, copy.ai can do a lot more. Let's also take a look at the Social Media Content templates:

  • Discount Or Special Promotion

  • Social Media Bio

  • Share Tips And Knowledge

  • Seasonal / Holiday

  • Showcase A Customer Or Testimonial

  • Event Recap

  • Highlight Product Or Service Benefit

  • Build Anticipation / Launch New Product

  • Share A Secret

  • Contest Or Giveaway Promotion

  • Event Promotion

Now that are many templates, right? How well are these tools working? Well, I guess you can write another whole blog post about that.

You also have some video tools. I consider a lot of them to be for social media as well:

What else? Let's take a quick look at all the categories:

  • Blog

  • Social Media Content

  • Email

  • Fun

  • Website Copy

  • Writing Tool

  • General Business

  • Case Study

  • Video

How does it work?

Copy.ai is a tool that allows you to create blog posts and more in minutes. You don't believe me? Let's try out some of the tools and see them in action!

Blog Post Wizard

To see a difference we pick the 7 best productivity tools post and try to create something similar with the blog wizard. In the first step you have to put in your blog title and some keywords:

And within seconds we have our blog outline. We don't have tools but we can use them to make a blog post. 7 Outlines can be used and we only have to search for a tool for it. Now let's see if copy.ai can also find fitting tools for it!

We have generated some talking points. These points are pretty good and can be a very good help when it comes to writing a blog post. What we don't have are actual tools. Maybe in the future, the AI will recommend you the Forest App to avoid smartphone distractions. Or the Momentum Extension to create to-do lists in your browser.

Let's generate some content to see how good the AI is.

That looks pretty damn good! I can work with that and maybe you can even use the blog post as it is. What's missing here are some actual tools. So the AI can not do everything for you but it can be a huge help. For some blog posts, it might do all the heavy lifting for you and you just have to adjust a few things.

Job Description

Creating a job description can also be very hard. Luckily you don't have to do this too often. Now let's see what copy.ai can do for us.

That's the information I put in and I got a couple of pretty good results. Have look at one of them:

We're looking for a Shopware Developer to join our team!

You'll be working on developing Shopware 6 applications. You should have experience with Shopware 6 development and a strong understanding of SCSS, twig, Vue.js, and PHP. You should also have a passion for helping small businesses grow by allowing them to better manage their online presence.

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

E-Mail Testimonial

A lot of people will tell you E-Mail Marketing is dead but it is not! So for E-Mail-Marketers let's see if it can help you to write some copy. I wanna create a Testimonial E-Mail. That's our input:

The results could be better, but if you adjust them a little bit I'm sure you are fine with them. Have a look at one of the results:

John Doe, a blogger who uses copy.ai to write his blog posts, is a success story!

John has been using copy.ai to write his blog posts since [date], and he says it's made him twice as productive. He says that he has been able to grow an audience because of the consistency of his posts, which have helped him win over new followers.

We love hearing about people like John who are using our tools for their own success! If you'd like to share your own story, please email us at [email] with a link to your blog or website.

YouTube Video Description

Let's have a look at one more. Writing video descriptions for your videos on YouTube is very time-consuming. It's also not a lot of fun so let's see what copy.ai can do for use here.

Now that's a hard one. The results are not that good but you may still work with them.

  1. The Forest App

The Forest app is a productivity tool that allows you to focus on what matters most, without distractions. It's a browser extension that blocks web ads, tracking scripts and social media widgets so you can get your work done without getting sidetracked.

  1. Momentum Browser Extension

The Momentum Browser Extension helps you focus on the important things in life by blocking distracting websites, social media widgets and more while blocking out background noises like white noise or music while working at home or in an office environment where you might be working outside of your comfort zone.

  1. Google Docs

Google Docs is a free service that lets you create documents, spreadsheets and presentations online; edit them and collaborate with other people all from one place—your browser! It also works on mobile devices so you can work wherever you are regardless of whether or not there's an internet connection available at that moment in time (mobile apps are also available for some platforms). This means no more having to print out documents before leaving home which saves time

Is it worth the money?

That's the right question. Let's have a look at the pricing first:

Now there is a free plan is it worth it? - Yes, of course, it's free!
You are limited to 2,000 words per month which will be generated pretty quickly. Now unlimited words are $49 per month which is a lot. Some of you will probably save a ton of time so it could be worth it.

I'm also pretty sure for some people it's not that big of a help. So try it for free and see what it can do for you. If you like it go for it, and if not just don't use it.

Discount - 40% off

You get copy.ai for 7 days for free and I highly recommend you test everything in the first days. If you decide to upgrade your plan in the first 3 days you get 40% off and only pay $29 per month.

Writing blog posts may never be the same

Copy.ai can help you write blog posts and it's pretty cool. You can save a lot of time and it can do a lot of work for you.

The idea behind copy is simple—you give copy some basic details about what you want to write about (e.g., "I'm going to talk about how I did this"), and then it generates text based on those keywords (e.g., "I'm going to talk about how I did this"). But there are some limitations: while they're working on getting better at generating original content using their machine learning system until then they'll still rely heavily on what people are saying already out there in cyberspace via social media platforms like Twitter...

Conclusion

With all of this in mind, it's clear that copy.ai is a tool worth trying out. If you're looking for a way to save time and stay on top of your content creation efforts, then this might be exactly what you need.

2,000 generated words are enough for you? Then it's even free! At the moment copy.ai can do a lot of work for you but it will not do everything for you.

You still have to put in work, rewrite and adjust a few things. Maybe some results are not good and you can not use them in any way. What I'm sure about is that it can save you a lot of time and help you to outline your blog posts. Also for some new ideas it can be great!
