What It Is
You use AI tools like Claude, paired with a research tool, to write LinkedIn posts, email newsletters, and ad copy on behalf of founders and creators who know they should be publishing content but don't have time to write it themselves.
The Pitch
The AI does the heavy lifting, drafting research and a first pass at the writing, while you focus on making it sound like the actual client, not a generic AI voice. Tilbury recommends picking one niche so clients see you as a specialist worth paying more for. Gadzhi covers the same idea independently and rates it a solid, if competitive, option.
Who It’s Best For
Someone who already writes reasonably well and is comfortable using AI to speed up research and a first draft, without expecting the AI to replace their own judgment and editing.
The Truth (as we see it)
Tilbury is fairly upfront that AI only gets you about 75% of the way there, the research and a rough draft. The remaining 25%, taste, editing, knowing what the client would actually say, is a real editorial skill this doesn't remove. Gadzhi's independent take echoes the same caution: results can go well or badly depending on that missing piece.
