Can you build me a marketing AI agent?

A marketing AI agent is a custom-built workflow where an AI model (such as Claude) researches, analyses or produces work in several steps, using your data and tools, with a human approving the output. Unlike a chatbot, it completes a whole job, such as a competitor report, a content audit or a weekly performance summary.

You might be seeing

  • Your team uses ChatGPT, but only for drafting posts
  • Research tasks that take days for an analyst
  • Great ideas for AI, but nobody to build them properly
  • Worries about accuracy, brand risk and data privacy

What's usually happening

Teams bolt AI onto old processes instead of redesigning the process around AI. The value isn't in faster writing. It's in multi-step work that used to need a person for hours.

How we do it

  1. Pick a high-value, repeatable job (for example, competitive research or reporting)
  2. Design the agent: its stages, data sources, tools, guardrails and approval points
  3. Build and test it on your real data
  4. Deploy it where your team works (web app, Slack, Teams or n8n)
  5. Monitor quality and cost, then iterate

Example agents

Competitive research agent → a full CI report in minutes · Content audit agent → site-wide scoring and fixes · Newsletter agent → curated, on-brand drafts · Reporting agent → weekly insight summaries · Sales intel agent → account briefs before every call

Proof: I designed and shipped a multi-stage AI research product built on years of doing competitive research by hand. The expertise defines the stages; the AI runs them faster. See it live →

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI marketing agent?

An AI marketing agent is a multi-step workflow in which an AI model researches, analyses or produces marketing work using your data and tools, with defined stages and a human approval step. It completes a full job rather than answering a single prompt.

Is it safe to use AI agents with company data?

Yes, when they are built on business-grade AI services that do not train on your data, given least-privilege access, run with human review of outputs, and documented for your security team.

Which AI models do you use to build marketing agents?

Primarily Claude (Anthropic). Others when they fit better.

Who owns the AI agent after it is built?

You do: code, prompts and accounts.

Can people outside our company use the AI agent?

Yes. Agents can be published as web tools that need no AI account.
