HubSpot's Content Assistant: The Ultimate AI tool for content creation

"The best generative AI tool is the one you have with you." (Steve Jobs, probably).

Introduction

[Quick note: HubSpot's Content Assistant is in Public Beta. Request early access at this link]

Here at Content Chemistry, we're obsessed with learning about AI and how that can change the way we create content. 

Content is a powerful way for businesses to connect with their target audience, grow their online footprint and increase their share of voice.

There is a common misconception that AI will replace content marketers like us. We tend to think differently — that AI is a tool to augment and improve our content creation process.

Google seems to agree and recognises high-quality content, regardless of whether it was created by a human or generated by AI.

In this article (with the help of Content Assistant of course), we'll cover the key features of this tool, how you can use Content Assistant to optimise content, and prompts you can use with the tool. 

We hope that you not only get the power of this tool, but ultimately see how you can start using Content Assistant in your own content creation workflow. 

Ready? Let's go.
