My AI Marketing Stack for 2026 (and What I Cut)

The AI tools that actually earn their seat in a performance-marketing workflow.

Every week there is a new "AI marketing tool." Almost none survive contact with a real ad account. Here is what stayed in 2026.

Creative ideation, not generation

Use AI to brainstorm 20 hooks; a human builds the three with legs.

Copy at scale with a brand guardrail

One prompt encodes brand voice, offer, and the do-not-say list.

Analysis is where the ROI is

Feed raw exports to a model and ask which message theme is winning.

What I cut

Thin wrappers, asset generators I would never run, and dashboards that do not tell me what to do.
