Think AI is Just for Security? Think Again

Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken our industry to a whole new level, becoming a force multiplier for video monitoring by filtering out false alarms. But it isn’t just a force in the security industry — AI is making its way into multiple industries by being able to automate manual tasks, and that includes marketing. Here is an inside look at 10 AI marketing tools that can help grow your security company.

 

Adobe Spark

You can remove the Adobe Spark branding on the free version by paying approximately $10 per month. Learn more at https://spark.adobe.com.

“AI is making its way into multiple industries and applications by being able to automate manual tasks, and yes, that includes marketing.”

Curata

Exceed.ai

Node

This AI tool helps marketers discover new leads and guides them through the conversion process. The tool uses its database to find connections between entities on the web, such as products, companies and people. It then uses its algorithm to find people who are most likely to buy a product or interact with a specific company. Learn more at https://hello.node.io.

 

Otter.ai

Do you find it easier to share a story verbally versus writing content from scratch? Take a look at Otter.ai, an AI-based service that not only records audio, but also transcribes voices with great accuracy. The transcription can easily be downloaded to a text file as well as shared with others. Learn more at https://otter.ai.

 

AI in marketing isn’t quite at the point of outperforming human creativity, but it is capable of automating many tasks from content research to competitive intelligence and beyond.
