7 AI Tools I Actually Use to Scale My Content Creation (Part 1)

Let’s be honest: the AI landscape is overwhelming. There’s a new tool launching every week and most of them sound the same.

So instead of giving you a giant directory, I’m starting a series to share the AI tools I actually use in my own content systems. These are the ones I trust to produce high-quality, scalable output across video, copy, design, and social without burning me out.

1. Napkin AI: Turn Ideas into Beautiful Diagrams

If you’re creating content that involves frameworks, concepts, or explanations, Napkin AI is clutch.

You feed it your ideas or copy, and it turns that into clean, presentation-ready diagrams. Perfect for blog posts, landing pages, or decks. No need to fiddle with Canva or slide templates.

Use it when you want to simplify something complex, visually.

2. Creatify AI: Create Ads Without Expensive Production

Running paid ads? Creatify AI lets you generate different versions of your messaging and visuals without hiring UGC creators or editors.

It turns your product copy into AI-generated video ads with actors, voices, and multiple formats so you can validate hooks and angles quickly before scaling your spend.

Think of it as your fast-track to MVP ad testing.

3. Wondercraft AI: Launch a Studio-Level Podcast Without Recording

Want to start a podcast but don’t have time to record or edit? Wondercraft AI does the heavy lifting.

Just provide your script or idea, and it’ll turn it into a fully produced podcast episode with studio-quality voices, sound design, and editing all generated by AI.

It’s ideal for thought leaders, newsletters, or businesses that want to reach an audio audience without the production hassle.

4. Vocable AI: Turn Your Expertise Into Social Scripts

If you’re an expert or founder trying to build your presence online, Vocable AI turns your raw expertise into full social media campaigns complete with hooks, scripts, carousels, and video ideas across multiple channels.

It’s not just an AI writer. It’s a content system trained to think like a strategist and generate repeatable, high-impact content at scale.

5. Invideo AI — Create Faceless Educational Videos in Minutes

Want to grow on YouTube or Reels using faceless video content?

Invideo AI helps you create fully automated, faceless videos. You provide the script or topic, and it generates the video with stock footage, voiceover, and music.

Use this for tutorials, listicles, explainers, or even digital products. Great for creators and educators building content libraries without recording gear.

6. HeyGen: Clone Yourself for Video Without Ever Recording

If you’re like me, and you don’t always have time (or energy) to record content. That’s where HeyGen comes in. It lets you create a realistic AI clone of yourself that speaks your script, blinks, gestures, and looks like you’re on camera without ever hitting record.

Perfect for founders, educators, or marketers who want to scale their video presence without bottlenecks.

7. Postnitro: Generate Carousels for Instagram and LinkedIn

Carousels are still one of the best formats for engagement on Instagram and LinkedIn but they’re a pain to make.

Postnitro.ai streamlines the entire process. Just provide your talking points or raw content, and it will auto-generate well-designed carousels that are ready to post.

Ideal for thought leaders, agencies, or anyone looking to stand out on scroll-heavy platforms.

Each of these tools helps me save time, reduce friction, and stay consistent across platforms. Whether you’re trying to show up more, sell more, or scale your content team—there’s something in this list for you.
