"With AI writing tools, creatives can leverage pre-designed email templates tailored to different stages of the client's journey," explained SCORE mentor Chloe Clark. "From welcome emails that set the tone for collaboration to daily or weekly project updates that keep clients informed about progress, these emails ensure that communication remains seamless and proactive." Check AI's workIt's important to remember that AI can make mistakes, so you'll need to review the final product for errors before moving forward. SCORE mentor Kathryn Bardins recommends thinking of AI as just one aspect of your overall strategy: "This is another new tool in your marketing toolbox and should be considered as only a tool – not the entirety of your efforts."
