AI marketing should focus on individual agency, not just productivity
nickbaumann_ · x · 2026-08-24
The author argues that framing AI solely around "productivity" is problematic, as it feels like an employer demand rather than a user benefit. Immediate value for individuals lies in feeling empowered, capable, and less overwhelmed by menial tasks. Leaders should frame AI as a tool that grants people more agency over their lives and work, rather than just a way for companies to extract more output.
