In partnership with

The past 24 hours have delivered what might be the clearest signal yet that we've entered a new phase of AI marketing: the shift from "AI helps you create" to "AI executes for you."

I'm genuinely excited about what I'm about to share because it represents something I've been watching develop all year—and now it's here. We're no longer talking about AI that drafts content for you to polish. We're talking about AI that delivers production-ready campaigns, presentations, and assets in minutes instead of weeks.

📍 Quick Preview:

• Helium AI's game-changing Mantis & Prism launch (this is the big one)

• Why 85% of companies still aren't seeing AI ROI—and what to do about it

• A multi-model comparison tool that solves a real pain point

• The sobering truth about agentic AI from someone running 20+ agents in production

Let's dive in.

📈 Today's Top AI Marketing Story

Helium AI Launches Mantis & Prism: The Execution-First Future Is Here

This is the release that caught my attention most this weekend. Helium AI, founded by Aniket Tapre, just dropped two enterprise tools that fundamentally change what "AI marketing assistance" means.

Mantis transforms a brief topic or input into fully-designed, presentation-ready slide decks. Not templates. Not drafts. Polished presentations ready to present.

Prism generates end-to-end multi-channel marketing campaigns—strategy, messaging, visuals, and ready-to-deploy assets—from a single system.

Here's why this matters: The traditional workflow of research → writing → design → revision → deployment just got compressed into minutes. Teams aren't working with AI-generated drafts anymore; they're deploying production-ready campaigns.

🎯 KEY TAKEAWAY

This reflects 2025's dominant theme: removing execution friction rather than optimizing ideation. The question is no longer "Can AI help me brainstorm?" It's "Can AI execute while I focus on strategy?"

⚡ QUICK TIP

If you're still using AI primarily for first drafts that require heavy editing, you're operating on a 2024 playbook. Look for tools that deliver deployment-ready outputs—it's where the real time savings live.

🚀 AI Marketing Quick Hits

ChatHawk Launches Multi-Model Comparison Tool Finally, a solution to the "which AI model should I use?" problem. ChatHawk lets you interact with all flagship AI models in a single interface, making side-by-side comparison effortless. Early users are calling it "amazing for comparing top AI models." If you've been frustrated by switching between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others to find the best output, this addresses that pain point directly.

BeatViz 2.2 Brings 20x Speed Improvement The AI video tool now includes AI-generated video prompts (automates the prompt creation itself), a Music Analyzer for understanding rhythm/mood/structure, and first-frame generation for visual consistency. The 20x speed improvement from the previous version is the headline here.

Remio 2.0 Hits Windows This personal ChatGPT platform now offers unlimited transcription with local-first privacy. Real-time conversation context preservation means your AI assistant actually remembers what you discussed. Worth exploring if privacy is a priority for your workflow.

TheBar Platform Gets Document & Design Mastery Now handles reports, business plans, cards, flyers, posters, and presentations. The interesting feature: upload a design image and it builds a live, editable version. Design replication without design skills.

The ROI Reality Check Here's the number that should inform your 2025 AI strategy: according to Forrester, only 15% of companies are seeing profit margin improvements from AI. BCG puts the "widespread value" number at just 5%. The lesson? Focus on high-impact, low-lift use cases first. Email subject line testing beats end-to-end campaign autonomy as a starting point.

Helium AI's Prism: End-to-End Campaign Generation

I want to go deeper on Prism because it represents where I see AI marketing tools heading throughout 2026.

What It Does: Prism generates complete multi-channel marketing campaigns from a single input. We're talking strategy, messaging, visuals, and ready-to-use assets—all produced in minutes instead of weeks.

What You Can Do With It:

• Launch product campaigns without a creative team backlog

• Generate consistent brand assets across channels simultaneously

• Test multiple campaign concepts rapidly before committing budget

• Scale content production for seasonal pushes without proportional team scaling

Why It's Noteworthy: This addresses the fragmentation problem. Most marketing teams use separate tools for strategy, copy, design, and deployment. Prism consolidates that workflow. The implication for agencies is significant: client deliverables that took weeks could potentially compress to days.

The Bigger Picture: Helium AI's launch signals enterprise AI is shifting from "AI assists creators" to "AI executes campaigns." This requires marketers to think about workflow restructuring—where human oversight adds value versus where AI execution is sufficient.

💡 Pro Tip of the Day

The Guardrails-First Approach to Agentic AI

Here's a reality check from SaaStr, who deployed 20+ AI agents in production since May. They achieved the output of 12+ humans with just 2.5 people. Impressive, right?

But in one week alone, they experienced four critical incidents:

1. A rogue A/B tester gave away free tickets

2. A time-confused agent promoted an expired event

3. A vendor hot fix broke the entire system

4. An agent wouldn't initialize under load

Their response? They doubled down on agents—but with enhanced monitoring, validation, redundancy, and QA checkpoints for customer-facing outputs.

Implementation Steps:

1. Start with internal-facing agents before customer-facing ones

2. Build monitoring dashboards that flag unusual agent behavior

3. Create kill switches for immediate agent shutdown

4. Establish validation layers between agent decisions and execution

5. Document failure modes and response protocols

Success Metric: Track incidents per agent per week. Aim for <1 incident per agent monthly before scaling to customer-facing applications.

📊 What's Coming in 2026: Trends to Watch

Based on this week's developments, here's what I'm tracking:

1. Execution-First Tools Will Dominate Helium AI's launch is the signal. Tools that generate drafts will lose ground to tools that deliver deployment-ready outputs. Expect consolidation as single-function tools get absorbed into execution platforms.

2. Personalization Becomes Predictive The data is striking: 70% of consumers expect AI-personalized interactions. 66% expect brands to recognize their unique needs. But here's the shift—it's moving from reactive personalization to predictive. AI will anticipate needs before customers express them.

3. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Replaces Traditional SEO With Gemini Deep Research and similar tools reshaping discovery, content must be designed for AI citation and summarization, not just ranking. Authority signals and structured content become critical.

4. Compliance Becomes Competitive Advantage New York's law requiring "conspicuous" disclosure of AI-generated people in ads signals broader regulation coming. Brands with governance frameworks in place will move faster while competitors scramble.

🎯 Your Action Items for This Week

✅ Audit your current AI workflow - Are you still in "draft and edit" mode, or have you identified tools that deliver deployment-ready outputs?

✅ Evaluate execution bottlenecks - Where does your team spend the most time between idea and deployment? That's where execution-first AI delivers the biggest wins.

✅ Test one new tool - ChatHawk for model comparison or Helium AI for execution—pick one and spend 30 minutes exploring.

✅ Review your audience targeting process - If campaign creation is getting faster, is audience research keeping pace?

That's the rundown for today. The AI marketing landscape is moving fast, but the opportunity is clear: tools that execute (not just assist) are where the real efficiency gains live in 2025.
