@Cicada how did last week go? and is the spring launch on track
Cicada · 9:03 AM
Site visits were up on the week, mostly from the webinar email. Paid search cost more per signup: one campaign lost its best keyword on Wednesday. Spring launch: 9 of 14 checklist items done; the landing page copy and the pricing FAQ are still open, both due Thursday.

The short answer

What is an AI marketing manager?

An AI marketing manager is an agent that runs the operating side of marketing: the campaign calendar, the weekly performance report, the briefs for writers and designers, and the checklist for each launch. Cicada's reads your connected analytics and ad accounts without changing them, keeps the plan in a shared sheet, and writes briefs as documents your team can open. You reach it in Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp or email, it remembers your channels, goals and rules, and anything that goes to another person waits for your OK.

What it does

What your AI marketing manager does.

01

Keeps the campaign calendar

One shared Google Sheet with every launch, email, post and event by week, with owner and status. It updates it from what the team says in Slack and flags what's slipping.

02

Writes the weekly report

Reads Google Analytics, your ad accounts and your email platform every Monday and writes what changed, why, and what to look at. Read-only: it never touches a campaign or a budget.

03

Briefs writers and designers

A one-page brief for every piece: goal, audience, key messages, format, deadline and links to what came before. Delivered as a document in your brand.

04

Runs launch checklists

Turns a launch date into a checklist in Asana, Notion or a sheet, with the owners you name, and tells you each morning what's due and what's late.

05

Watches competitors

Checks competitors' sites, pricing pages and announcements with its own browser on a schedule, and tells you when something changes.

06

Takes the meeting notes

Joins the marketing review on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams as a notetaker and posts the decisions and owners to the channel when it ends.

Who it's for

Who hires an AI marketing manager.

Founders

Marketing before your first marketer

A calendar, a weekly report and briefs for freelancers, without a full-time hire yet.

Heads of marketing

Monday's report already written

The numbers from every channel in one message before the team meeting, with what changed and why.

Solo marketers

A second pair of hands

The calendar, the briefs and the checklists, so the week goes into the work itself.

Agencies

One report per client

Each client's analytics read on schedule and written up in their own sheet, ready to send after your check.

Product marketers

Launches that don't drop a step

A checklist per launch, owners chased, the landing page brief and the sales one-pager drafted.

Ecommerce brands

Promotions on one calendar

Sales, emails and posts lined up by week, with Shopify and the email platform read for the recap.

Setup

Set up in three steps.

  1. Say what the job is

    Describe the role in a sentence when you sign up, or tell the agent in the chat. It writes its own brief, which you can read and change any time.

  2. Connect the apps it needs

    One click for most apps. Each one can be Full, Ask first or Read-only, for every agent in the workspace.

  3. Link your phone, or don't

    Scan a code and it's in your iMessage or WhatsApp. Or keep it in the app, Slack and email. Hand it the first job in the same message.

Control

Nothing goes out without your yes.

Nothing goes out without your yes

Anything that can't be undone, and any message to another person, waits for your OK. Approve with a 👍 in the chat, or set a role to full autonomy once you trust it.

Read-only is a real lock

Make any app read-only and the agent can look but never change a thing. It applies to every agent in the workspace, from their next run.

Every step on the record

Each run shows what it read, what it did and what it sent, step by step, in the Activity tab. Corrections you make stick.

What it won't do.

Won't pretend

If it couldn't confirm something, it leaves it out and says so. A number without a source doesn't go in a message.

Won't go around you

It never messages anyone on your behalf unless you asked, never spends money, and never makes a judgement call about money on its own.

Won't read what isn't shared

Teammates' agents work only through the apps the workspace shares. Your inbox and your personal apps stay under your own login.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Where do I talk to it?

Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, email or the web app. In a team channel it stays quiet until someone names it, then answers in the same thread.

Does it run or buy ads?

No. It reads your ad accounts for the report, read-only, and never creates a campaign, changes a budget or spends money. Changes to ads stay with a person.

Which numbers can it report on?

Whatever you connect: Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot, your email platform, Shopify. If a number isn't in a connected app, it says so instead of guessing.

Will it message my team or freelancers?

Only when you ask. A brief or a nudge to another person waits for your OK in the chat, and you can make any app read-only.

Can it make the assets too?

It writes the briefs and can make one-pagers, decks and images with its image generation. Design work in a design tool stays with your designer.

How does it learn how we work?

It keeps a memory of your goals, channels, people and rules that you can read and edit in the Brain tab. Corrections you give it in the chat stick.

Is it one agent or several?

Start with one. For a big job it can hand parts to specialists it coordinates, one on the report and one on the briefs, and you still get one answer back.

Can my team use it too?

Yes. Everyone in your workspace gets their own agent. Shared apps are connected once for the team; personal apps like your inbox stay under your own login.

What does it cost?

Every workspace starts with 300 free credits. You add a card at sign-up and nothing is charged until you run low; then it's $25 for 200 credits, with no subscription. A quick reply is about 5 credits and a typical run under 20; plans start at $99 a month.
