Ask HN: Why Marketing Software Hasn't Had Its 'Cursor Moment' Yet

1•richbelt•6mo ago
After building AI marketing tools for 2 years, I've become convinced most AI applications are, in the words of Pete Koomen, "horseless carriages" - they bolt AI onto existing interfaces instead of building AI-native experiences.

The marketing problem: Marketers context-switch between 5-8 tools for a single campaign. Hootsuite for scheduling, Canva for design, ChatGPT for copy, Analytics for insights. The cognitive overhead of switching kills productivity and creative flow.

Traditional marketing software forces you to learn multiple interfaces. We're experimenting with a different approach: conversation that dynamically generates interfaces. Instead of navigating to the "social media scheduler," you say "build me a X thread on the latest AI trends" and the appropriate UI appears displaying a preview of the post and publishing capabilities. Similar idea across other marketing use cases.

Technical approach: 1/ Intent recognition to parse conversational requests, 2/ Dynamic component assembly based on task requirements. 3/ Persistent state management across conversation threads. 4/ Integration orchestration for multi-platform actions

The hypothesis: In the AI era, the interface should adapt to the user's intent, not force users to adapt to static interfaces.

Apps like Cursor and Lovable work so well because they were built with AI at the heart of it and leaned into their conversational and generative capabilities. We’re envisioning a similar approach for marketing.

If you're active online posting across social media sites like Twitter, Reddit, etc. and are interested in testing a novel approach to marketing software to help us validate this concept, I'd love to talk to you.

"...they bolt AI onto existing interfaces instead of building AI-native experiences." Sounds like Cloud Computing.
richbelt•6mo ago
As someone very familiar with the cloud computing space an inner workings, I can confirm that cloud providers are bolting AI onto everything to increase spend from customers. The problem is they are approaching it as a hammer and just pounding on anything that looks like a nail and that's turning customers off.
JojoFatsani•6mo ago
I don’t think so. Cloud Computing’s valuederives from the API control over abstracted physical resources, which was really primitive and uncommon in the pre cloud days. Too big of a leap for whatever point you’re trying to make here.
richbelt•6mo ago
I think we're misunderstanding each other. I'm not diminishing how transformative cloud computing is/was. I'm just stating how they are approaching AI today and trying to shove it down everyone's throats.

My point is that marketing is actually one of the domains where AI naturally fits, it's conversational and creative by nature. The issue is most tools are adding AI chat to existing interfaces rather than building AI-native experiences from the ground up.
