What I learned: solo founders and small teams have the exact same problem, just compressed. You're the CMO, the copywriter, the ads person, and the brand police – all at once. There's no time to document what works, no one to enforce consistency, and context gets lost between Tuesday and Thursday. Then the revenue call comes and you bombard customers with 15 emails a week and are surprised when churn goes up.
So I built The AI CMO as a "marketing operating system" rather than another execution tool. The core idea:
* Brand guardrails enforced automatically – your voice, forbidden words, approval rules are baked in * Long-term memory – corrections stick, past campaign learnings compound * Orchestration – it decides which tools/channels to use based on your playbooks (built-in or your existing stack) * Your data stays yours – connect your own data warehouse or use ours; pipe everything back to your infrastructure
Works whether you're a one-person shop or a 50-person marketing team – the system scales with you instead of requiring you to scale first.
What's missing? What would make this actually useful for you?
