Copy.ai review

What Copy.ai is

Copy.ai started as one of the first AI copywriting apps and has since repositioned as a GTM AI platform: one place to “infuse AI across your go-to-market engine” rather than juggling many copilots and point tools. It has two layers. Chat is a shared AI workspace with access to models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Workflows chain AI steps into automated processes, such as researching a list of accounts and drafting outreach, or turning a product brief into a set of SEO articles.

Copy.ai’s site features customers such as Lenovo and Juniper Networks, and a quote crediting it with “5x more meetings.”

Key features

Chat

Unlimited words and chat projects, and the ability to pick from several AI model families, shared across up to 5 seats on the Chat plan.

Workflows

Build multi-step automations that run on lists or triggers. Common templates include account research, content briefs, blog drafts, translation and lead enrichment.

Sales use cases

Research accounts and contacts to draft outreach, enrich and engage inbound leads quickly, and analyze sales transcripts to score deals and suggest next steps.

Marketing use cases

Generate SEO content, thought leadership, case studies and social posts, plus localized versions in other languages.

How to get started

1. Choose the Chat plan at copy.ai and invite up to 4 teammates.
2. Create a project for each campaign or account list and add brand guidelines.
3. Test different models on the same prompt to see which writes best for you.
4. Identify one repeatable task, such as weekly social posts, as a workflow candidate.
5. Talk to Copy.ai’s team about workflow plans if you need automation at scale.

Tips and tricks

• Store brand voice and product facts in your project so every chat starts with context.
• Compare models on important content; different models excel at different tasks.
• Keep a human editor in the loop for published content.
• Measure outcomes (meetings booked, traffic) to justify workflow plans.

Example chat prompt:

Using our brand voice notes and the attached case study, write a 150-word LinkedIn post for our CMO announcing the results. Lead with the customer’s outcome, avoid buzzwords and end with a question.
