Every creator needs to be using AI right now.
Things are moving fast. Like, blink-and-you-miss-it fast.
If you want to keep up, AI isn’t optional anymore.
It’s the edge that lets you move quicker, create more, and actually stay ahead of the curve.
But here’s the thing:
AI isn’t here to replace you. It’s here to enhance you.
It’s almost like that pill from Limitless (anyone?) the one that gives you superhuman powers.
That’s what AI feels like for creators right now.
You still need your ideas, your frameworks, your unique voice.
But now you can express them at a whole new level.
You can produce more, create better, and make your content way more meaningful.
This letter is about three AI tools every creator should be using right now.
If you’re not already playing with these, now’s the time. You don’t have to become an expert overnight. But start messing with them. See what’s possible. It’ll lay the foundation for you to really crush it as AI keeps evolving.
Let's go.
1. Lovable – Build tools, apps, and funnels (without a dev team)
This one’s a game changer.
Lovable is an AI tool that helps you design websites, funnels, and even basic apps, without needing to write a single line of code.
I’ve been using it to prototype ideas fast.
Like, really fast.
Let’s say you want to create a tool for your audience that helps them get a result you already help them with.
You could use Lovable to build:
- A pricing calculator for your service
- A quiz that recommends the right product
- A content idea generator
- A lead magnet builder
- A simple client onboarding app
- A “scorecard” that gives users a personalized result
And here’s the cool part:
Once you’ve built it, you can embed it directly into ClickFunnels (or any other builder).
Just copy the HTML/CSS/JS code Lovable gives you, drop it into an embed element in your funnel, and boom... it works right inside your page.
No dev team. No custom software. Just you and a few clicks.
If you’ve ever wanted to create your own tools for your audience, this is the fastest way I’ve found to do it.
2. N8N – Like Zapier, but smarter (and with AI)
If you’ve used Zapier before, you’ll love this.
N8N is an automation tool that lets you connect your apps together, but it also lets you run your data through AI models.
Which means you can do things like:
- Take form submissions and summarize them with AI
- Analyze customer feedback and pull out key insights
- Auto-generate personalized email responses
- Score leads based on their answers
- Create dynamic content based on user behavior
It’s like having a full-time operations assistant who also happens to be a data scientist.
Here’s a simple example:
Let’s say someone fills out a Typeform on your site.
You can use N8N to:
- Send their answers to ChatGPT
- Ask the AI to summarize their biggest pain points
- Automatically send that summary to your CRM
- Trigger a personalized email based on what they said
That’s not just automation. That’s intelligent automation.
And it’s how you scale without losing the personal touch.
3. Grain – Analyze your calls with AI
This one’s been a huge unlock for me.
I use Grain to record all my:
- Sales calls
- Coaching calls
- Webinars
- Team meetings
And then I use the built-in AI to analyze them.
I literally ask it questions like:
- “How did I do on this webinar?”
- “Was my pitch clear?”
- “Where did I lose the audience’s attention?”
- “Did I talk too much on this sales call?”
- “What could I have done to improve the conversion rate?”
It’s like having a performance coach watching every call and giving you feedback.
You’re not guessing what worked. You’re getting real insights so you can improve every time.
P.S. if you're interested in Grain, use code ERICTHAYNE for a discount.
4. Veo 3 – Generate lifelike videos and content
Google's Veo 3 just launched recently and it's a game change.
Yes, there's been other video generation tools out there, and they results were always so so...
But Veo 3 is different.
It creates lifelike videos that look LEGIT.
Not to mention, you can also tell it what you want the people in the video to say... and it will generate their voice too (with realistic mouth movement).
Some ways you can use this:
- Generate b-roll for your short form videos to make them more interesting
- Write and direct a comedy sketch and generate it completely with AI
- Create a video ad promoting your product or service
If you've seen viral videos like Bible Influencers, the Puppy Depression Cure, or the first fully-AI commercial on live TV...
These are all created by my friend PJ using Veo 3.
This is a huge opportunity right now.
Bonus Tool: Whisper AI – Write content in your actual voice
Okay, shameless plug time.
But I have to mention this.
I’m literally using Whisper AI right now to help write this newsletter.
It’s my own app, and it’s built to help creators write content faster without losing their voice.
Here’s how it works:
- You feed it your past content
- It learns your tone, rhythm, and style
- You give it your ideas, and it helps you write in your voice
No more generic "ChatGPT"-sounding posts.
No more writer's block.
Just you... enhanced.
It's powerful.
If you’re a creator who wants to write more, grow faster, and still sound like you, this is the tool I built for you.
We’re opening up a few more spots on the waitlist this week.
