<strong>We were an AI-first development company... still writing content by hand.</strong>
<p>Despite building sophisticated AI tools for our clients, creating case studies, blog posts, and marketing content the old-fashioned way: <strong>typing every word manually</strong>.</p> <p>The irony was painful. Here we were, preaching AI-first development while spending hours crafting content that our own tools could generate in minutes.</p> <h2>The Moment of Realization</h2> <p>It hit us during a content planning session. We needed:</p> <ul> <li>3 case studies showcasing our MCPs</li> <li>2 blog posts about development innovations</li> <li>Multiple variations for A/B testing</li> <li>Social media adaptations</li> </ul><strong>Traditional approach</strong>: 2-3 days of writing, editing, revising <strong>Our AI tools</strong>: Could generate compelling variations in minutes
<strong>Why weren't we using our own medicine?</strong>
