Everywhere you turn these days, people are talking about different forms of AI entering all sorts of fields of businesses. Research from McKinsey suggests that the average number of AI capabilities organizations used in 2022 has doubled since 2018.
And while some remain skeptical, others recognize the positive impact it will have on the quality of their work and the overall business.
That’s why we decided to write an article covering all relevant trends in AI and demystify this somewhat futuristic reality we found ourselves in. Plus, we’ll provide you with a list of AI bots designed to set your review and approval process up for success.
What is AI?
AI, short for artificial intelligence, is an advanced technology that imitates human intelligence and is capable of performing human-like tasks. This is done by using large amounts of data to train computers to start replicating the patterns of human behavior – also known as machine learning.
Over time, AI became an umbrella term for everything related to advanced technologies and their abilities to make people’s lives easier. And while in reality, this is true, it’s good to know the definition of the term to truly understand all its capabilities and limitations.
AI goes way beyond spellchecking your work
Microsoft Word introduced its spell check feature way back in 1985 – the year of Back to the Future and Madonna’s Like A Virgin, if you want to get all nostalgic about it.
Since then, AI’s role in the content review process has been pretty stagnant. Tools like Grammarly and Hemingway App have gone a few steps further by offering tips on tone and style. But there’s still a lot of room for improvement.
Thankfully, that’s about to change.
Three ways you’ll be able to get AI feedback on your work
AI has a range of applications that can help you build a faster, more accurate, and higher-quality approval process.
Here are three major ways AI helps you improve your approval process:
1. Audiovisual moderation – AI tools designed to maintain your brand consistency while avoiding explicit content or plagiarism
2. Copy optimization – AI tools designed to perfect your copy and make it resonate with the right audience
3. Providing valuable insights – AI tools designed to help you make more informed decisions about the future
So, let’s take a closer look!

Whether you’re working in marketing or design, AI can play a powerful role in helping you stay on brand and make sure you comply with all regulations.
With audiovisual moderation tools, you can always comply with your brand guidelines even if there is no one from the brand team near you to warn you about any inconsistencies. Plus, you can make sure never to post any plagiarized or explicit content.
Here are three types of AI tools helping you with these tasks:
