Most marketers are still thinking about agents like they're futuristic toys.
But the reality?
Agents are already here. And they're already working — quietly, behind the scenes — like unpaid interns who never sleep and never miss deadlines.
We're not talking about sci-fi autonomy. We're talking about leveraging AI agents to offload the grind work across your funnel.
This issue is about how to use agents like interns to get your time back and your results up.
The Framework: Agent-Stacked Marketing
Instead of building big workflows, start thinking about small AI interns handling the boring bits.
Here’s the 3-layer stack I use:
1. Scouting Interns (Insight Agents)
What they do: Research trends, scrape competitor data, surface hidden insights
Tools: Perplexity, Claude, Reddit/X scrapers
2. Execution Interns (Action Agents)
What they do: Draft emails, ads, blog posts, landing pages
Tools: Claude, Notion AI, Make.com
3. Reporting Interns (Feedback Agents)
What they do: Summarize what worked, what didn’t, and suggest fixes
Tools: Looker to Claude to Slack alerts
Each intern owns one piece of the puzzle. You stay in charge of strategy. They handle the rest.
Use Case: Launch a Feature Without the Headache
Old way:
Write a creative brief
Wait on freelancers
Rewrite copy
Send emails manually
Check GA 3 days later
Panic
New way:
Prompt Claude: "Act like a product marketer. Launch this new feature in email, LinkedIn, and the homepage."
Claude and Notion generate the content
Claude and Zapier push the assets live
Slack pings you: "Landing page conversions dropped 14 percent. Want a rewrite?"
You didn’t just save time. You launched smarter.
Try This Prompt
"You are my marketing intern. Your job is to launch a new product using email, LinkedIn, and the website. The product is: [PASTE]. Show me a plan, timeline, and full draft content for each."
Action Step
Test the intern model.
Pick one recurring task this week and assign it to an agent using Claude, Perplexity, or GPT.
Reply to this email and show me what you built. I’ll feature the best one next issue.
PS: If your intern complains, fix the prompt, not the pay.
