Ehsan's Recommendation

In my experience advising growth-stage startups, the teams that win spend 2x less time on ai writing and ai video tools. With Copy.ai feeding into Runway, you remove the biggest friction point in most marketing automation workflows. The biggest wins come from the second and third workflows you build, not the first. Plan for iteration.
