AI Content Creation

Radi8 got accepted into the Claude for Startups program this week, and our Radi8 connector was approved for Claude's directory. Add it here: https://claude.ai/directory/radi8 I'm a little giddy about this one! Here's what it means if you're running a practice on your own. You can add Radi8 to Claude from the connector directory, and the chat you already have open becomes the place your social happens. Ask Claude for a LinkedIn post and it already knows your voice, your audience, your strategy, and what you've posted before, because Radi8 hands it all of that. Then it drafts the post and schedules it, mid-conversation, without opening another tab. Nothing publishes without your approval. That part doesn't change. We built Radi8 connectors so you can do social in chat. We have one for ChatGPT too!! …more

I want more people to try Radi8. So I'm putting 30 days free on the table, on me. Sign up by September 30, 2026 and you get a promo code for 30 days free. Every feature in Radi8, nothing held back.

By the end of 30 days you'll have a working brand that's clear, focused, and actually sounds like you. You'll see how easy it is to create authentic posts for all your channels, generate images and carousels, and schedule them out into the future so you don't have to remember. You'll turn a long piece of content into short-form posts with a few clicks. You'll run Radi8 right inside Claude and ChatGPT, so you can work and post straight from chat. You can even generate a month of posts in advance, so you don't have to live online.

I’m not that great at making LinkedIn videos… but I’m getting better. I’m trying to do the selfie video thing so I can have content that’s clearly not AI - and since AI creates mostly perfect images and even video now, I figured seeing my amateur attempts will add some HUMAN to your day. If you’re up for it, I’d love to see your videos too. Don’t worry if they suck. It’s way more interesting than a perfectly written manifesto on getting rich quick. …more

Last week Radi8 put an event on my calendar that I had never agreed to host. I ran one last month, on the last Thursday. So when it laid out this month's content plan it produced a date for the next one, same slot, delivered with total confidence, as though I'd asked for it. It wouldn't have been a disaster, I'd have just forced myself to run the event! But nothing had asked for that date. No calendar entry, no input, no rule that generated it. It filled a gap with something that looked right, and nothing broke, no error, no warning, just a plausible answer that would have gone out looking exactly like the real ones. Earlier in my career I'd have logged that as a bug and moved on. Building an AI product teaches you it's a whole category rather than a defect, because a model has no way to feel uncertain, it produces the most likely next thing, and a fabricated date looks every bit as likely as a real one. I see the same failure when someone hands their positioning to an AI. What comes back is fluent, and it is somebody's positioning, rarely theirs. Fluent is hard to argue with, which is exactly what makes it expensive. The fix wasn't a smarter model, it was making the thing show its work. Every date Radi8 writes now has to name where it came from, and anything that can't gets flagged before a person ever sees it. Ask that of any draft that lands in front of you. Where did this come from? Which client actually said it? If the honest answer is that it sounded right, you're reading fiction in your own voice.

The new Radi8 Teleprompter is a big hit for people who want to post more, but have had trouble creating videos. PLUS, the all new AI Image builder will take your images and make them 100x better... or generate new images completely. …more

The blank page is not a creativity problem. It is a starting problem. And for most independent consultants, coaches, and advisors trying to build visibility on their own, the starting problem wins more often than it should. You know what you want to say. You have the thinking. What you do not have is a first draft — and without one, the post never gets written, the video never gets recorded, and another week passes without showing up where your future clients can find you. Radi8 removes that specific barrier. Before it generates anything, Radi8 learns your brand, your voice, your positioning, and your marketing goals. That matters. It means the draft it produces is not a generic content block you have to tear apart and rebuild. It is a working document — shaped by your strategy — that you review, adjust, and approve. Editing a draft is a fundamentally different task than creating from nothing. It is faster, lower friction, and far more likely to actually get done. From there, the path is straightforward. Open the built-in teleprompter, read your approved script, and record once. Radi8 handles video compression and adds captions automatically. Then schedule it, and Radi8 publishes to your channels. One session. One take. Content across your platforms. Visibility does not require a production team or a content manager. It requires removing the part that stops most people: the blank page. If getting visible and staying consistent has been the goal but the execution keeps stalling, try Radi8. The trial is a practical way to see whether a tool that knows your brand before it writes a word changes how you show up. #IndependentConsultant #ThoughtLeadership …more

Hashtags are a small thing that quietly tells you something bigger: most founders are still managing their presence one post at a time, in their head, instead of turning what they've learned into a system. Here's what I mean. Every channel has its own unspoken rules. LinkedIn suppresses reach on posts that push people off-platform, so links belong in the first comment, not the body. Hashtags work differently on LinkedIn than they do on X — a handful of categorization tags at the end here, almost none there. None of that is complicated. It's just a set of preferences you have to remember and apply, every single time, forever. That's exactly the kind of repetitive judgment that never gets done consistently when it lives only in your head. So I recorded a short walk-through of how I actually run this inside Claude.ai, driving Radi8 directly. In it I check how I've been using hashtags, set hashtag preferences per channel, walk through my scheduled LinkedIn and X posts to add them, and turn "move the LinkedIn link into the first comment" into a standing preference so I never have to think about it again. The point isn't the tool. It's the shift underneath it. I'm not asking AI to decide what to say or how to sound — that's mine. I'm asking it to remember my rules and apply them the same way every time, so consistency stops depending on my memory on a busy Tuesday. AI amplifies the preferences, focus, and voice you feed it. It doesn't invent them. That's why the founders getting real leverage from it aren't the ones automating the most — they're the ones who got clear on their own rules first, then handed the execution off. I am the founder of Radi8, so this is me sharing the journey in public, not a pitch. Happy to point anyone who's curious in the right direction. For the founders here: how much of how you show up online lives as an actual repeatable system versus a decision you re-make from scratch every time you post? #Founders #Startups #Entrepreneurship #AIforBusiness #MarketingSystems …more

A lot of founders ask me how I use Claude and Radi8 together. Here's the honest answer: I don't really "use Claude" anymore. Not the way most people think. I don't write prompts. I don't paste in context. I don't explain my audience or my voice or my offers every time I sit down to create content. Radi8 handles all of that. My brand context, my strategy, my campaign plan, my voice, my proof points — it's all stored in Radi8. When Claude works inside Radi8, it already knows everything it needs to know. It's not starting from scratch. It's starting from me. The workflow: 1. Open Radi8 and pull up my campaign plan for the month 2. Pick the piece of content I'm working on — the brief is already there 3. Generate — Claude writes from my brief, my brand, my voice 4. One quick edit pass, maybe 5 minutes 5. Schedule That's it. No prompt engineering. No re-explaining yourself every session. No output that sounds like it could have come from anyone. The insight most people miss about AI content tools: the problem was never the AI. It was the setup. When the AI knows your business as well as you do, it stops feeling like a tool and starts feeling like a collaborator. That's what I built Radi8 to do. DM me "workflow" and I'll show you how it works. …more

I'm putting on a workshop for small business owners on May 28th in San Jose at the MLK Library. It's hosted by the Silicon Valley Small Business Development Center, and the focus is simple: how to use AI and social media without living on it all day. Most small business owners I work with tell me the same thing. They know they need to post. They know they need to stay active. But they hate the time it takes, and they never know what to say. That's the problem I solve. Not with another content calendar template. Not with another AI tool that spits out generic posts. But with one repeatable workflow that takes 15 minutes a day and fits your business. I've launched three startups. One ended in an acquisition. I've spent years building go-to-market strategies and helping founders run their own marketing without burning out. The truth is you don't need a marketing team. You need one habit that works. At this workshop, I'll walk you through the practical workflows and time-saving templates you can start using the next day. No fluff. No theory. Just the systems I use with clients who need to stay visible without adding another full-time job. If you can't make it to San Jose but you want help building your own 15-minute marketing habit, I'm offering free 15–20 minute marketing audits. I'll review what you're doing now, give you one or two quick wins, and build your first week of content with you. Book the audit: https://www.radi8.com/free-audit?utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=free_audit&utm_content=post_id Or if you're in the Bay Area on May 28th, I'd love to see you at the workshop. …more

Here's a workflow you can steal. One core message → five LinkedIn posts in 30 minutes. Step 1 (5 min): Pick one thing you believe about your industry. Not a tip. A point of view. Example: "Most marketing advice for small business owners is wrong because it assumes you have a marketing team." Step 2 (5 min): Write it as a single declarative sentence. That's your core message. Step 3 (10 min): Generate five angles on it with AI. Story angle (a moment this was true). Contrarian angle (what people get wrong). Tactical angle (one thing to do differently). Mistake angle (what you used to do). Persona angle (who specifically this hurts). Step 4 (10 min): For each angle, write the first two lines yourself — that's the hook. Let AI fill in the middle. Edit the ending so the CTA sounds like you. That's it. Five posts. Same core idea, five different doors into it. Your audience won't feel repetition because each post leads with a different shape of thought. I'm walking through this workflow plus two more — competitor research in 10 minutes, and an editorial system that runs in 15 minutes a day — at my workshop on May 28th in San Jose at the MLK Library, hosted by the Silicon Valley Small Business Development Center. If you can't make it, book a free 15 to 20 minute marketing audit and I'll run this workflow with you on your business. https://www.radi8.com/free-audit?utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=free_audit&utm_content=post_id DM me if you want the workshop link. …more

Most founders I talk to say the same thing: "I don't have time for marketing, and I can't afford to hire it out." Natalia Bishop, founder of the WILD Accelerator, told me something that stuck. She said most of the founders she works with have the idea and the drive. What they don't have is a system to stay visible without burning out. That resonated because it's the exact challenge I see with early-stage founders every week. You're building the product, closing deals, managing cash flow — and somehow you're supposed to stay top of mind with prospects and investors too. In our conversation on the Inspiring Founders Podcast, Natalia walked through how WILD supports founders from underrepresented backgrounds with grants, mentorship, and leadership coaching. One of the most valuable things they offer isn't funding. It's helping founders build a repeatable system for showing up consistently, even when resources are tight. You don't need a full marketing team to stay engaged with your audience. You need a workflow that's simple, repeatable, and doesn't eat your week. If you're handling your own marketing and want a system that fits your schedule, book a free 15-minute marketing audit with me. I'll walk you through one or two quick wins and a repeatable content workflow you can run yourself. https://www.radi8.com/free-audit?utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=free_audit&utm_content=podcast-8 P.S. The full conversation with Natalia about building support systems for underserved founders is live on the Inspiring Founders Podcast — on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts. https://www.inspiringfounders.com/podcast …more
