Copysmith.ai user review   

 Copysmith.ai is not a zero-knowlege start product. It’s got some idiosyncracies to learn to get going.

Like other tools you can choose from a selection of writing intentions inside Copysmith.ai, to set up your writing task. For each task you’ve got to enter a subject which will be a little annoying,

To test long form creation process, the selection so it takes me to a blank page, but there is no way to proceed without adding some content to the blank page – and no prompts to tell you to do so.

I copied my title and pasted it to the page. Highlight the text and the Generate button activate. Again, this is non-intuitive for a first time user. Surprising the generated text was poor quality.

Trying again, this time, I copied the heading and selected the Add More button, selecting the Blog Intro which gave better results – introductory paragraphs to work from.

The process of adding this copy to the document and then selecting it, and using that to generate a blog outline makes sense. Then generating more copy for each outline point, though there is danger of losing subject context.

Conversely selecting the introduction and clicking Add more generated more content to expand upon the introduction.

The documents you create are saved, allowing you to easily find and re-use previous writings for new projects. Importantly its establishes a foundation for content creation collaboration and management with a team.

Developments in Technical talent acquisition and recruitment

Technical talent and the acquisition of this talent have become a major focus in today’s corporate world. The efforts begun with the recruitment of top-notch technical talent have experienced a significant evolution over the past decade. The first step in the process was to develop a process to identify the skill sets of prospective candidates.

This was accomplished through the use of talent management and assessment tools.

These tools were used to create a profile of the ideal candidates. The second step was to advertise and market the jobs to attract the best candidates.

The third step was to assess the quality of the potential talent through interviews, tests, past work samples, etc.

The fourth step was to accept or reject candidates based on the quality of their profiles. This process is time consuming, costly and often ends in mistakes because of human subjectivity.

Over time, this evolved into a systematized method to find, attract and hire the best candidates to execute the IT strategy.

There was a need to standardize the process and implement an integrated and flexible method to manage all of the various technical roles. This process is evolving every day and often presents a challenge to CIOs and recruiting managers. This chapter provides an overview of the process that is followed, highlighting the steps that are most important for achieving success.

The new process has gradually shifted its focus to identifying candidates with a higher probability of success in their desired roles.

This has been accomplished through the introduction of a number of new tools and talent acquisition best practices that have been shown to provide a higher rate of success when utilized effectively within today’s talent acquisition strategies.

Another major shift in the recruitment process has been the use of shorter duration and more specialized staff augmentation strategies.

Collaboration Features

Copysmith.ai branding ‘Copysmith is the AI content creation solution for teams’ explicating states what its marketplace niche will be – online collaboration.

There are workflow set-up features, allowing an individual to create task queues and workflows for team members to work collaborative on a document together.

Create assignment -> junior team member creates ai powered first draft -> senior editor performs ai -powered re-write and wordsmithing, -> project lead reviews and signs off for production.

Potentially very powerful in the right hands with high volume requirement.

The Waterbottle test

Fortunately, Copysmith.ai offers a 7 day free trial. so I’ve also run it through its paces with a product description test.

Using the Copysmith Product Description tool produced:

The Nakatomi Insulated Water Bottle is the perfect way to keep your drinks cold or hot while on the go. Made of high quality stainless steel, this water bottle is double-walled and vacuum insulated to keep your drinks at the perfect temperature for up to 12 hours. It also features a wide mouth opening for easy filling and a leak-proof lid to prevent spills. Plus, it’s BPA-free and reusable, making it a great choice for those who are environmentally conscious.

My conclusion

Right now this is not the tool for me.

The process of engaging with this product is clunky and not intuitive. The need to constantly engage with input prompts makes the content creation process require more mental bandwidth than other products. This would be Ok if the quality of the content was stellar and on-point. This is subjective of course but the long-form content creations were weak to my mind. Product Descriptions were as good as any I’ve seen so far though. 

If I was collaborating with an onshore/offshore team, with an online store with 1000s of SKUs for example, the collaboration features – collaborating and tasking workflows, saving and reusing content on Copysmith would potentially be a 10x productivity improver. So I’ll withhold judgement – it could be simply great but just weak for my evaluation case.

Pricing

Prices starts at $19.00 a month but comes with a 7 day free trial. This team collaboration means that multi-user could be the use-case, in which you’d be required to source custom pricing.
