“AI marketing agent” covers very different tools. Some write copy in your brand voice, some optimise content for search and AI answers, some run paid campaigns on their own, and some produce video. Pick by the job you want off your team’s plate, not by the label.

Which AI tools write marketing copy?
Jasper generates on-brand copy for ads, blogs and social with brand-voice controls. Copy.ai started as a copywriting tool and has expanded into broader go-to-market workflow automation. Writer and Typeface sit at the enterprise end: both use AI agents inside content workflows and focus on keeping output on-brand and compliant across large teams.
Which AI agents help with SEO and AI search visibility?
Surfer SEO analyses top-ranking pages and guides writers towards content that ranks, and now positions itself as an AI-visibility platform as well. For a self-hosted option, OpenSEO is an open-source alternative to commercial SEO suites, and WRS SEO tracks how a brand appears in ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews answers alongside Google rankings.
Can an AI agent run paid ads on its own?
Albert.ai is the most autonomous option here: it plans, executes and optimises digital ad campaigns across channels without manual intervention. AdCreative.ai is narrower — it produces the ad creatives, banners and social visuals, leaving targeting and spend to you or another tool. Smartly.io covers creative and media automation for larger advertisers.
What are the best AI video tools for marketing?
HeyGen and Synthesia both turn scripts into videos presented by AI avatars. HeyGen leans on voice cloning and translation for outreach and localisation; Synthesia is widely used for training and product content too. Descript is an editor rather than a generator — useful when you already record real footage or podcasts.
