How to Use AI for Content Ideas (Step-by-Step)
-
Start with a Clear Prompt

Bonus: Mention tone ("funny", "professional", "relatable") or format (video, carousel, reel, etc.)
-
-
Refine the Ideas
AI gives you a draft—you decide what fits your brand. Mix, match, or tweak. -
Turn Ideas into Posts
Use tools like Canva or CapCut to design visual content from AI suggestions. -
Organize into a Content Calendar
AI can also help plan out when and where to post for maximum engagement.
