AI-Powered Tools Revolutionize Content Creation and Data Insights: Emplifi Survey Reveals 50% Time Savings

New York, December 5, 2024 –  Emplifi, a leading customer engagement platform, has released new findings that highlight the transformative impact artificial intelligence (AI) is having on content creation, with users reporting time savings of up to 50%. This significant reduction in time spent on content creation offers substantial benefits for creators across various industries, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks.

According to the survey, most users leveraging AI for content creation  save up to an hour per piece of content. With a recommended posting frequency of 1–2 times per day per channel, this can add up to as much as 60 hours saved per month. For larger projects, these time savings are even greater, solidifying AI as a key productivity tool for creators.

About 51% of participants reported using AI to automate content creation tasks like generating post captions. Another 38% use it for analyzing trends and generating content ideas, while 29% are leveraging AI for personalizing content and optimizing posting strategies. However, 20% of respondents indicated they do not currently use AI, highlighting an opportunity to promote its time-saving advantages to drive broader adoption.

“As the demand for engaging and timely content continues to rise, AI is becoming an essential tool for content creators across various industries,” Emplifi CMO Susan Ganeshan said. “By streamlining their processes and freeing up more time for creative strategy, AI empowers content creators to focus on what truly matters—crafting impactful messages that resonate with their audiences.”

Emplifi’s AI Composer Drives Efficiency and Engagement

Emplifi’s AI Composer, winner of the 2023 Artificial Intelligence Breakthrough Award, is at the forefront of AI-driven content creation. This innovative tool allows users to efficiently draft, schedule, and publish posts, as well as respond to interactions across social media platforms. Over the past six months, 96% of AI Composer users created posts for Facebook, followed by 85% for Instagram, 77% for X (formerly Twitter), and 70% for LinkedIn. The proportion of posts for which they used AI Composer ranged per network from 8% for TikTok to 23% for Instagram.

Interestingly, Instagram leads in AI Composer usage, despite being a visually oriented platform. This suggests that users are increasingly seeking AI support to craft compelling text to enhance their visual content, underscoring AI’s versatility in content creation.

AI Composer not only saves time but also boosts content performance. Posts created with AI Composer have shown a 5% improvement in overall performance, with the largest increase in engagement seen on Instagram at nearly 9%. The use of AI Composer has seen significant growth in recent months. The number of users publishing posts with the tool increased by 8%, while the number of posts created using AI Composer jumped by 14%. On average, crafting text for a social media post using AI Composer takes just over nine minutes, highlighting its efficiency in streamlining content creation processes.
