The comms planning process hasn't fundamentally changed in twenty years. Brief comes in. Desk research happens. Someone smart stares at a wall for a week. Strategy comes out.
The tools just changed. Not in a "robots are coming for your job" way. More like, what if you had a research team that never sleeps and reads everything?
And why a strategist matters more, not less.
AI generates a lot of signal. The problem is that signal without interpretation is just noise.
A strategist reads the room. They make the creative leap. They build trust. They take responsibility. AI can surface 15 tensions, but the jump to "idea that changes a brand" is a human act.
AI clears the runway. It handles the 80% that's gathering, structuring, and formatting. It gives you back the 20% that actually matters.
Every tool feeds the next. Every engagement makes the system smarter. SlimeScore is live and free. See how the system thinks.
