AI Tools That Are Changing the Game for Tech Writers
A few months ago, I started experimenting with AI tools to see how they could improve my writing workflow. I expected minor improvements; instead, I’ve experienced insane ease and speed.
Here are my standouts:
Voiceblogging with Voicepal—Articulate your drafts verbally rather than facing a blank page. Voicepal transcribes, refines, and even asks follow-up questions to help shape ideas.
Flowchart & Diagram Generation with NotesGPT.io – Generate flowcharts and diagrams instantly instead of wrestling with design tools. Saves hours.
Podcasting with NotebookLM—Upload research material, and AI turns it into a conversational podcast. At work, we’ve started using it to automate podcast production.
Talking Head Videos with Heygen & ElevenLabs— Create realistic AI avatars and voiceovers without stepping in front of a camera. Ideal for scalable video content.
The fifth one is my personal favorite and a game changer. Go read about it here.
If you haven't integrated AI into your content workflow yet, you're losing out on efficiency.
SEO Is a Sinking Ship. Are You Swimming or Drowning?
Remember when ranking #1 on Google meant guaranteed traffic? Those days are fading.
AI search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are changing how people find information. Instead of clicking through multiple articles, users now expect a single, definitive answer.
The result?
60% of Google searches now end without a click.
Featured snippets, AI summaries, and “People Also Ask” boxes are burying organic results.
Even if you rank #1, fewer people are clicking.
So, what’s next for content professionals?
Should we optimize content for AI instead of humans?
Should companies build their own AI-powered search agents?
If broad, informational content is losing traffic, what kind of content should we focus on?
