How AI fits your workflow
AI is the core of this course. You learn the workflow a modern social media manager runs every month: research the brand and audience in Google NotebookLM, turn that research into a content calendar, draft copy and scripts with AI prompting, produce graphics in bulk, and then check, approve and schedule everything. The AI does the volume; you keep the voice, the facts and the brand safe.
