Complete guide to Copy.ai

Getting started

Sign up at copy.ai. By 2026, the platform has evolved from a text generator into a full GTM (go-to-market) platform: besides generating standalone copy, it lets you build Workflows, multi-step automated processes that combine prebuilt AI actions ("Actions"). To get started, try the free content generators first (ads, emails, product descriptions), and when you need to automate a process you repeat often, build your first Workflow by combining several Actions.

Use cases

Marketing content generation
Write ads, emails, product descriptions, and blog outlines from predefined templates.
Full GTM process automation
Workflows chain multiple AI actions together for tasks like qualifying leads, generating target account insights, or creating personalized content at scale.
Account-based marketing (ABM)
Automatically generates personalized content and materials for a sales or marketing team's priority target accounts.
Brand consistency with Infobase
Centralizes company and product information so all AI-generated content is accurate and aligned with real business data.

Advanced setup

  1. Build a Workflow
    Combine Actions (prebuilt AI skills) into a multi-step process, no prompt engineering knowledge required, designed to run repeatedly with your brand, your data, and your rules.
  2. Set up Infobase and Brand Voice
    Upload company, product, and key data into Infobase, and define your Brand Voice so generated content stays accurate and keeps a consistent tone.
  3. Integrations
    Connect Copy.ai directly to your CRM and other GTM platforms, or to 2,000+ apps through Zapier to automate complete workflows.
  4. Workflow credits
    Automation plans (starting at $1,000/month on the Growth plan) are measured in Workflow credits consumed each time an automation runs.

Tips

  • Start with the free content generators before investing in the Workflows plan: it helps you understand which automations you actually need.
  • Set up Infobase with real data about your company before launching large-scale automated campaigns: this greatly reduces the risk of inaccurate content.
  • If your team already uses many different tools, take advantage of the CRM or Zapier integrations instead of manually exporting and importing data.
  • Design a Workflow once for a process you repeat often (for example, lead qualification) and let it run automatically.
