The best AI content generator tools will save you a ton of time creating content, no matter your use case.
Whether you’re creating blog posts, social media content, or something else entirely, there’s probably a content generator for you.
I’ve been in digital marketing for over a decade and I can tell you, content is one of the most effective acquisition channels there is.
So if increasing your content throughput is a priority, you should find a content generator for your use case.
Tools like SEOptimer, ChatGPT, Copy AI, Jasper, Writer.com, Rytr, and Copysmith are all really powerful. With the help of artificial intelligence, they turn your short written inputs into paragraphs of unique content for a wide array of use cases.
In this article, I’ll cover the best AI content generators for every business use case. Stay tuned, and pick the right one for your business.
What are Content Generators?
You can get content done in three ways:
- You can write it yourself
- You can outsource it to a blog writing service
- Or, use an automated content generator (also called an AI writing tool)
Content generators are AI-powered tools that automatically create written content by accessing a “corpus” of tens of billions of web pages or more. That means these tools can create totally unique content in the blink of an eye.
With content generators you can make:
- Ad copy for Facebook, Twitter, Google Ads, LinkedIn and more
- Blog copy for long-form content like listicles, “how-to posts,” and thought leadership articles
- Short product descriptions for ecommerce sites
- Social media copy for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.
- Sales and email copy
Now, let’s talk about the best ones for every use case.
The 15 Best Content Generator Tools
1. SEOptimer
If your goal is to write SEO-optimized blog posts 10x faster, look no further than SEOptimer.
SEOptimer enables you to research keywords and write blog posts with the click of a button.
And it works for any topic, in any language.
What it does:
SEOptimer has earned 4.6 stars on G2 for its SEO audit and reporting capabilities, but we've recently released our own set of AI content generator tools, including an AI Blog Post Generator.

2. ChatGPT
ChatGPT is the only truly free AI content generator. If you haven’t heard of it by now, you may be living under a rock. Just kidding. ChatGPT enables you to do just about anything with AI.
Write an email to your boss, rephrase a sales email, add more polish to a school essay, or even answer simple queries like, “how to make pasta from scratch.”
I like to use it for a bunch of time-saving tasks like generating a quick and dirty outline for a blog post or for finding topical gaps in my blog posts.
What it does:
ChatGPT is one of the most powerful AI tools ever created. It’s essentially a chatbot that has access to billions of documents and a huge corpus of information. That means you can ask it to do or generate basically anything and it will oblige.
The use cases are basically endless: from writing code, to crafting emails, to creating a YouTube script.
Features:
- Instantly generate copy for anything
- Use it as a brainstorming partner
- Simple chat interface with
Who it’s for:
ChatGPT is for anyone who writes copy.
Pricing:
- Free forever
- $20/month: gives you access to new ChatGPT features, faster completions, and priority access when their servers are busy
3. Copy.ai
Copy.ai is an automated creative tool that generates marketing copy in seconds. Copy AI spans over 90 use cases.
Built on powerful AI, Copy.ai generates ad copy, social media content, website copy, blog content, and any other form of digital copy. It has the most styles of copywriting of any tool (over 90 functions).
You can create email content, Facebook Ad content, Google Ad content, sales outreach copy, and much more. It doesn’t specialize, so it’s great for an all-around digital marketer.
What it does:
Copy.ai enables marketers to build custom workflows to generate all kinds of digital copy.
Features:
- Instantly generate any marketing copy
- Beat writer’s block by inputting some basic keywords and letting Copy.ai do the rest

- 90+ different tools to explore: email marketing, social media, sales outreach, slogans, calls-to-action, paraphrasing, hashtags, mottos, etc.
- Recently released Copy AI Chat, which combines the power of ChatGPT’s chatbot interface with up-to-date information. ChatGPT’s biggest shortcoming is that its training data is old. So it likely doesn’t know current events or really anything happening on the web after 2022. Copy AI’s ChatGPT alternative solves this issue by connecting AI with real-time information, like a person’s LinkedIn updates or a company’s recently-announced news. This means you can create sales emails or marketing copy with current information.
Who it’s for:
Copy AI is for anyone looking to save time producing copy or push through a creative block. What you get back isn’t always going to be perfect, but it’s going to put you on the right path to creating a perfect piece of copy. It’s a great tool for entrepreneurs and growth hackers looking to save time.
Personally, I’ve used it for outbound email sales copy many times. Copy AI works in 25+ languages. Copy AI has 4.7 stars on G2.
Pricing:
- Free for 2,000 words
- Starter: $49/mo
4. Jasper
Jasper (formerly known as Jarvis) is one of the best content generators on the market.
Their AI instantly generates high-quality copy for almost endless options beyond your marketing classics, including the “Explain it to a child” setting to real estate listings and Quora answers.
They’re probably the most recognizable name in AI writing, mostly due to their $125 million fundraise.
At higher pricing tiers, Jasper enables users to write long-form content with the assistance of AI. This means that for every few sentences of “human” content, you can click to produce some AI-generated content. In theory, this should save you a ton of time as you write.
What it does:
Jasper enables users to create a number of different content types and even choose the tone of the content they’re creating. It has more than 30 language options, perfect grammar, and offers a long-form writing assistant.
Like Copy AI, it has a lot of use cases. Both Jasper and Copy AI are going after enterprise customers. As such, they offer API access and other “big company” features.
Features:
- AIDA framework
- Blog post topic ideas
- Blog post outline
- Blog post intro and conclusion paragraphs

Who it’s for:
Jasper is for content creators and digital marketers who want to take some shortcuts with their writing. As with Copy AI and some other full-content production tools, the results are mixed. I find the long-form copy to be worse than SEOptimer or Copy AI.
However, ad copy seems to be great, plus they just introduced Jasper Images for DALL-E generated images. Jasper has 4.7 stars on G2.
Pricing:
- Creator: $49 per month per seat
- Pro: $69 per month per seat

This tool generates realistic voice-overs for written content, video, podcasts, and more. It uses AI text-to-speech technology, so you don’t have to use your voice.

Pencil goes as far as to say their AI-generated ad copy performs better than a manually generated copy. That’s certainly food for thought.
What it does:
You provide a brief consisting of key details, images, video clips, and other media you want in your ads. Pencil then generates dozens of unique ads for you to check out.

Best Ad Copy Generator
Copy.ai is a jack-of-all-trades marketing tool. It enables you to produce product copy, email copy, Facebook headlines, Google descriptions, Instagram captions, and much more. It has taken hold in the performance marketing community as a great tool for producing quippy, short ad copy in just a few seconds. Jasper is a close second.
While the recommendations aren’t always perfect, it certainly has a diverse product offering and with enough tries, you’ll get copy you’d be proud to put in your ad campaigns.
Benefits of Using Content Generators
Businesses spent over $300 billion on content marketing last year.
And producing content from scratch is an expensive and time-consuming process.
From coming up with an idea or the right keywords to producing thousands of words, it can take hours—even days—depending on the level of research required for the topic. Moreover, marketers spend a lot of time dreaming up quippy ad copy and email prose — time that can be eliminated with a good content generator.
Content generators produce content at the click of a button. Before you get excited, they’re not perfect. They’re still prone to error and nothing beats a good old human edit.
But there are many of them and several key benefits to using content generators:
Time-Saving
Time is money, not to mention missing deadlines can be costly.
Content generators can produce just about any number of words of content with a click of a button. Sure, you’ll still need to read, edit, and add your own voice and style to the content. But the primary benefit of using content generators is the time they save.
Beating Writer’s Block
Writer’s block is a real issue that can put the brakes on content production. AI doesn’t get writer’s block—neither does it struggle to come up with creative ideas.
If you’re one of those writers that struggle to get started with a blank screen in front of you, a content generator is going to bail you out every time.
New/Fresh Ideas
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try or how much research you do, you just will not come across certain ideas and keywords. Content generators can scan an almost infinite amount of content in seconds. Something we as humans simply cannot physically do. This is particularly useful when looking for keywords or a burst of creativity for a new blog post.
Conclusion
The AI powering content generators isn’t at a point where it can replace us (yet). But, as you can see from the tools above, there is no question that content generators can save you a lot of time.
In conclusion, each of these tools is capable of producing content at the click of a button. If you need some inspiration, a little creative help, or a way to speed up your content production, there’s a tool out there to help.
