The human advantage: how to give your brand a real voice — Lianna Patch
Notas del episodio
AI can write. But can it actually persuade customers?
In this episode of Sounds Good, Lianna Patch joins Anna Nadeina to talk about what AI is genuinely good at, where Claude and ChatGPT still fail, and why the best SaaS companies are investing more—not less—in brand, personality, and great content.
We cover:
• Why AI-generated copy still sounds the same
• When Claude is actually useful (and when it isn't)
• Why website copy and lifecycle emails still need humans
• Founder branding vs company branding
• Why humor is becoming a competitive advantage in SaaS
• How to create content people actually remember
• Building trust through personality—not prompts
• The role of communities like MicroConf in founder growth
• Whether content marketing can actually be measured
