The AI Marketing Lab
The playbooks, expert personas, and tools directory in the AI Marketing Lab come from open-source collections created by other authors and published under the MIT license. They remain the work of those authors and are shared here with attribution. You may use them under the terms of their licenses, listed in Credits and licenses below. The prompt packs marked "Lab original", the summaries, the organization, the guide, and the Launch Kit are mine, and you are welcome to use them in your own work.
AI-generated output
Lab items are designed to be used with third-party AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Those tools are governed by their own terms. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Review and verify anything an AI tool produces before you rely on it or publish it, and make sure your use complies with the laws and platform rules that apply to you.
