Summary

Marketers report the workload is 'killing me/my team because AI can do everything now.' Leadership assumes AI covers the work, so headcount is cut while the real load — repetitive production, coordinating across many separate tools, and re-doing work that doesn't transfer between them — goes up. The promise of AI has not produced a unified shared workspace; instead every modality (video, image, copy, audio, conversational agents) lives in a different tool, multiplying context-switching and manual glue work. There is no place where a team can run multi-modal AI creation and agent-building together, so 'AI does everything' becomes more work for fewer people. This is a severe, unsolved operational pain with high willingness to pay for a genuinely unified creation platform.
