AI isn’t just a buzzword anymore — it’s your co-worker, your research assistant, and in some cases, your overnight sales rep. At Apidae, we’ve fully embraced this shift. We don’t just follow AI trends; we field-test tools, break workflows (on purpose), and rebuild them with better speed, scale, and clarity.
In this blog, we’re opening the doors to our actual tech stack. These are the AI tools we use daily across content creation, creative production, data analysis, automation, voice interaction, and coding. And we’re not stopping there — we’re also exploring emerging “agentic” AI tools that take things one step further: from responding to acting.
If you’re looking for an AI stack that’s genuinely battle-tested, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at ours.
AI Tools for Content Creation
You can’t scale content without smart tools. Whether we’re brainstorming social copy or launching entire campaigns, AI cuts the time from idea to execution dramatically.
ChatGPT – The Versatile MVP
Let’s be honest — ChatGPT is the workhorse of our content team. We use it for:
- Outlining blog posts
- Drafting email campaigns
- Rewriting sentences for clarity
- Generating alternative CTAs or social hooks
Even non-writers in our team use it to “sanity check” tone and structure before pressing send. One colleague described it best:
“It saves me from reading my own emails five times before sending.”
We combine ChatGPT with Gemini (more on that below) for contextual, insight-led content ideas — especially when we need industry-specific angles.
Manus.im – Focused Writing, Zero Clutter
When you just need to write — no tabs, no formatting tools, no visual clutter — Manus.im delivers. It’s our go-to for distraction-free writing sprints. Think of it as a minimalistic Google Docs with fewer reasons to procrastinate.
We often pair this with ChatGPT: brainstorm with GPT, draft in Manus.im, then review collaboratively in Google Docs.
Opus.pro – From Longform to Scroll-Stopping Shorts
Repurposing is no longer optional. Opus.pro lets us turn webinars, interviews, or podcasts into short-form videos with dynamic captions — ready for TikTok, LinkedIn, or Reels in minutes.
We’ve used it to repackage CEO interviews, speed up ad production, and keep our social feeds active without burning out the team.
AI for Automation and Data Analysis
Making decisions in real time means fewer bottlenecks. These tools help us clean, connect, and action data across the organisation.
Gemini (Google’s AI) – Insight Generation at Speed
Google’s Gemini is our second set of eyes during research and ideation. We use it to:
- Summarise market trends
- Extract key findings from long reports
- Sense-check content direction based on current data
When paired with ChatGPT, we can bounce between high-quality summarisation and high-clarity copywriting.
RelevanceAI – Agentic Automation for Complex Workflows
This is where things get clever. RelevanceAI allows us to build agents — not just static automations, but intelligent agents that learn patterns in our data and optimise accordingly.
For example, we use RelevanceAI to cluster customer feedback, detect recurring themes, and inform product teams — all automatically. It’s like giving your data analysis team a coffee break that lasts all day (and nobody falls behind).
n8n.io – Our Visual Automation Brain
You could think of n8n as our connective tissue. It links different platforms, triggers, and actions together, automating:
- Lead routing
- Slack alerts from analytics anomalies
- Content scheduling
- Email triggers based on customer behaviours
As a visual automation tool, it’s incredibly team-friendly — no dev required. And it works beautifully with RelevanceAI and BigQuery.
AI Tools for Creative Production
Creativity at scale is hard — especially when you’re battling ad fatigue and short attention spans. These tools help us stay ahead of that curve.
Lovable.dev – No-Code MVPs and Landing Pages
When you need to build quickly — whether it’s a campaign-specific microsite, an internal tool, or a client demo — Lovable delivers. Our marketing and product teams both use it to test hypotheses in real time.
No dev bottlenecks. No messy back-and-forth. Just drag, drop, ship.
Supabase – The Backend Powerhouse
We pair Lovable with Supabase to create fully functioning backend support for our no-code builds. It gives us user authentication, real-time databases, and API endpoints without needing to spin up full stacks.
This combination alone has saved us weeks of dev time across internal projects.
Arcads.ai – UGC Ads at Scale
User-generated content works. But scaling it manually? Not fun. Arcads helps us automate the creation of UGC-style ads — fast, repeatable, and on-brand.
We’ve used Arcads to produce dozens of ad variations for A/B testing without needing a full video team.
Heygen.com – Multilingual Video Avatars
Whether we’re creating internal onboarding, explainer videos, or market-specific sales content, Heygen has been a game-changer.
You choose an avatar, write your script, and boom — you’ve got a video in your chosen language, accent, and tone. We’ve used it to expand our reach across non-English-speaking markets with ease.
Voice AI and Sales Automation
Voice is making a comeback — and not just in smart homes. In sales, voice-based AI is proving to be a high-performing acquisition channel.
Vapi.ai – AI Sales Agents That Never Sleep
Vapi has allowed us to automate outbound sales calls, lead qualification, and appointment setting — using human-like voice interactions.
It’s ideal for regions or verticals where voice is still king (think real estate, finance, aged care). These agents operate 24/7, follow scripts, handle objections, and never need a lunch break.
The result? A steady stream of qualified leads while your human reps focus on closing.
AI Tools for Developers
Speed matters in dev — and these tools help us write, debug, and ship faster.
GitHub Copilot – Instant Code Suggestions
Loved by our dev team, Copilot is like autocomplete on steroids. It cuts writing time by suggesting code based on natural language prompts, helping us:
- Scaffold new features
- Document code faster
- Avoid silly syntax errors
We’ve shaved hours (sometimes days) off sprint tasks just by integrating this into our VS Code setups.
Cursor – AI Code Editor With GitHub Sync
Cursor is a new favourite — a sleek AI-assisted editor that plays nicely with GitHub. It supports two-way sync, meaning you can bounce between environments without losing your work.
It also features context-aware suggestions, project-wide search, and even bug resolution prompts. We often pair it with Lovable.dev to bridge the no-code and pro-code gap.
Agentic AI: The Next Frontier
We’re entering an era where AI doesn’t just assist — it acts. That’s the idea behind “agentic” AI. These tools proactively execute tasks, adapt based on input, and orchestrate entire workflows with minimal guidance.
Here are the emerging tools we’re actively testing in-house:
Chai – Conversational Agent Platform
Chai lets us build agents that handle user support, engagement, and even entertainment experiences. Think intelligent chatbots — but with memory, logic, and personality.
We’re exploring its use in customer onboarding and support journeys.
Bolt.dev – Lightweight Automation Framework
Bolt is ideal for developers building microservices and internal tools. It supports agentic workflows and integrations, helping us quickly prototype internal dashboards and task managers.
We’re currently testing Bolt for automating SEO report generation using GA4 + Search Console data.
Replit AI – Full-Stack Agent Support
Replit isn’t just an online IDE anymore. With its AI integration, it can:
- Spin up full-stack apps
- Fix bugs
- Run commands
- Generate boilerplate
For solo devs or lean teams, Replit offers a serious productivity boost — and we’re keeping a close eye on its evolution.
How Apidae Uses This AI Stack in Real Workflows
We’re not here to play around with shiny tools. Every AI product in our stack serves a clear purpose in helping us work smarter.
Creative at Speed
Using ChatGPT, Opus.pro, and Manus.im, we go from ideation to campaign-ready content in hours — not weeks.
Data to Decision
With Gemini, RelevanceAI, and n8n.io, we bridge the gap between insight and action, triggering workflows directly from what we learn.
Creatives That Convert
Lovable, Arcads, and Heygen let us localise, personalise, and scale creative assets across platforms — crucial in a global market.
Sales, Supercharged
With Vapi.ai, we’re generating leads while we sleep — and saving our human team for the highest-value conversations.
A Word From Our CEO
“AI compresses the time from idea to action,” says Clint Griscti, CEO of Apidae Digital, speaking recently at SBC Summit Europe. “For us, AI isn’t just about keeping up—it’s a critical advantage that drives competitive differentiation.”
