When I started building NY Fact Exchange, I wasn’t just making videos about New York City, I was building a content machine. I used AI not to replace creativity, but to support it, scale it, and protect it from burnout
To do that, I leaned into something that most solo creators and small teams overlook:
AI isn’t just a content tool. It’s an operations engine.
Here’s how I use AI, not to replace creativity, but to multiply it.
🎯 1. Every video starts with a system, not a blank page
Instead of reinventing the wheel for every video, I created AI-assisted templates for:
- Storytelling in two formats (fact-based + narrative)
- SEO blog posts with location tie-ins
- Social captions that are short, punchy, and native to each platform
These aren’t copy-paste prompts. They’re trained around NYFE’s tone, structure, and audience.
Result: What used to take hours of ideation now takes minutes, and stays consistent across platforms.
🗺️ 2. I use AI to power the interactive NYC map, and make it update-ready
The NY Fact Exchange map is more than a visual layer; it’s a content management system in disguise. Using structured data and AI-assisted updates, I can:
- Add new locations in minutes
- Automatically generate YouTube embed code, tags, and categories
- Flag missing metadata and prompt what’s needed
I even use AI to generate neighborhood filters, tag icons, and affiliate buttons that scale as the platform grows.
Result: The map becomes a living content ecosystem, not a static asset.
📦 3. Affiliate marketing? That’s a system…
I use AI to:
- Clean and format Expedia affiliate links for each video location
- Insert them into the map using a centralized expedia.js config
- Track which links are done and where they need to be added
That’s content and revenue growth, built into the same process.
💡 4. Why this matters for any brand or creator
Most content burnout comes from starting from scratch every time. AI can remove the friction without removing your voice.
Whether you’re a startup, a nonprofit, or a one-person media brand, AI can help you create smarter, more scalable systems that serve your audience, and your energy.
It’s not about outsourcing your ideas. It’s about upgrading your workflow.
