Automatic summarization with Typeface: Benefits to explore 

Typeface is a generative AI enterprise marketing platform with summarization capabilities. Our platform automates manual notetaking, creation, personalization, and repurposing, freeing teams across functions from laborious, repetitive tasks to focus more on higher-order tasks. In addition, it enables companies continuously generating internal knowledge to activate and repurpose valuable information currently underutilized in existing databases. Here’s how our platform can help your organization introduce new efficiencies and capabilities.  

Streamline multichannel marketing  

Document Transform converts your existing assets into various marketing materials, including blog posts, press releases, social media posts, sales emails, newsletters, and product descriptions.  

• Enhance product marketing efficiency by encapsulating detailed product specifications into various customer-facing formats (website copy, brochures, emails) without redundant content creation.  

• Breathe new life into archived content by updating and reformatting it for current marketing campaigns or channels. 

• Transform marketing reports and internal knowledge into subscriber-building content like monthly industry reports, educational newsletters, thought leadership articles, or expert commentary that positions your brand as an authority and builds audience loyalty. 

Create more content with fewer resources  

A lack of adequate resources keeps marketers from scaling content for different channels and reaching consumers with timely, personalized content. Add to that a lack of time — a significant barrier to implementing high-performing strategies like video marketing — and running parallel campaigns or doubling down on critical campaigns can be backbreaking. Our platform’s AI summarization and personalization features address these prevalent marketing challenges in no small way.  

• Summarize videos and podcasts 5 to 10x faster compared to manual transcribing and editing to generate marketing collateral at scale  

• Effortlessly adapt a piece of content for different channels, audiences, and formats. 

• Ensure that every post, blog, newsletter, or email condensed and repurposed from core content is tailored to your audience and stays on-brand dynamically with Brand Agent. The summaries our AI generates are distinctive to you and adapt to adjustments in your brand voice and style of creating different types of content.  

Make accessibility improvements 

Brands that plan their content strategy without forgetting the special needs of people with disabilities are more likely to attract a wider audience and give their products or services a fair shot of being perused by more potential buyers. Marketers can leverage AI summarization in these ways to enhance marketing accessibility: 

• Create alternative text formats from audio/video content for hearing-impaired audiences, screen reader compatibility, and situations where audio playback isn't possible. 

• Develop simplified versions of complex content for different cognitive abilities and reading levels.  

• Produce text summaries and transcripts that improve content searchability and allow for quick scanning of information by all users.  

Transform meeting recordings into valuable organizational assets 

With Meeting Blend, you can capture action items, strategic insights, or essential talking points from video or audio files of strategy sessions, cross-functional collaborations, training workshops, product reviews, client debriefs, and stakeholder interviews. Save hours of manual notetaking while creating shareable records of important conversations for enhanced knowledge management, more efficient project and campaign management, stronger team alignment, accessibility and inclusivity for teams in different time zones, and improved communication and transparency across the organization.  

You can even transform recordings into specific marketing assets such as blog posts and follow-up emails, capturing authentic customer language, product insights, and expert perspectives that resonate more deeply with your audience.
