If you could build an indestructible, emotionless, laser-focused clone of yourself, you would. You'd assign it all the tedious, soul-draining tasks that block you from doing what truly lights you up: the strategic, innovative work that fuels real change.

At DolFinContent’s Infinite Horizons AI Summit, our team explored how marketing and creative leaders can effectively "clone" themselves using AI to eliminate the weight of operational tasks. On the advice of Eliott Wahba, CEO of DolFinContent, we uncovered practical steps that allow creatives and marketers to build their operational doubles—and finally focus on what matters most.

  • The Drain of Administrative Work
  • Understanding AI and Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • Actionable AI Use Cases for Creatives & Marketers
  • Let Your AI Clone Handle the Grunt Work
  • Unlocking New Possibilities with AI

The Drain of Administrative Work

You know the feeling: bogged down in repetitive admin work that leaves you drained.
Eliott Wahba emphasized that AI can be your most valuable ally, automating the grind so you can unleash creativity and strategy where they belong.

"Busywork is a slow death for creativity," Wahba said. "It’s not just tedious—it slowly erodes our energy and passion."

Creativity gets blocked for two main reasons:

  • Overcommitting time to administrative tasks
  • Constant interruptions that fracture focus

AI as a Creative Ally

Wahba’s view is simple and powerful: AI isn’t replacing creators. It’s elevating them. It’s a modern equivalent to the patronage that once supported the likes of Monet or Tesla—except now, instead of wealthy benefactors, we have tech.

"Deep work is essential for true creativity. Once interrupted, it takes about 23 minutes to fully regain focus," he explained, underscoring the importance of protecting attention.

Understanding AI and LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are at the heart of this AI transformation.
These models can manage:

  • Summarizing lengthy documents
  • Proofreading articles and proposals
  • Drafting press releases, detailed emails, and social posts

"A massive chunk of a content creator’s day—up to 48%—gets eaten up by non-creative tasks like document organization, reporting, and scheduling," Wahba noted.

The future is clear: AI helps buy back that lost time.

Actionable AI Use Cases for Creatives & Marketers

Here’s how DolFinContent recommends you start building your operational clone.

1. Automate Email Workflows

Emails are relentless. AI can manage your inbox with elegance.

Ways to automate:

  • Draft responses in a friendly, professional tone
  • Summarize long email chains into a quick brief
  • Schedule follow-ups based on key triggers

"Frequent pings from notifications destroy our ability to enter flow states," said Wahba.
Minimizing these interruptions with AI means deeper, more impactful work.

2. Organize Rote Project Tasks

Using AI integrations with tools like Trello, Monday.com, and Airtable, you can delegate project management grunt work.

Examples include:

  • Turning messy notes into structured spreadsheets with task lists, priorities, and timelines
  • Automatically syncing tasks to your favorite project management software

"Tell the AI: Convert my event notes into a slide deck with clear H1, H2, and body copy," Wahba suggested.

3. Simplify Social Media Management

Social media is essential but time-consuming. AI tools like Buffer and CoSchedule can handle much of the heavy lifting.

Ideas:

  • Build a full content calendar with 70% educational posts and 30% promotional
  • Schedule posts strategically around audience habits
  • Auto-generate trending post ideas relevant to your industry

AI ad generators can also help draft multiple versions of ad copy for faster testing and refinement.

4. Draft Winning Proposals

Proposal writing can be tedious, but AI simplifies it.

You can:

  • Create custom proposals based on your template and client needs
  • Maintain a consistent, professional tone across all proposals
  • Ask AI to suggest add-ons that could strengthen your offer

"Use prompts like: Write a service proposal for a fintech company struggling with customer churn, based on these services," Wahba advised.

5. Create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Building clear SOPs is critical to scaling your operational clone.

Use tools like Loom and Grain to record processes, then transcribe them for AI to turn into a clean SOP document.

"If you want your workflow cloned, you have to document it first," said Wahba.

Apps like RescueTime can also help analyze where your time goes, identifying bottlenecks AI could relieve.

6. Level Up with Advanced Automation

Want even deeper automation?
Tools like Make (formerly Integromat) and Pabbly Connect link multiple apps without coding.

Example workflows:

  • New lead in CRM ➔ Automated Slack alert to sales team
  • New event registration ➔ Immediate personalized email sent

"Automation is the bridge between dreaming big and executing efficiently," Wahba stated.

7. Build a Custom AI Assistant

Custom GPTs are a game-changer.

You can:

  • Train one to match your brand tone exactly
  • Personalize customer service responses
  • Draft blog posts, emails, and landing pages aligned with your voice

"Each client deserves a custom experience. Custom GPTs let you build it," Wahba explained.

Be sure to refine your prompts—it’s essential to getting the right results.

8. Implement an AI Chief of Staff

At the highest level, create an AI system that acts like a business manager.

Connect Notion, ClickUp, or Coda to AI tools:

  • Manage strategic goals
  • Track project milestones
  • Analyze business performance

"Set up an AI that you can ask: What’s my priority this week? Where am I lagging? Where am I ahead?" Wahba shared.

The goal isn’t just to automate tasks—it’s to create an ecosystem that elevates your decision-making.

Let Your AI Clone Handle the Grunt Work

Eliott Wahba’s roadmap empowers marketing and creative leaders to offload the operational burden to AI.

Start small:

  • Automate your inbox.
  • Build structured SOPs.
  • Introduce automation into task management.
  • Scale up to custom GPTs and AI chief-of-staff systems.

"Take a week to reset your workflows. No deadlines, just experiment and optimize," Wahba recommended.
The payoff? More creativity, less burnout, and a sharp focus on meaningful work.

Reclaim your creativity, your energy—and your future.
