    It's helpful for top of marketing funnel writing that we can sometimes lose sight of because we are so ingrained in the product day to day. Contently is also helpful for long written pieces and ebooks that will take a significant amount of employee time to put together. I avoid using Contently for mid to bottom funnel marketing writing because my team will often have greater insight into the product function or use-case or product release, making them more adroit to the tone of the written piece and able to produce the content quickly.

    For starters, most enterprise-grade organizations and Customers struggle to align their current IT estate and landscape with fast-moving, agile, AI-driven automation and development initiatives. All tooling, governance, structure, and frameworks available to support and facilitate the incorporation of this new but still cross-system technology layer are essential to minimize the risks of data leaks, unauthorized access, unbridled token consumption, and other issues. For some businesses and organizations with a handful of systems or a smaller footprint, the platform could be a bit too complex.

    • New and improved natural language processing yielding better results helps the assistants understand the intention behind the query.
    • Preserves context of communication, allowing the customers to establish inquiries on the website and continue on the mobile app without having extra informational input.
    • Intelligent conversations mean that complex paths that are branched based on the user's inputs allow for a much more natural flow of the conversation than fixed scripts.

    Cons
    Contently
    • I have been using it for 3.5 years, and have had no response from potential clients.
    • The portfolio section is pretty easy to use, but I don't love the format.
    • Since I'm not a client, I don't know just how easy it is for them to find new freelancers or how often it is actually used.
    • Probably more suited for some types/concentrations of freelance writers, like finance, tech, or healthcare.

    • I think that it needs to be able to integrate better with the knowledge catalogs. It currently provides a default database, which isn't quite large enough for enterprise use. We can connect that then to an external source, but it'd be nice if we could able just to instantiate one straight away.

    With the growing use of AI and chatbots, it's very easy to use, and the conversational language makes it easier than keyword searches in a document. The contextual language processing is impressive. It's easy to integrate into our internal portal. The use of this tool would depend on each company's security and data sensitivity.

    Support Rating
    Contently
    I'm giving them a 10, but honestly, I've never reached out to them. I do see them putting out regular content on social media, so they might be responsive to questions there as well as regular customer support. In their posts and communication, they do seem to value their community, so hopefully, they have good customer support. And I've seen them asking for pitches from their community to publish well-paid articles during this stressful coronavirus time, and I really appreciate that.

    We've rarely had to engage support, but they've always been prompt in responding and very attentive. Support experiences have been extremely positive (but we're mostly happy that we just don't have any cause to routinely need support in the first place!).

    I also opened an account with Skyword in 2019, which is a similar service. The person that recommended it was a travel writer, and since I've done that as well, I thought it might be a better fit. To this point, I've received no work from it either, and don't hold out a lot of hope. As previously mentioned, where I think Contently does well is by giving you an online portfolio, additional resources like a blog for learning, and a rates database for publications.

    Strong ITSM and HR workflow automation with governance, ServiceNow excels in IT/HR but lacks flexibility for cross-departmental use cases such as demand planning, finance close, or procurement analytics. Orchestrate supports a broader set of enterprise functions beyond IT service automation. So, watsonx is a better approach than any other available tool in the market as of now, based on the use cases I've encountered and my efforts to understand the essence of the service.

    • As a very small team WxO give us more time back and handles manual tasks.
    • WxO helps us reduce manual errors (and the time it takes to find and resolve.)
    • WxO, as a task scheduler and reminder system, helps us not forget certain key events with time-dependent requirements.
