Suggestions are pieces of work that AI Marketer (Aim) recommends based on your data, such as a page that’s losing citations, a publication that describes your product incorrectly, or a topic where a competitor leads in visibility. Suggestions appear on Profound’s home page (Workspace > AI Marketer), on the Projects page, and inside each Project. The Suggestions page lists all of them.

​
Types of Suggestions

​
Tasks and Projects

Aim suggests new tasks and Projects. A task Suggestion is one piece of work: refresh a page, pitch a publication, or add prompts to a topic. A Project Suggestion is an initiative with a goal and a set of tasks. A task can belong to a Project or run as a stand-alone chat with Aim. From a stand-alone task chat, ask Aim to start a new Project.
