Why Lumen5 Is Essential in the AI Workflow

- Video From Existing Content: You can turn complementary articles like GrammarlyGO for Real-Time AI Editing and Polishing or Frase for Content Briefs and SERP Analysis into engaging summaries.

Limitations

Script Quality Still Matters: AI can’t always judge what’s most compelling; you may need to fine-tune the script manually.
Generic Visuals: Relying solely on the AI’s stock video choices can result in less originality unless manually adjusted.
