Generic AI content or expert content that stalls: the B2B AI search choice
Keith Boswell has watched B2B teams try both. Here’s what happened.
A buyer, typing into an AI answer engine
Your experts have answers your buyers need.
We find the questions search and AI answers miss, interview the specialist who knows, and turn one conversation into articles, social, sales material and video. Your team approves everything before it goes out.
One 20-minute conversation. At least nine finished pieces.

“…when the expert still owns it, and their ownership is what’s getting it out the door.”
Can AI write the content your company needs for AI search? Keith Boswell on what he’s seen happen with both.
From our own interviews
In 40 seconds
How one interview becomes the answer
A buyer’s question, the gap in today’s answers, a 20-minute conversation, and the work that comes out of it.
Why now
Search has changed
Buyers check AI answers against human experts.
Be the answer they find.
The problem
The expertise exists.
It’s locked in your experts’ heads.
“I was trying to get people to participate and ran up against some significant walls … this is … a very sticky area when it comes to that kind of (content production) stuff.”
“I’ve been there too many times. We run out of steam. We run out of ideas.”
- 01Topics come from the same keyword tools your competitors use.
- 02Your experts never find time to write. One article means weeks of chasing, and momentum stalls.
- 03Sharing tools push canned posts, not your experts’ own thinking.
Gap identification
We find the gaps in what search and AI tell your buyers.
Not just which topics. What today’s search results and AI answers miss, so your expert knows exactly what to add.
01 The questionFrom our own research
Can AI write the content a B2B company needs to show up in AI search?
ChatGPT says“Yes. AI can write much of the content a B2B company needs.” It cites Google’s and OpenAI’s own guidance.
Gap foundNo one who has watched both approaches play out inside a B2B company.

02 Interview excerptKeith Boswell, Cyberdelic
“The biggest mistake people consistently make about using experts is they believe they already know the questions to ask.”
“We might get a few pieces for a few weeks, maybe a few months. … it just never seemed to work.”
“When an outsider seeks an interview with a subject matter expert for external promotion and communication with buyers, it takes on a much more personal tone.”
Editorial approval
The expert approves every sentence attributed to them. The team approves the package.

Generic AI content or expert content that stalls: the B2B AI search choice
When a B2B company stops showing up in AI search, its marketing leader can generate more with AI or try to get the company’s experts’ knowledge into it. Keith Boswell covers what he has seen happen with both.
Key takeaways
- Generic AI content repeated what had already been said.
- Experts asked to write deliver for a few weeks, then stall.
- Expert content lasts when the expert still owns it.
