Do we keep our New Year's resolutions? No, never! But that's no reason not to try. 🥊 Persevering, the We Are COM team shares with you its 10 good AI resolutions for communication!
AI isn't just a tech trend; it's a genuine cultural shift impacting the communications industry. And that definitely warrants some action. 🤖 Et What if 2026 finally became the year when AI truly served your communication needs?
#1 – “This year, I promise, I’m going to sort through my AI tools.”
Why this resolution? To reduce distractions and regain control. In 2026, promise yourself to streamline your tools and keep only 3 at most! 🧹 You've tested AI from every angle, great, now it's time to rationalize for better control, to prioritize quality over quantity.
Our tip for getting started? Conduct a quick audit of your AI usage: which tools do you actually use? Which tools save you time? And conversely, which tools are nice but complicate your life? Then, sort, prioritize, and take action. #LessButBetter
#2 – “This year, I promise, I’m going to create a real prompt library”
Why this resolution? Because you're tired of repeating yourself, or worse, wasting time searching for that awesome prompt from the other day, already lost in the depths of some obscure Google Doc? 💡 This year, you've decided to create a real database of useful prompts. Yes, The prompt library is full of promise.
Our tip for getting started? Why not create a "short guide to shared prompts" as a team? It's always more fun to tackle this together (and to gain efficiency as a group).
#3 – “This year, I promise, I’ll configure the AI to reflect my brand.”
Why this resolution? So that AI-generated content is already calibrated to your editorial guidelines. Brand personality, language elements, tone, preferred phrasing, emojis… 🧰 This year, train the AI and teach it to fully express your brand DNA. The result? More consistent content and, above all, a huge time saving.
Our tip for getting started? Nothing beats a solid foundation! So, feed your AI your best existing content. And train it as if it were a new team member starting out in copywriting. Remember, the more you interact with it, the more relevant your AI becomes.
#4 – “This year, I promise, I’ll challenge AI with my creativity”
Why this resolution? Because AI is good at a lot of things, but definitely not at inventing. Your creative flashes are the superpower of your human brain, so this year let it shine and dare to come up with absurd, bold, conceptual, and improbable ideas. 🤪 In short, be more human than ever.
Our tip for getting started? The more the merrier! The We Are COM team recommends that you carry out some crazy team creativity sessions. Why not introduce an AI-powered version of exquisite corpse? Surprise and amusement guaranteed.
#5 – “This year, I promise, I’ll stop the risky copy-pasting.”
Why this resolution? Because it's dangerous! You should never share confidential data with artificial intelligence. Unless, of course, you have a secure tool in-house. So this year, before brainstorming, you'll check that all the sensitive information you share is properly anonymized – and you'll take the opportunity to raise your team's awareness of the GDPR. 🔒
Our tip for getting started? No tricks, you just have to go for it! This resolution is not an option. Bonus: include a short quiz to test your team's vigilance. #DataSafe
#6 – “This year, I promise, I’m optimizing my industry monitoring with AI.”
Why this resolution? Because staying informed is essential, but so is your mental health. 👀 So, to avoid becoming a copy/paste zombie, this year you've decided to adopt AI for optimized monitoring. No more endless scrolling on social media and 28 tabs open simultaneously: Configure tools for targeted, continuous and enhanced monitoring. In 2026, make way for clever summaries, intelligent alerts and inspiring trend grids.
Our tip for getting started? Of course, AI saves time. But the added value of monitoring is very human. The winning combination? Feedly + ChatGPT + Notion, to summarize. You, to analyze.
#7 – “This year, I promise, I’ll take the time to reflect on the ethical use of AI.”
Why this resolution? Because AI isn't a particularly responsible technology. So, using it is good, but using it accessibly and without abuse is better. ✅ In 2026, take the time, at least once, to truly question the proper uses of these new tools. We, as communicators, have a social responsibility. Pssst AI is a still underutilized lever for inclusion…
Our tip for getting started? It's true that it's a somewhat complicated subject. So, the best thing to do is to start by discussing it. Establish ethical debate sessions on AI. On your own scale, how can you contribute? How can you integrate more diversity into your visuals, more inclusion into your prompts, and more transparency into your content?
#8 – “This year, I promise, I will remain critical of AI, even when it impresses me.”
Why this resolution? Because it's true, sometimes AI leaves us speechless. But beware, behind a perfect turn of phrase can hide fake news… Just because a text is fluid, relevant, or impressive doesn't mean it's accurate. Artificial intelligence loves to fabricate stories. It's up to us, humans, to prevent it. A little research is never a bad thing, especially when it comes to your reputation or that of your brand.
Our tip for getting started? Double-check. 🔮 First, ask the AI to provide its source—yes, even that can be delegated to it. Second, make sure for yourself that everything is true. The robot sometimes hallucinates, but you don't.
#9 – “This year, I promise, I’ll document my AI experiments”
Why this resolution? To build on your experience, progress, and help others progress. Every experience has something to teach us. So this year, take the time to record and share your best discoveries and your worst mishaps. 🗂 And what if you started a new era of AI culture in your communications department?
Our tip for getting started? What works, and what doesn't? Start by creating a shared document to pool everyone's experiences. And if you're short on time, make things more visual by simply sharing screenshots.
#10 – “This year, I promise, I’m really going to train in AI.”
Why this resolution? Because knowing how to use ChatGPT isn't enough. In 2026, Take the time to truly train yourself in artificial intelligence, and while you're at it, train your teams as well.Do you need another reason? Don't let your intern take over by giving you lessons on content generation. #KeepYourHeadHigh
Our tip for getting started? Set up sessions of test and learn As a team, share your best practices, discoveries, and challenges to progress together. 🥐 And bring croissants, because learning is always more enjoyable when you're having a treat!
#BONUS – “This year, I promise, I’m training with the We Are COM Club!”
