AI CMO

Your marketing co-founder who gets your product and executes on its own.

AI CMO is an open-source marketing companion that runs inside Claude Code. It analyzes your product, generates a tailored marketing strategy, breaks it into actionable tasks, and helps you execute them — all in your authentic voice.

Built for indie hackers, vibe coders, and bootstrap teams who can build anything but dread marketing.

Install

BASH

git clone https://github.com/m-akiyoshi/ai-cmo.git
cd ai-cmo

Open Claude Code and type /cmo-kickoff. That's it.

Three commands. That's all.

Command	What it does
`/cmo-kickoff`	Full marketing workflow: product analysis, personas, voice, strategy, tasks, launch plan, then flows into execution
`/cmo-help`	"What should I do next?" — picks up where you left off, recommends next action, flows into execution
`/cmo-task-guide`	Break down any marketing task into a step-by-step guide with channel-specific advice

What it does

Run /cmo-kickoff and in 30 minutes you'll have:

Product analysis — AI CMO understands your product from a URL or description
Customer personas — realistic personas based on your actual audience
Your authentic voice — import your writing or pick a preset so content sounds like you, not AI
Marketing strategy — channel-by-channel plan with reasoning for WHY each channel fits your product
Actionable tasks — prioritized list with "this week" tasks that feel doable, not scary
Launch schedule — day-by-day plan across your chosen channels

Then the tool flows directly into execution — writing tweets, Reddit posts, and step-by-step guides for every task.
