DTC marketers: which AI tools have actually earned a permanent spot in your stack?

I spend most of my week talking to DTC marketers & agencies (from solo founder shops to top-tier) about how they actually operate, and the gap between the tools people demo and the tools they actually keep is bigger than I expected.

The creative and copy generators get all the noise, but lot of them get dropped after a month once the novelty wears off / the team realizes they can integrate those workflows into Claude. What seems to actually stick is less glamorous: certain measurement and attribution tools that earn a daily look, and a couple of retention and lifecycle tools that pay for themselves. Audience-building / targeting is an area I'm less sure about. Many teams still rely entirely on the platforms for it.
