AI tools marketers are actually asked for
Not a listicle. These are the AI tools named in the AI requirements of 526 real marketing job postings, ranked by how often employers name them.
Based on 526 marketing postings · 123 companies (from a dataset of 9,026 postings · 154 companies) · Updated Oct 2026 · How we count →Ranked by postings that name them

Only 24 of 526 marketing postings (5%) name a specific AI tool in an AI expectation. Most just say “AI tools”. Counted from AI-expectation sentences only; company names (like Anthropic) and a vendor's own postings don't count.
The bigger picture
19% of marketing postings ask for AI chat assistants as a category (“generative AI tools”, “AI assistants”, or a named product), far more than name any single product. Employers care that you can use an assistant well; which one usually depends on what your company has approved.
