Common questions
Can AI run social media accounts on its own?
No, and it shouldn't. It drafts and schedules; a person approves each post, because one off-brand post can cost more than the time saved.
How does AI help with social media reporting?
It turns platform analytics into a readable summary you edit. Take the numbers from the platform itself rather than having AI retype them.
Which tools should a social media manager start with?
A general assistant for copy, a design tool for visuals and a scheduler. Most other tools overlap with these.
