The best AI tools for social media that we test at the agency

A year ago, a colleague entered the office with enthusiasm: "This is it, AI will replace our jobs!" Today, AI isn't changing our jobs—it's making them brutally better. As an agency that manages 50+ client accounts daily, we've gone from skeptic to addict.

How we fell in love with AI (after the initial drama)

Honestly, the beginning was a disaster. We tested ChatGPT for Instagram captions, got content that sounded like a telemarketer trying to be hip. We thought - this is a hype that will pass.

Plot twist: We didn't give up. Social media marketing has transformed, and so have we. Now AI helps us generate content for clients that gets 340% better engagement.

Content creation tools that save us

Predis.ai – Our main tool for visual content. We set the client's logo, the algorithm creates templates for all platforms. For a fitness client, it creates motivational quotes, for a restaurant, it creates food photos. Working time: 5 minutes instead of 2 hours of struggling with design.

Copy.ai – For post descriptions that don’t sound like a quick Google Translate. The algorithm learns the client’s tone from existing posts. When the client says “too official,” the AI adapts. How to blog like a pro we also use the principles for social networks.

Canva AI – The Magic Design feature is amazing. Create an entire series of posts from a single client photo. Why Canva is a great starter content creation program We have already explained.

These tools allow us to create engaging headlines and visuals that resonate with our target audience, while automating repetitive tasks.

Social media monitoring that catches everything

Brand24 – Our digital guardian. It tracks what people are saying about customers across the internet, analyzes sentiment and sends alerts. He saved us when a client's negative review started going viral on TikTok - we caught it in 20 minutes.

Mentionlytics – Deeper data analysis. A social intelligence advisor provides personalized advice for each brand. For a fashion client, he identified a micro-trend that no one else had noticed.

Meltwater – Large companies use this tool that covers specialized platforms. Reddit, Twitch, even WeChat. When large clients ask for “full coverage”, this is the answer.

Artificial intelligence helps us analyze sentiment and respond faster than ever. Instead of manually reviewing comments, algorithms recognize positive, negative, or neutral reactions.

Smart post planning

FeedHive – Predicts the best posting time for a specific audience. It optimizes LinkedIn for business clients, and Instagram for fashion brands. Performance predictions are frighteningly accurate.

ContentStudio – Ongoing content analyzes trending topics in real time. AI assesses engagement potential before we customize for clients. Plus AI conversation with a library of instructions.

Hootsuite – Old reliable with an AI upgrade. Automatic scheduling now takes into account audience behavior patterns, not just basic timing.

Post scheduling has become a science: artificial intelligence analyzes when followers are most active and adapts content to the interests of different segments of the audience.

Smart chatbots that really help

ManyChat – Instagram and Facebook bots that conduct natural conversations. The restaurant accepts reservations, answers questions about the menu, suggests daily specials. People often don't realize they're talking to a bot.

Chatfuel – For complex customer journeys. E-commerce uses for order tracking and support. Artificial intelligence guides you through the processes step by step.

These chatbots respond to queries in real-time, improving the user experience while reducing the workload of our customer support team.

Analytics that explains the numbers

Sprout Social – AI support does not provide basic “engagement increased 15%”. It says, “post more video content at 7pm for the greatest reach with this demographic.”

Typeface – A brand intelligence platform that organizes all materials and analyzes effectiveness across platforms. For multi-brand clients, an absolute lifesaver.

Predictive analytics help us predict user trends and behavior, enabling proactive campaign adjustments.

Video content that works

Crayon – TikTok and Reels magic. We upload raw content, artificial intelligence edits it according to popular formats. How to make short viral videos It's never been easier.

Lumen5 – Converts blog posts into video content. For clients with a lot of written content, instant video material.

Finding influencers

Influency – Artificial intelligence analyzes fake followers, engagement authenticity, audience overlap. For clients with an influencer budget, a must.

Clear – Deeper demographic analysis. Shows overlaps between the influencer's audience and the client's target groups.

For influencer marketing, we use artificial intelligence to estimate reach, engagement, and relevance for specific brands.

Our actual results

Fitness client: 340% engagement growth after AI-driven content strategy Tech startup: 200% increase in qualified leads through optimized LinkedIn Restaurant: 50% customer service workload reduction thanks to smart chatbots

How we work with artificial intelligence

Hybrid approach – AI for hard work, humans for strategy and creativity. Digital marketing it remains a people-centered discipline.

Combining tools – We combine tools for different phases of work. Predis.ai for visuals, Brand24 for tracking, Sprout for analytics.

Testing protocol – We test each new tool on one client for 30 days before rolling it out.

Personalization that works

Using artificial intelligence, we provide users with an experience tailored to their preferences and past behavior patterns. Algorithmic content recommendations show material that is likely to be relevant to individual users.

What comes next?

Artificial intelligence is developing faster than we can test it. Trends on social networks are becoming increasingly algorithm-driven.

Cross-platform orchestration is the future – a single tool that manages all channels, adjusts content in real-time and optimizes performance automatically.

Artificial intelligence has not replaced our work. It has made it smarter, more efficient, and more results-oriented. Those who are still waiting for “the situation to calm down” are missing out on golden opportunities.

The game has changed. The question is, are you ready for the new rules?
