The backstory
FeedHive is a social scheduler that shipped AI early, offering caption writing plus conditional posting rules that trigger follow-ups based on how a post performs. Shipping AI first turned out to be the trap: the caption drafting it charged for is now the free baseline in every chatbot. It's WOUNDED because the scheduling, analytics, and conditional automation still do real work, but the headline AI feature no longer justifies the price on its own.
