The backstory
Loomly differentiated on inspiration: trending topics, post ideas, and a calendar with approval flows. Idea generation is now the single most commoditised thing a language model does. What is left is the approval workflow and the calendar, which is a decent small-team product but a much smaller pitch than the one Loomly was sold on.
