The backstory
SocialPilot is an agency-oriented social tool built for bulk scheduling, multiple clients and white-label reporting. It bundles an AI assistant into the price, and that assistant now competes with free chatbots for captions and copy. SocialPilot is wounded on the AI layer, but its bulk scheduling, client management and cost-effective seats for agencies still hold up, so the operational tooling remains the reason to pay while the AI piece gets commoditized.
