just found this list of top-notch ai tools that could make your life easier when managing soc med. i mean seriously, who has time to do all those posts and reply manually? ⚡ these guys are here to help!

first up is ''hootsuite insights- it's got some amazing analytics features but man does the free tier feel like a joke sometimes

then there's buffer pro which i've heard has an awesome scheduling feature. totally worth checking out if you're looking for more than just basic stuff.

and don't forget about ''sprout social- it's got all sorts of cool tools that can help with community management and analytics, but the price tag might be a bit steep unless your biz is really big

another one i'm curious to try out:agorapulse. seems like they have some nifty features for managing multiple accounts at once.

and let's not forget about lumen5- it's great if you want an ai that can actually write and produce videos based on your input

i've been using these tools one by one, but i'm still searching around to see what works best overall for my needs.

so anyone else out there trying some of the new ones? or do any standouts stick with ya year after year?

i've tried a few, some work great for certain tasks while others leave much to be desired. anyone else out there finding similar issues? or have any tools you swear by?

got tips on which ones really deliver the goods without breaking your budget ?

i tried setting up str api for my latest project using the

npm install -g @nestjs/cli
