💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - Few marketing teams can afford to have a large team of social media professionals, but AI can be a super helpful tool to help you maximize resources – especially when seasons get busy. As we head into the chaotic holiday season, Sprout Social has collected some tips on how to make AI your social media assistant, and we’ve summarized them for you below.

💡 Insight - There are a bunch of ways you can lean into AI during these busy end-of-year seasons, and the key is utilizing all the different built-in AI tools of the platforms you’re already on. Here are a few ways to do this:

  • Utilize chatbots via your website and Meta’s platforms to answer user messages and give customers more control. Pre-load some of your common responses and user flows into the chatbot, and let it take the load off of your team.

  • AI-enabled content creation tools within Canva or Adobe can help you create a starting draft of your next visual post. Looking for captions or text-based posts? Have ChatGPT or your favorite chatbot draft captions and suggest relevant hashtags.

  • Feed inspirational sources of data into your favorite chatbot and have it sift through the content to suggest pieces that align with your audience’s interests. This is where AI shines – analyzing large amounts of data quickly.

  • Even social schedulers like Sprout have integrated AI into their platforms by allowing brands to target optimal send times by analyzing past content performance. Make sure you’re posting at the right time!

  • Social tools like Sprout also often use AI to aggregate metrics and help you analyze your performance easily and quickly. Instead of digging through the numbers yourself, let AI automate reporting so you can streamline decision-making during this busy season.
