🤖 AI-Powered Content Intelligence (Beta)

The future of content strategy is predictive, not reactive. Our new AI-Powered Content Intelligence suite helps you make data-informed creative decisions before publishing.

Content Performance Predictor

Before you post, get AI-driven predictions on how content will perform based on:

• Historical performance of similar content from your library
• Topic trends within your niche and audience demographics
• Optimal posting time recommendations
• Predicted engagement rate, conversion potential, and retention impact
• Audience segment most likely to engage

How It Works: Draft your content title, description, and select format. Our AI analyzes these inputs against your historical data and provides performance predictions with confidence scores.

Topic Opportunity Finder

Stop guessing what to create next. Our AI analyzes:

• Your highest-performing content themes
• Topics your audience engages with but you've underserved
• Trending topics within your niche
• Content gaps competitors haven't filled
• Questions your fans ask most frequently

Get weekly digest of recommended topics ranked by opportunity score (likelihood to perform well + strategic value).

Smart Title & Thumbnail Testing

A/B test titles and thumbnails automatically. Upload 2-4 variations, and our system:

• Shows different versions to different audience segments
• Measures click-through rate and engagement
• Automatically promotes winning variation after statistical significance
• Learns which title/thumbnail styles work best for you

Early Results: Beta testers report 15-30% average increase in engagement using AI recommendations.
