AI Tools for Social Media: Scheduling, Writing, Listening and Influencer Tools

38 tools tracked · 30 active · 8 dead or at risk · Updated September 23, 2026

Social media teams use AI for four jobs: writing and repurposing posts, scheduling them, listening to what people say about the brand, and finding creators to work with.

Features come and go quickly here — Later's AI caption writer and Sprout's AI Assist were retired, and listening companies like Talkwalker were absorbed. This page shows what is still running.
