We are a small business who went organically viral in October, I am trying to figure out what is the best app to use for marketing and making videos? Whether it be AI or something else, I would love it to work for Instagram, Facebook, even TikTok. Also any recommendations on a great video editor for ads, I have used Capcut but wondering if there is anything better. Any advice and help is great appreciated! Thanks so much!

Hey creators, founders, and marketers 👋

I’m on the hunt for game-changing AI tools that help speed up and LEVEL UP content creation for service-based businesses (think SaaS, app dev, consulting, coaching, etc.).

Specifically looking for tools that handle things like:

✅ Social media posts (graphics + captions) ✅ Reels / Shorts / TikToks ✅ YouTube videos or voice-over explainers ✅ Bonus: repurpose blogs, tweets, or newsletters into visual/video content

My dream tool would:

Create scroll-stopping visuals or videos in minutes Support multi-platform exports (LinkedIn, IG, YouTube, etc.) Have built-in automation (e.g., turn text → video or idea → carousel) Let me easily add brand colors, fonts, etc. without rebuilding from scratch every time 💬 What are YOU using right now that's actually saving you time and helping you grow? Free or paid, AI or hybrid — I’d love real-world feedback.

If you’ve tested a few tools, feel free to share what worked and what didn’t. I’ll happily share my list once I test some options too!

Thanks in advance 🙏 Let’s build a killer AI stack together 💡

Spent the last two months trying jasper, copy.ai, hootsuite's ai features, later, and blotato because I was tired of spending entire days on social content.

Jasper writes well but it's pricey and you still need to edit everything heavily. Copy.ai has good templates but the output feels samey after a while. Hootsuite's ai stuff is honestly pretty basic, feels tacked on. Later has beautiful templates but if you need video or apis you're out of luck.

Ended up with blotato mostly because it doesn't try to do the writing for you, just handles the reformatting and distribution. Still has some quirks but the video support and api access made sense for what I needed.

Anyone else go through this testing phase? Feels like every tool promises the world and delivers like 60% of it.
