What is Metricool?

Metricool stops measuring social media and starts closing sales inside it.

Flows launched on 1 September: a keyword typed into an Instagram comment, DM or Story reply triggers up to three personalised replies, each automation carrying its own stats on sends, interactions and click-through. Instagram and TikTok are live, X follows in the coming weeks. It sits in a Flows tab inside the Planner, free for an initial period and then a paid add-on on the Starter and Advanced plans. Around it the feed remains what it has been — SEO content on AI agents, platform news, and how-to guides — with the real product signal arriving under named formats like the monthly Product Updates digest.

What is Sleeknote?

Sleeknote puts a data-grounded chat agent on a popup builder that had no AI surface at all.

Sleeknote builds on-site campaigns for e-commerce marketers — popups, teasers, and a family of gamified formats — and the visible history is steady builder work: a Rule.io connection with field mapping, teaser persistence rules, gradient styling, a winner-picking tool. In August it shipped Sidenote, a chat agent inside the dashboard that answers questions about campaign performance from the account's own data. That is the first AI surface anywhere in the twenty entries on record, and it arrived in beta. The same feed carries webinar and inspiration-page promotion alongside the product notes, so the posting rate runs well ahead of the shipping rate.

7.5

Metricool stops measuring social media and starts closing sales inside it.

◆ Current state

Flows launched on 1 September: a keyword typed into an Instagram comment, DM or Story reply triggers up to three personalised replies, each automation carrying its own stats on sends, interactions and click-through. Instagram and TikTok are live, X follows in the coming weeks. It sits in a Flows tab inside the Planner, free for an initial period and then a paid add-on on the Starter and Advanced plans. Around it the feed remains what it has been — SEO content on AI agents, platform news, and how-to guides — with the real product signal arriving under named formats like the monthly Product Updates digest.

◆ Where it's heading

Two launches in seven days have changed what this product is for. Studio, in the August digest, automated the reporting end; Flows automates the conversion end. Between them the tool covers plan, publish, measure, report and now sell, which is the full loop an agency runs — and each new piece has arrived with its own pricing attached rather than folded into existing plans. The SEO output has been trailing this for months, running AI-agent and automation explainers well ahead of any automation actually shipping.

◆ Prediction

X is named for the coming weeks and the free period is explicitly temporary, so the next moves are that rollout and the add-on's pricing landing on Starter and Advanced. Whether Flows gets the reporting depth Studio has is not addressed.

6.3

Sleeknote puts a data-grounded chat agent on a popup builder that had no AI surface at all.

◆ Current state

Sleeknote builds on-site campaigns for e-commerce marketers — popups, teasers, and a family of gamified formats — and the visible history is steady builder work: a Rule.io connection with field mapping, teaser persistence rules, gradient styling, a winner-picking tool. In August it shipped Sidenote, a chat agent inside the dashboard that answers questions about campaign performance from the account's own data. That is the first AI surface anywhere in the twenty entries on record, and it arrived in beta. The same feed carries webinar and inspiration-page promotion alongside the product notes, so the posting rate runs well ahead of the shipping rate.

◆ Where it's heading

Shipped changes land roughly monthly and each one removes a manual limit for a campaign operator rather than deepening the platform. Sidenote points the work at a different layer: instead of adding another campaign format, Sleeknote has started interpreting the results of the formats customers already run. The gamification arc — wheels, scratch cards, quizzes, and now lesson-based rewards — gives that agent a widening set of campaign types to reason about, and the seasonal content push suggests the holiday quarter is where the company expects both to be tested.

◆ Prediction

The clearest next move is Sidenote leaving beta with more prescriptive output — suggested campaign changes rather than answers to questions — timed to the November-December season the webinar and Seasonal Calendar page are both preparing for. Whether the agent eventually gets write access to campaigns or stays advisory is not something these entries settle.
