Neos CMS
Neos is rebuilding how its content repository commits and locks, one 9.2 beta at a time
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Metricool and Swipe Pages — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
A landing page builder that turned itself into an agent surface, then started charging for it.
Swipe Pages has spent 2026 converting a conventional landing page builder into an agent-driven one. The AI Agents launch in December 2025 established chat-based page generation; every release since has hardened it — Code Mode with model selection and block locking, AI image generation in-builder, tracking codes and Events API integrations carried over from the classic product. As of July, AI pages have reached feature parity with the hand-built ones on the things that matter commercially: A/B testing, personalization, and cross-subaccount portability.

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.
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.

Two arcs are converging. The first is distribution: Swipe Genie became addressable from outside the product via MCP in April, first on request, then GA across all plans in July — the builder is now something an external agent drives, not just a UI a marketer opens. The second is monetization: AI credits landed on every plan in May as a purchasable, non-expiring unit, which turns generation volume into revenue rather than cost. Bug-fix releases in between are dominated by agent-session plumbing — transcripts, thought signatures, invitee access — the maintenance profile of a product whose core loop is now a conversation.
Expect the credit system to gain the usual second-order machinery — per-subaccount allocation and usage reporting — since subaccount timezone and analytics work is already landing. The MCP surface reaching GA on all plans without a matching pricing line suggests agent-driven publishing is next to be metered.
