15 Game-Changing AI Tools For Social Media And Content Creation
When it comes to social media management, generative AI tools can be hugely useful for helping with planning and scheduling, as well as automating routine elements of content creation.
In fact, there are literally hundreds of platforms, tools, and applications out there that are designed to help amateurs and professionals execute engaging and follow-worthy social campaigns.
Here's my pick of some of the best, ranging from social posts and video generators to scheduling and natural-language analytics platforms. They're all designed to help make social media fun again by taking care of the busy work while you get creative.
CapCut
CapCut is hugely popular among content creators and influencers because it lets anyone create, edit and share videos in a very simple way. It also has powerful generative AI features, including options for brainstorming ideas, automating SEO captions, generating custom avatars and even instantly creating AI videos from a script. Influencers love it because they can do all of this from their phone, but social media pros have also made it a favorite thanks to its advanced video editing features and functionality.
Canva Magic Studio
Canva was already widely used by social media managers and content creators but has become even more useful since it launched Magic Studio. This is a suite of tools specifically designed to automate and simplify social content workloads. Magic Write and Magic Media create text and images for your posts from prompts, and if you're working across different channels and networks, everything can be reformatted and repurposed with a simple command. Its collaborative approach to working means it is great for teams, too,
Buffer
This is another tool that's fantastic for those who need to republish content across many different networks. Focusing on the management of ongoing campaigns, its AI Assistant function is designed to brainstorm ideas and instantly re-write content for different tones and different audiences. It's built on OpenAI technology, so language processing is sophisticated and accurate, and the user interface is super simple and easy for anyone to get to grips with. Buffer has been a favorite tool of social media managers for some time, and now, thanks to genAI, it's more useful than ever.
ContentStudio
This is another powerful all-in-one social content platform that integrates solutions for crafting, scheduling and analyzing social posts. Its AI assistant is fine-tuned to create posts and captions that encourage engagement. There are a fair few tools that do this sort of thing now, but what makes ContentStudio one of the best is its user-friendly single-dashboard approach that lets users jump straight into creating AI-powered campaigns across major social platforms. A new feature called ContentPen also promises to let users generate blogs tailored to fit their brand voice.
Adobe Express
Adobe has long been an industry leader when it comes to building tools for digital creatives. Today, thanks to AI, literally anyone can be a digital creative, and Express (formerly known as Spark) is Adobe's attempt to capture this enormous new market.
Express is a very polished and well-featured product that lets users jump straight into just about any digital design task, but it's particularly suited to small businesses or independent content creators. It uses Adobe's powerful proprietary Firefly generative AI models for text and image generation. An additional benefit for business users is that these models are exclusively trained on content that Adobe owns the rights to, heading off any potential future problems that might pop up around IP use.
The Best Of The Rest
That's far from all there is when it comes to generative AI tools for social media management and content. Here's a rundown of some of the other top choices:
Anyword
Automate copy generation and performance analytics.
Contlo
A generative AI-native e-commerce marketing platform for business users.

Figma's IPO stunned Wall Street, now a quiet $42B move hints what's next
Figma's (FIG) IPO wasn't just huge; it effectively torched the playbook. A massive 50% first-day pop in the current stock market was remarkable, and in many ways, it has supercharged the IPO market. That kind of breakout rarely goes unnoticed, especially not by a design giant quietly sitting on a whopping $42 billion private valuation. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Though it hasn't yet pulled the trigger on an IPO, fresh investor demand and in-house share sales show that the wheels are turning. Hence, Figma cracked open the IPO window, and another heavyweight is getting ready to push through with purpose. Image source: Bloomberg/Getty Images An IPO is essentially a company's big debut, when a private business looks to tap into the public market, letting anyone buy shares. It's the moment the doors open and the public can get in on the action. However, IPOs aren't always smooth rides. Early trading could be volatile, especially as the stock's price is based on demand expectations, not on a trading history. Related: Top tech stock analyst revamps AI 'buy' list For this reason, shares are typically limited with a tight float, and hype can lead to day-one "flipping," where early buyers sell swiftly to lock in quick gains. Add in future lock-up expirations (typically 90 to 180 days post-IPO), and you get more waves ahead as insiders jump ship. The "3-day rule" isn't law, but it's common wisdom whereby you let the stock settle for a few sessions before jumping in. Australia-based Canva just launched a new employee share sale, which effectively takes its valuation to a massive $42 billion, up from $32 billion in 2024 (a sharp 30% bump). The offer, which its management deems "significantly oversubscribed," has attracted healthy demand from top-tier institutional investors, including Fidelity and JPMorgan Asset Management. For perspective, this isn't Canva's first run at a liquidity event. It facilitated a $1.5 billion secondary sale last year with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, but this time opted to run the deal in-house, signaling growing financial maturity.

Also, its co-founders have maintained that an IPO will come "at the right time." Canva at a glance Canva is an incredibly popular browser-based design platform built for non-designers and professionals alike. Canva's popular, easy drag-and-drop tools handle everything from Instagram posts to pitch decks. And now, with a shot of AI with tools like Magic Design and Magic Edit, it has become a must-have for teams, startups, and solo creators alike. It currently boasts 40 million monthly active users (220 million monthly visitors) with $3.3 billion in annualized sales, along with a deep penetration across global enterprise clients. After a couple of sluggish years, the U.S. IPO window is officially on the comeback trail in 2025. We've already seen 137 deals, which is inching close to last year's full count of 150, with proceeds sitting at $22.6 billion, steady with last year. What's got people excited isn't just volume, but also quality. Bigger deals, valued at $100 million plus, are popping 19% on day one, the best stretch since 2020. Moreover, Q2 IPOs have surged 16% year-over-year, pulling in $8.1 billion, as healthy momentum builds into Q3, with tariff noise cooling off somewhat. Three IPOs have effectively done most of the heavy lifting in 2025. First up, we have Nvidia-backed CoreWeave (CRWV) , which has raised about $1.5 billion at a $23 billion valuation in March and turned out to be the biggest raise of the year, even with terms dialed back. Then we had Figma in July, pulling in $1.22 billion with a monster software debut, which lit up interest in high-growth tech.

Collectively, you've got AI infrastructure, flagship SaaS, and crypto plumbing, drawing tremendous investor heat, despite a tricky investing environment. Figma's IPO was wild, to say the least. The browser-based design juggernaut hit Wall Street on July 31, 2025, and came out swinging for the fences. Priced at $33, it opened at an eye-catching $85, closing out Day One at $115.50, a monster 250% pop. To be fair, Figma had the numbers to back the hype, boasting $749 million in sales last year, up 48% year-over-year, with 13 million monthly users. Also, it posted a clean $45 million Q1 profit, shaking off one-time losses from its scrapped Adobe deal. The stock has cooled off since then, sitting at around $69.40 currently, but that's still +110% above the IPO price.
