What it does
Hootsuite OwlyWriter AI is an AI caption writer built into Hootsuite, a social media scheduling and management platform. It drafts social media post captions, including turning an existing blog post or link into a ready-to-schedule caption, and can generate several caption variations for a user to choose from. A team already scheduling posts in Hootsuite gets the drafting help without switching tools. It is included with Hootsuite's paid subscription plans rather than sold separately.
Where it can help
This fits a social media team already using Hootsuite to schedule and manage posts, since it adds drafting help without a new subscription. It is a lighter-weight tool than a dedicated content platform like Jasper, focused on short social captions rather than long-form content. Teams not using Hootsuite for scheduling should not adopt it just for this feature, since it is bundled with the platform.
