Here we go again with our annual review.
The failure to mention “AI” a few times each day might lead to dire consequences—even Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, mentioned “AI” 27 times in his 15-minute keynote ✨ Setting jokes aside, 2023 is marked as the year of AI, and whether fortunately or unfortunately, 2024 and subsequent years will continue to be dominated by its power. It seems we cannot escape the influence of AI any longer.
Numerous tech giants integrated ChatGPT-powered AI into their products. Sometimes, it felt like a gold rush. The integrations set off a PR explosion. Marketing is buzzing with fresh stories to tell, sales are pumped about the AI boost, and the CEOs are ready to shout about how they transformed into an AI-first company. But what about the end user’s life? Anything changed?
However, AI integrations have not always been proven to improve the quality of the user experience. Often, we see cases of AI-integrated features fading out and failing to bring anticipated value. Focusing on end users’ problems and goals shapes product success paths. Thus, we at Sociality.io have deliberately decided to be cautious of trends and observe market needs.
As a social media management product, we are continuously looking for opportunities to implement AI by improving the lifecycle quality of our users. And the intention is to implement it thoughtfully by understanding where automation is needed.
For the entire year, we shipped almost daily—from tiny updates and minor bug fixes to new feature releases. We’re not slowing down in 2024! I can’t wait to see how gradually we’ll build a product that adapts and predicts ongoing changes happening in the social media marketing field.
