Platform analytics + AI
What this task is
Social media staff regularly track views, likes, shares and follower growth, work out which content did well and which did not, and write up review summaries.
How AI replaces it
From 2020, platform analytics dashboards became much richer, and AI can now summarize performance patterns and suggest changes. By 2026, routine performance reviews are largely automated.
What stays human
Staff interpret the reasons behind the numbers in light of business goals, decide how to adjust content direction and posting strategy, and explain it to the team.
