Hootsuite's AI-native social operating system — four connected apps and a social-first AI agent called Wisdom.

Hootsuite Social OS is a rebuild of Hootsuite's product line into a single AI-native "social operating system," announced on June 24, 2026. Instead of one dashboard, the suite is now four purpose-built apps that share the same data and AI layer: Perch (content creation, planning, and publishing — the classic Hootsuite scheduler), Nest (the social inbox and customer care product), Lumen (social intelligence, combining Talkwalker and Hootsuite Listening), and Parliament (employee advocacy and social selling, formerly Amplify). A fifth app, Vigil, for compliance and governance, was announced as coming soon.
Tying the apps together is Wisdom, which Hootsuite calls a "social-first AI agent." Wisdom consolidates the company's earlier AI tools — OwlyGPT and the Yeti agent — into one agent that runs across every app in the suite. You ask plain-language questions like "what's shaping perception of us this week?" and it returns cited answers grounded in live social data, then can take action: draft and schedule posts in Perch, triage the inbox in Nest, pull intelligence from Lumen. Hootsuite says Wisdom is built on more than 15 years of proprietary social data and over 150 million monitored sources across 187 languages.
Alongside the launch, Hootsuite shipped MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors for Perch, Nest, and Lumen, so external AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot — can pull Hootsuite's social signal directly into their own workflows without logging into the dashboard. Every app is available on a 14-day free trial with no credit card. Hootsuite has historically kept tier prices behind a signup or sales call, so treat any specific price as something to confirm on their pricing page rather than a published number.
One thing to be clear about: Social OS is a management, intelligence, and distribution platform, not a content production studio. Perch schedules and publishes, and Wisdom can draft captions, but the suite does not generate avatar or persona video, cut long-form into clips, or render carousels and branded graphics. It tells you what is happening and helps you ship — the creative assets are assumed to come from somewhere else.
Social OS is strongest at the question Kompozy never tries to answer: what is happening on social right now, and what should you say about it. Lumen and the Wisdom agent read 150M+ sources and hand you a cited brief — "this topic is spiking, your audience is reacting this way, post about it this week." That is a real edge. But Wisdom's answer ends at a caption draft and a scheduled slot in Perch. It does not turn the brief into the dozen finished assets a modern feed actually needs.
That handoff is the Kompozy workflow. Take the angle Wisdom surfaces — even pull it through Social OS's new MCP connector — and drop it into Kompozy as a source. Kompozy generates the production layer Social OS leaves blank: a HeyGen persona or avatar short with burned-in captions, a multi-slide carousel rendered pixel-exact through HyperFrames, quote graphics, a blog draft, a newsletter, and platform-native text posts, all written in your voice through a Persona Brief. Then Kompozy schedules and publishes the set across its nine platforms. In short: Social OS decides what to post and watches how it lands; Kompozy manufactures and ships the assets that make the post. The intelligence layer feeds the production line.
Hootsuite Social OS is an AI-native rebuild of Hootsuite's product line, announced June 24, 2026. It splits the platform into four connected apps — Perch (publishing), Nest (inbox/care), Lumen (intelligence), and Parliament (advocacy) — that share one data and AI layer, with a fifth app, Vigil (governance), coming soon. A social-first AI agent called Wisdom runs across all of them.
Wisdom is Hootsuite's social-first AI agent, which consolidates its earlier OwlyGPT and Yeti tools into one agent that works across every Social OS app. You ask plain-language questions and get cited answers grounded in live social data, and Wisdom can take action like drafting and scheduling posts or triaging the inbox. Hootsuite says it's built on 15+ years of data and 150M+ monitored sources.
No. Social OS is a management, intelligence, customer-care, and publishing platform. Wisdom can draft captions and post copy, but the suite does not generate avatar or persona video, clip long-form footage, or render carousels and branded graphics. Those assets come from a separate creation tool.
Every app offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Hootsuite has historically kept tier prices behind a trial signup or sales call rather than a public number, so confirm current pricing on their site before committing.
Use Lumen and Wisdom to find the topic, then bring that brief into Kompozy — including through Social OS's new MCP connectors. Kompozy generates the assets Social OS doesn't (persona video, carousels, quote cards, blogs, newsletters) in your brand voice and publishes them across nine platforms from one queue.
