Hootsuite today announced the release of Wisdom, a social-first AI agent purpose-built for social and business intelligence. Powered by 15+ years of proprietary social data and more than 150M monitored data sources, Wisdom gives organizations a real-time window into the signals shaping their brand — transforming live social data into contextual intelligence and coordinated action. Social moves fast, and brands need to move faster. More networks, more noise, more pressure, and AI keeps raising the stakes.

Wisdom: Social-First AI Agent

What makes Wisdom different is what it's built on: proprietary social intelligence spanning live social data, historical context, audience behavior, cultural signals, and image detection. That foundation turns intelligence into something organizations can act on in real time. From a single conversation, users can uncover trends, identify risks, create content, and get recommended next steps — all from one connected system. Ryan Holmes, CEO of Hootsuite, stated: "We started Hootsuite to help organizations show up on social. Eighteen years later, the ambition is different: not keeping up, but knowing first. Wisdom is the intelligence layer that finally lets businesses operate at the speed of culture. Today, we're helping customers stop reacting and start anticipating — seeing what social is telling them, understanding what it means, and acting before the moment passes."

Social OS: One Operating System for the AI Era

Alongside Wisdom, Hootsuite is unveiling Social OS, a social operating system with AI at the core — built to keep organizations ahead of social, at the speed it actually moves, across teams of any size. It represents a major evolution of Hootsuite's product experience, bringing social intelligence, publishing, customer care, and advocacy together through a shared agentic layer. Social OS organizes Hootsuite's full portfolio into a set of purpose-built, AI-powered products, each designed for a specific social function: Perch for publishing and planning, Nest for customer care, Parliament for employee advocacy, and Lumen by Talkwalker for social intelligence. Each product stands alone but together they form one interoperable system, with Wisdom as the AI layer that connects them all.

Social Intelligence, Wherever Work Happens

To extend social intelligence beyond the platform, Hootsuite is also launching Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors across Perch, Nest, and Lumen. These connectors allow AI agents to securely access Hootsuite insights and data inside the AI tools and workflows they already use, while enabling external tools and data sources to be brought directly into Wisdom. Hootsuite research found that 64% of senior marketing leaders admit to running AI tools without live social data, highlighting the critical gap that Wisdom addresses.

Governed Data Foundation

Social OS, Wisdom, and Hootsuite's MCP connectors are built on a governed data foundation, with key data sourced through direct API partnerships with the world's largest social networks and designed with enterprise-grade security and compliance in mind. This ensures that organizations can leverage social intelligence with confidence, knowing that data is protected and compliant.
