Overview
Sprout Social is a social media management and analytics platform designed for brands, agencies, customer care teams, and marketers.

The platform has expanded its AI capabilities through Sprout AI, helping teams generate content, analyze trends, summarize conversations, and uncover actionable insights from social data.
