Flowerplot Launches AI Data Storytelling Platform
Flowerplot, a new AI data storytelling platform, launched to help marketers transform survey data into content. A survey conducted by Flowerplot reveals that 80% of professionals have collected survey data for marketing content that was never published, largely due to the time and complexity of data analysis. The survey also found that 37% of companies spend between $150,000 and $500,000 annually on market research. Flowerplot aims to streamline this process by allowing marketers to manage, analyze, visualize, and publish survey data with its AI agent 'Dot'. Early adopters include marketing teams at Rippling, Knak, Triple Whale, Wistia, and SuperOffice. The platform was founded by Katherine Boyarsky and Gabriela Pinto, who also run Datalily, a content marketing studio.

Blotato Launches Analytics to Close AI Agent Feedback Loop
Blotato launched built-in social media analytics accessible via its API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents that publish posts can read real performance data and feed results back into their prompts. The analytics report views, reach and engagement and surface top-performing posts inside a new Published page with 'All' and 'Top Performing' tabs plus time-series snapshots. At launch analytics cover five platforms (X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky); TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and LinkedIn are on the roadmap. The company says data accumulates from the day a user enables the feature, that coverage and latency will be refined, and that about a third of new API signups now come through MCP with the largest share connecting Blotato to Claude. Sabrina Ramonov, Blotato founder, is quoted describing the closed-loop capability.
