Short-form video is now 68% of all social media engagement — and AI is the only way to keep up

New platform data shows short-form video now dominates engagement across Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. The businesses keeping pace are using AI to clip, caption, and schedule — not hiring video teams. This week we'll cover the exact stack making that possible.

We close the week where we said we would — with something concrete you can use. Today you get the one-page AI policy template.
