Manage all comments, DMs, and mentions from one unified inbox
NapoleonCat is an engagement-first tool – with its Social Inbox a true hub for audience engagement. See and respond to all comments and DMs from your social media profiles on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and even Google Business reviews. Assign comments to moderators, exchange notes and feedback, and make moderation and audience engagement an enjoyable task rather than a painful necessity.
Automatically remove spam and hate speech with AI-powered moderation
In NapoleonCat, AI can do some of the moderation for you, so you have time for the important conversations. Your AI Assistant will automatically detect spam and hate in the comments, and it can even trigger Auto-moderation to instantly hide or delete them. While you go about other important tasks.
Build customer profiles and track interaction history with Social CRM
Wish you instantly knew the entire conversation history with a commenter on social media? The Social CRM stores individual profiles of your customers, where you can see their previous interactions with you on other social channels and can leave notes for other moderators. So anyone who replies can do it in a more relevant way.
Get AI-generated reply suggestions for faster, on-brand responses
NapoleonCat’s AI can also help you respond faster, without compromising the quality of your responses. It’ll automatically generate reply suggestions based on your previous responses and the content you provide it, so it has all the right information written in your unique style.
Go beyond scheduling with real engagement and community management tools
Yes, you can schedule your social media content using NapoleonCat’s Publisher, too. But the same subscription gives you many more tools to increase social media engagement and have the conversations sparked by your content – without logging on and off between separate software tools.
Get responsive customer support that replies within minutes, not days
Miss the days when software tools had actual customer support you could contact? Try NapoleonCat – you’ll feel like the good old days when responses were fast and personable, and issues could be solved quickly, without resorting to social media rants.
Build audience engagement on social media with tools that actually help you do it
Here’s why our clients love NapoleonCat
Join businesses that save hours every week with an all-in-one social media management platform
It’s hard to imagine our work without a tool that includes so many valuable features. It won’t be an overstatement when I say that NapoleonCat saves us multiple full-time positions that would be dedicated to just moderating comments or manually generating reports.
NapoleonCat saves up to one-third of a full-time position. That’s time we would otherwise spend manually moderating thousands of comments each month using the Meta Business Suite, profile by profile and comment by comment. Time we can now use for growth. NapoleonCat is the best tool of its kind on the market, and it’s still constantly evolving and improving by introducing new AI features.
It’s the first social media engagement tool we have ever tried that is truly intuitive and that makes it easy for us to include the clients in the process. The service and support is great and personal. And the value for money is great!
We work with multiple clients, and with NapoleonCat, we don’t waste time switching between multiple software tools. We can also deliver reliable data from a single source. We tested other social media moderation and analytics tools before, but none of them lived up to what NapoleonCat delivers. They’re the best, and I personally love using the tool. 🙂
NapoleonCat is now an indispensable tool that we use for moderation and analytical purposes, as well as content publishing. We’re curious to see new capabilities of the tool and test its new uses, for example, to moderate TikTok ad comments, as we predict this social media channel to become more and more important for our clients.
