72 Instagram is piloting an AI-powered assistant that suggests caption edits to improve clarity, tone, and engagement—giving creators a new tool to optimize their posts in real time. Instagram is giving creators a new kind of creative partner—an AI caption coach. The platform began testing a feature that uses artificial intelligence to help users write better captions by offering real-time suggestions for tone, structure, and engagement potential. The tool analyzes a draft caption and provides contextual feedback based on platform trends, audience behavior, and best practices. For example, it might recommend shortening a sentence, adding a call to action, or adjusting the tone to match the creator’s typical voice. Instagram says the AI Caption Coach is designed to “enhance, not replace” the creator’s voice. It’s trained on anonymized engagement data and leverages Meta’s large language models to surface suggestions that align with the user’s audience and content category. The feature is currently being tested with a small group of creators in the U.S. and India. Early feedback suggests that users appreciate the editorial-style guidance, especially when posting branded content or trying to drive specific actions like comments or shares. This move reflects a broader trend across platforms: using AI to augment creator workflows without compromising authenticity. If successful, the Caption Coach could become a staple in Instagram’s content toolkit—especially for creators looking to scale their output without sacrificing quality.
