SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
After a summer of fixes for Threads, Pinterest and TikTok posting failures, SocialBee announced a scheduling overhaul rolling out over the coming weeks. Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.
A landing page builder that turned itself into an agent surface, then started charging for it.
Swipe Pages has spent 2026 converting a conventional landing page builder into an agent-driven one. The AI Agents launch in December 2025 established chat-based page generation; every release since has hardened it — Code Mode with model selection and block locking, AI image generation in-builder, tracking codes and Events API integrations carried over from the classic product. As of July, AI pages have reached feature parity with the hand-built ones on the things that matter commercially: A/B testing, personalization, and cross-subaccount portability.

A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.
SocialBee is simplifying its category-based scheduling model rather than adding to it, consolidating views and removing modes. The promised biweekly, monthly and yearly recurrence suggests scheduling moves toward calendar-style rules instead of category queues.
Expect the recurring-schedule options announced for later this quarter to ship next; the entries don't show anything beyond scheduling.

Two arcs are converging. The first is distribution: Swipe Genie became addressable from outside the product via MCP in April, first on request, then GA across all plans in July — the builder is now something an external agent drives, not just a UI a marketer opens. The second is monetization: AI credits landed on every plan in May as a purchasable, non-expiring unit, which turns generation volume into revenue rather than cost. Bug-fix releases in between are dominated by agent-session plumbing — transcripts, thought signatures, invitee access — the maintenance profile of a product whose core loop is now a conversation.
Expect the credit system to gain the usual second-order machinery — per-subaccount allocation and usage reporting — since subaccount timezone and analytics work is already landing. The MCP surface reaching GA on all plans without a matching pricing line suggests agent-driven publishing is next to be metered.
