Feed Lately a blog post, and AI generates 20 social media snippets. Feed it a podcast transcript, and it produces Instagram carousels. Feed it a webinar recording, and out come LinkedIn posts. Clever AI that transforms long-form into short-form efficiently. But here is the catch for dental practices and home service businesses: you need long-form content to feed the AI. No blog posts? No podcasts? No webinars? Then Lately's repurposing engine has nothing to repurpose. The input is missing, making the transformation irrelevant.
TL;DR
Lately transforms existing content into social posts. Service businesses need content created first. The Webevo platform creates original content through AI, repurposes automatically, and connects everything to SEO, CRM, and voice AI.
The Input Problem
Lately's AI needs input: blog posts, podcasts, videos, or webinar recordings. The quality of social snippets depends entirely on the quality and quantity of input content. A MedSpa with zero blog posts and zero podcasts has nothing to transform. Lately becomes an empty tool waiting for content that nobody creates.
The Webevo platform solves the input problem by creating the content. AI generates blog posts optimized for SEO, creates social content calibrated to each platform, and publishes everything automatically. No input dependency. No content creation bottleneck. Compare: Jasper, Writesonic, Buffer, Hootsuite.

Social Media Scheduling Is Not Growth Marketing: Social media management tools schedule posts and track engagement. But for service businesses, social media engagement does not directly generate appointments. Voice AI answering calls at midnight does. Reviews building to 4.8 stars does. SEO ranking for high-intent keywords does. Social media supports growth. It does not drive it.
Lately solves step 3 (repurpose) of a 10-step content lifecycle. The Webevo platform handles all 10 steps.
When Lately Makes Sense
Lately fits content-rich organizations: companies producing weekly podcasts, regular blog posts, monthly webinars, and video content. If your marketing team creates 5+ pieces of long-form content weekly and needs efficient repurposing into social media, Lately's AI transformation is genuinely valuable.
For law firms, dental practices, and service businesses with zero existing content to repurpose — Lately solves the wrong problem. Create first, then repurpose. The Webevo platform does both through AI.
