The backstory
Taplio helps people grow on LinkedIn with post drafting, scheduling, a content library and audience analytics. The AI drafting is now commodity, ChatGPT writes a LinkedIn post just as well for free, which pressures that part of the pitch. It's wounded because the writing feature is easily replaced, though Taplio's real value survives in the lead database, engagement tracking and scheduling built specifically around LinkedIn, things a general chatbot doesn't provide. The moat is the data and workflow, not the copy.
