About Sociopilots
Sociopilots is an open-source AI platform for social media intelligence—built for teams that don't want vendor lock-in. Founded in 2024 by Sakthivel, Sociopilots combines enterprise-grade AI with transparent, open-source code. Teams can batch-schedule posts with intelligent timing, automatically add first-comments, manage unlimited accounts, and access predictive analytics—all on their own servers.
Sociopilots challenges the SaaS vendor lock-in model by combining open-source transparency with AI intelligence. The platform offers transparent, honest pricing ($0-$15/month/channel), self-hosting for complete data ownership, and open-source code (AGPL) so every team can audit, customize, and contribute to the platform.
500+ teams already use Sociopilots to save time, scale their social media, and escape vendor dependency. Early results include agencies saving 20+ hours per week, creators growing to 50k followers via consistent posting, and marketing teams increasing content output by 40%.

Founder Bio
Sakthivel
Founder & CEO, Sociopilots
Sakthivel is a full-stack developer and open-source advocate focused on building tools that escape vendor lock-in. He founded Sociopilots to solve a problem he experienced firsthand: teams trapped in expensive SaaS platforms with no way out.
Sakthivel believes open-source is the antidote to SaaS pricing increases and feature gatekeeping. His vision for Sociopilots is a world where social media teams have choices: self-host for complete control, use managed hosting for convenience, or contribute to the open-source project directly.
When not building Sociopilots, Sakthivel writes about open-source business models, bootstrapped SaaS, and building in public on X and LinkedIn.
