• Prospecting audit reports: Add-on — A shareable business-health snapshot built from a single read of a prospect's own public homepage — every finding is evidence-backed, never a fabricated score.
• Social content planning & publishing: Add-on — Plan and template posts, route them through an approval step, then publish through a connected channel — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X today.
• AI image generation in the social composer: Add-on — Describe an image inside the composer and a ready-to-attach image is generated, sized for the post. The generate control only appears once your image service is connected; a service problem shows an honest unavailable state, never a false success.

• Support level: Included — Standard on Start and Core; priority on Pro (included); custom on Operations.
