What is MySignature?
MySignature turned its digital business card into a lead-capture surface, then instrumented it.
MySignature started as an email signature designer and has spent the last year building out a second product around digital business cards. August was the month that surface stopped being a way to hand over contact details and became a way to collect them: a Collect Contacts form block, a Contacts list behind it, and analytics on views, clicks, QR scans and traffic sources. The signature editor keeps advancing separately, with reply and forward variants the newest addition.
What is Swello?
Swello adds team post approval and multi-language AI writing to its social scheduling core.
Swello is a French-market social media scheduling tool serving agencies and community managers managing client accounts. Recent product work has layered collaboration features onto its scheduling core: a post validation workflow where team members and clients can comment, request corrections, and approve content before it publishes, plus tracking of who last edited each post. Alongside platform features, Swello has invested heavily in content marketing through its 'Follow Back' podcast targeting social media professionals.

MySignature
6.3MARKETING
MySignature turned its digital business card into a lead-capture surface, then instrumented it.
◆ Current state
MySignature started as an email signature designer and has spent the last year building out a second product around digital business cards. August was the month that surface stopped being a way to hand over contact details and became a way to collect them: a Collect Contacts form block, a Contacts list behind it, and analytics on views, clicks, QR scans and traffic sources. The signature editor keeps advancing separately, with reply and forward variants the newest addition.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is from presentation to acquisition. Design tooling — drag mode, AI layout suggestions, banner campaigns — made signatures look better; the card work makes them measurable and makes them capture. That is a different business: a signature is a design asset, a card that collects and reports on leads is a small marketing channel, and the Contacts list is the first place MySignature holds customer data of its own.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Contacts list to grow the obvious next pieces — export, tagging, and a route into the CRMs and marketing tools its Teams customers already run.
Swello
5.0MARKETING
Swello adds team post approval and multi-language AI writing to its social scheduling core.
◆ Current state
Swello is a French-market social media scheduling tool serving agencies and community managers managing client accounts. Recent product work has layered collaboration features onto its scheduling core: a post validation workflow where team members and clients can comment, request corrections, and approve content before it publishes, plus tracking of who last edited each post. Alongside platform features, Swello has invested heavily in content marketing through its 'Follow Back' podcast targeting social media professionals.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving toward agency-grade workflow tooling — approval chains, collaborative editing, a forthcoming notifications and mentions center, and a private messages/comments inbox. The UI translation into 11 languages and AI-powered post translation into 13 suggest a deliberate push beyond the French-speaking market into broader European agency accounts. Teased AI assistant features point toward automating more of the content creation cycle, not just scheduling.
◆ Prediction
The next release will likely be the notifications and @mentions center signaled in the approval workflow announcement, completing the team collaboration loop. The private messages/comments inbox has also been previewed as imminent and would meaningfully expand Swello's engagement surface.
