Most small teams don't fail at social media. They fall behind, because it's one more job nobody has time for. Your AI social media manager keeps the calendar full and every post on brand, and nothing goes out until you approve it.

## See your AI Social Media Manager at work

- **Plans the month.** A month of posts across your platforms, with dates, formats and captions, from one message.
- **Writes every post, per channel.** One idea written for each channel, in the length and tone that channel expects.
- **Remembers your brand.** Your brand guide, past posts and product shots live in your Drive. Every post follows them.
- **Asks before anything goes out.** Every post waits for your yes. Approve, edit or skip in one tap.
- **Reports back.** A short report in your inbox: what is done, what is next, what needs you.

## What it does

- **Plans your calendar**: A month of posts across platforms, with dates, formats and captions, from one message.
- **Writes for each platform**: The same idea as a LinkedIn post, an Instagram caption and a short X post, each in its own voice.
- **Makes images and short videos**: Carousels, product shots and vertical videos in your colors, made alongside the copy.
- **Watches trends in your niche**: Checks what is working this week and suggests posts that fit your brand.
- **Keeps the feed consistent**: Learns your voice and brand rules from examples and keeps every post on them.
- **Repurposes what you have**: Turns a blog post, video or launch note into a week of posts across formats.

## Set up in three steps

1. **Hire in one line.** "Hire a social media manager for our candle brand. We post on Instagram and LinkedIn."
2. **Connect your accounts.** Add LinkedIn or X, and your Drive for brand assets. You choose what it can touch.
3. **Approve the first week.** It sends a calendar and drafts. You approve, edit or skip each one.

## Works with your tools

LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Canva, Google Drive, Buffer, and 1,500+ more tools.

## Nothing goes out without your yes.

- **Drafts first, posts on your approval**: Every post waits for your yes by default.
- **You set what it may do alone**: Allow scheduled posts on one platform and keep the rest on approval.
- **Everything visible**: Every draft, post and task sits on one board you can read any time.

## What it won't do

- **No paid ads or spending**: It won't run ads, boost posts or spend your money.
- **No promised reach**: It won't promise followers, reach or virality.
- **Only where AI posts are welcome**: It won't post without your approval, or to communities whose rules ban AI-written content, like Reddit.

## Three ways to run your social media

| | Doing it yourself | A scheduling tool | AI Social Media Manager |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans the calendar | You, every week | You plan, it queues | Plans it, you approve |
| Writes each post per platform | You | You | Yes, per platform |
| Makes images and short videos | You, or a designer | No | Yes |
| Watches trends in your niche | When you find time | Basic analytics | Every week, with suggestions |
| Posts on schedule | You remember | Yes | Yes, after your approval |
| Asks before anything goes out | n/a | No | Yes, by default |

## Frequently asked questions

### What is an AI social media manager?

An AI employee that plans your content calendar, writes posts for each platform, makes the images and videos, and publishes only what you approve.

### Can it post for me?

Yes, on LinkedIn, X, Facebook Pages, YouTube and Instagram Business accounts, once you connect them. By default every post waits for your approval. You can also approve a kind of post in advance, like up to two LinkedIn posts a week, and it posts those on its own.

### Does it work with a personal Instagram account?

Not for posting. Instagram only allows publishing from Business or Creator accounts. It can still write the captions and make the images for you to post.

### Can it make images and videos, not just captions?

Yes, it generates on-brand images and short videos alongside the copy, so a single request can return a full week of ready-to-post content.

### Will the posts actually fit each platform?

It tunes tone and format for each platform when you tell it where the post is going. You review before posting, so platform fit stays under your eye.

### How does it learn my brand voice?

Give your AI social media assistant past posts, your brand colors and a few examples you like. It keeps every post on them, and you can correct it in one message.

### What does it cost?

You pay for the work, not the hire. Hiring is free. Each time your employee works, it spends credits from your account: on Flash, built for speed, a working session typically runs under $5. On Max, our deepest reasoning, the same session runs up to about $25. From there the cost depends purely on how much work you assign. Start free, no credit card needed, with 200 credits.
