Short answers to the most common and general questions about auto-social.io. Use this page when someone asks how the product works before diving into formats or credits.
How does it work?
auto-social.io is an AI chat assistant for social and blog content. You describe what you want in plain language. The assistant drafts copy and media, you review and edit, then you publish or schedule. In Assistant mode nothing goes live without your approval.
Typical flow:
- Open chat and say the platform, format, tone, and goal.
- Review the draft (text and media when needed).
- Edit or ask for a rewrite.
- Approve, then publish or schedule once networks are connected.
See Getting started and Chat and generation.
What is auto-social.io?
auto-social.io helps creators and teams plan, write, generate media, and publish posts across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, plus blog articles with covers. Credits pay for AI generation. Plans change monthly credit volume, not which core tools you can use.

What can I do?
You can:
- Draft captions, threads, carousels, Reels, Shorts, Stories, pins, and blog articles
- Generate matching images or video when the format needs them
- Refine drafts in chat (“shorter”, “more concrete”, “in French”)
- Connect social accounts and publish or schedule after approval
- Optionally use Autopilot later for hands-off publishing on a cadence you choose
You do not need to pick AI model names. The assistant selects models for you. See Choosing models.
How do I get started?
- Create an account and open the app chat.
- Ask for one clear post (name the platform and format).
- Edit the draft, then connect a network when you are ready to publish.
- Stay in Assistant mode until the review flow feels natural.
