Setting Up AI Posts
Go to the ‘Social AI’ tab.
Click ‘Setup,’ and select ‘AI posts.’
BirdAI generates posts based on ‘Your industry,’ ‘Holiday posts,’ and ‘Your top performing posts.’ You should select at least one of the options to let BirdAI generate posts on the Calendar and Post library to review and publish.
Choose how often BirdAI should generate posts—weekly or for the next 4 weeks.
NOTE:
AI posts are always planned a week ahead. For example, posts for the week of June 14 to June 20 will be generated and available on June 6.
Select how many posts you want BirdAI to generate each week. Use the dropdown to choose a number, up to 7 posts per week.
For example, if you select the frequency as ‘Every week’ and choose ‘4’ posts per week, BirdAI will generate and display 4 posts each week on the Calendar and Post library. If you select ‘Every 4 weeks’ and choose ‘4’ posts per week, BirdAI will generate 16 posts—4 posts per week for the next 4 weeks.
You can also view the date and time when the last AI posts were created and the next set of AI posts scheduled to be generated.
Click ‘Save’ to complete the setup.
Viewing AI-Generated Posts On The Calendar
Click ‘Publish,’ and select ‘Calendar.’
You can view the purple card on the Calendar with an AI post slotted in the best time to post, which indicates this is an AI-generated post.
Purple cards with just the time window indicate the best time to post. To learn more about the best times to post, read our help center article: Enhance Your Social Media Strategy: Best Times to Post by BirdAI.
Click on the post to view its details. For example, click the AI-generated post scheduled for Friday, June 13.
A drawer opens on the right side of the screen, showing the suggested best time to post, the social channels where it can be published, and the content with the attached image.
Scroll down to view the image source. The image source can be a ‘reused image,’ ‘open source image from Pexels,’ or ‘image from the Asset library.’ It also shows if the generated post is based on ‘your industry,’ ‘Holiday post,’ or ‘repurposed one of your top performing posts,’ and the post reasoning - how was this post generated and why BirdAI suggested this post.
The image below shows the ‘Image source’ labeled ‘Reused image.’ The post is an ‘AI suggestion based on your industry,’ it explains how and why this content was generated.
If a repurposed post is generated from one of your top-performing posts, you'll see the original reference post and key performance metrics that influenced the new content.
Click ‘Schedule post.’
You’ll be redirected to the ‘Create Post’ page, where the content is auto-filled. Select the social channel(s) and page(s) where you want to publish the post.
You can also modify the content based on your needs, attach more images, or remove the existing image.
