TL;DR

What did u/shannonpieter use unnamed AI tool for?

A small business owner cut social posting time by writing one bullet-point core note and pasting short per-platform rules into an AI tool to draft each version. They say "With those rules the AI draft is mostly right and you only fix tone instead of rewriting."

What they did

They write a "core note" first: the point, one example, and the call to action in plain bullets. Every platform version is built from that note, in weekly batches. They keep a short rules note per platform (for example, LinkedIn's first line is the hook with no hashtags in the body; Instagram's first line has to work without tapping "more"; X gets one idea per post) and paste it into the AI tool with each request.

How it went

They say "With those rules the AI draft is mostly right and you only fix tone instead of rewriting."

Worth knowing

  • They only schedule posts that can wait a week and post anything timely by hand. They don't name the AI tool.

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

Here is my core note: [point, one example, call to action]. Using these platform rules: [paste rules], write a LinkedIn post, an Instagram caption and one X post. Keep my wording where you can and change only what each platform's rules require.
