Before you start
Jobs chat can do
| Job | Try asking | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Write posts | Brainstorm 3 posts about my best seller | You get draft cards with a suggested time. Nothing is saved until you schedule one. |
| Schedule your own wording | Schedule this post for Friday at 9am | Autopilot saves it with the words and time you give. It can also save it as a draft. |
| Rewrite a post | Make it shorter | Autopilot shows a rewrite. It saves only after you say so. |
| Manage your schedule | What's scheduled this week? | Also: "Move Friday's post to Saturday", "Review posts that need me". Deletes ask you first. |
| Teach your voice | Stop using emojis | Also: "Make posts shorter", "Train my voice with a few posts", and undoing a past swipe. |
| Manage products | Add a product from my website | Autopilot can add, change and look up products. Deleting one asks you first. |
| Find photos | Find photos of my storefront | Autopilot can search your library, rename photos and note when to use them. |
| Make photos and graphics | Make a graphic for Saturday's special | Pro. Includes new photos, light edits, designed graphics and product shots. |
| Change settings | Turn on Autopilot Mode | Also: how often and which days (Pro), hashtags, emojis, time zone and theme. Turning on Autopilot Mode asks you first. |
| Check in on news | Start a check-in | Autopilot asks a few questions and turns your answers into memories and draft posts. |
| Remember things | Remember that we close early on Fridays | Pro. Autopilot uses what you tell it in future posts. You can also end or delete a memory. |
| Find your way | What plan am I on? | Autopilot answers how-to questions and gives you a button that opens the right page. |
What chat can't do for you
Some jobs only you can do. Connecting your Facebook Page, changing your password and billing happen in Settings. Autopilot gives you a button that opens the right place. See how to connect your Facebook Page.
Works well
- Ask for one job at a time, in plain words.
- Open a post or a product first, then say "this one".
- Attach a photo when you want Autopilot to work with it.
Won't work
- Posting to Instagram or other networks. Facebook Pages is the only live network.
- Skipping a confirmation card. Deletes always ask first.
Jobs that need Pro
- Making photos, editing photos, designing graphics and product shots.
- Changing your brand colors, fonts and graphic pieces, or rebuilding them from your website.
- Remembering facts, events and promotions.
- Setting how often Autopilot posts and which days it can use.
On Free, Autopilot shows an upgrade card instead and nothing is charged. Every other job above works on Free, within your chat limits.
What happens next
- Open chat and try one with how to chat with Autopilot.
- Prefer swiping posts? See how to create a post yourself.
- Teach your style in a few swipes with how to train your voice by swiping.
If something's not right
Autopilot says a job is part of Pro
That job needs Pro. Nothing was charged or changed. See how to upgrade to Pro.
Autopilot didn't do what you asked
Ask again with one job and the details, such as the post, the day and the time. If a post didn't change, check your schedule.
