To use AI for social media, give an assistant your topic and brand voice, then ask it to draft a week of posts you can edit and schedule. The fastest routine is to record one idea, expand it into several posts with AI, and review them for accuracy and tone before they go live.
This playbook gives you a repeatable weekly system. For choosing tools, see our starter guide.

Keep it authentic
Audiences notice generic content. Feed the assistant real stories, customer questions, and your own phrases so posts reflect your business rather than sounding like everyone else.
