INTAKE — SCRAPING LIVE SOURCES: RSS · SEARCH · YOUR DATA · CUSTOM 0 items today TOPIC POOL — MINED FROM YOUR SOURCES 8 ANGLES THE WEEK AHEAD — ONE DISTINCT ANGLE PER DAY LEAST-USED ROTATES FIRST SYS.002 ## Schedulers automate the last step. PulseCraft runs all six. ### Manual loop — deprecated - Browse feeds and trends for something worth posting - Rewrite the same idea for every network's format - Juggle scheduling tabs and copy-paste between tools - Publish and hope the formatting survived - Answer comments whenever you remember to check ### PulseCraft loop — running - Sources monitored around the clock — feeds, search, your documents - Five-stage AI pipeline writes platform-native drafts - Brand styles applied to every post automatically - The queue publishes on schedule, to all your networks - You review as much as you choose — AI drafts the replies SYS.003 ## One source in. Every format out. Never a one-shot prompt. Each post runs five distinct stages — click a stage to inspect it. 01 Analyze 02 Plan 03 Write 04 Adapt 05 Format SYS.004 ## Ten networks. One signal. Every channel connected, formatted to its own rules, publishing on its own clock. This board is what your mornings look like now. SYS.005 ## Five systems. One machine.

QRY.01 Do I need technical skills to run this? + No. Setup is forms and account connections — no code. Pick your brand voice, connect your networks, choose a cadence. Most teams publish their first AI-generated post within about 40 minutes. QRY.02 What can it use as source material? + Four source types: RSS feeds you choose, live search topics, your own data uploads, and custom source workflows. Uploads aren't limited to text — decks, PDFs, spreadsheets, and images are parsed and visually analyzed, then mined for post-worthy angles. QRY.03 Won't it start repeating itself? + No. Every angle the engine mines goes into a topic pool with a use-counter, and each run picks the least-used topic first — so iterations rotate through distinct angles instead of circling the same one. Mood randomization keeps the voice fresh on top. QRY.04 How is the AI billed? + AI usage is included as credits with your plan — predictable pricing, no separate provider account to manage. Either way the five-stage pipeline, not a single prompt, does the work. QRY.05 What does the free month include? + 10 posts across your connected networks, the full pipeline, brand styles, and the reply engine. No credit card required. ## Go live. Stay live.

Four content source types: RSS feeds, Google Search, client data uploads, and custom source workflows — monitored automatically, so the pipeline never starts from a blank page. ### RSS bundles Group the industry feeds you trust into bundles; the engine pulls fresh items on its own cadence. ### Google Search discovery Track search topics and catch trending coverage as it lands (Professional plan and up). ### Client data uploads Blog posts, whitepapers, product pages, documents — your own library becomes source material. ### Custom sources Any system your custom source workflows can reach can feed the pipeline. ### Auto-fetch cadence Sources refresh every few hours, with a latest-only mode to skip the backlog. Go deeper: the AI content engine → ## AI content engine Every draft runs a five-stage AI pipeline: analyze, plan, write, adapt, format. Multi-step beats one-shot — each stage does one job well. ### Five-stage pipeline Analyze the source, plan the structure, write the copy, adapt per network, format for publishing. ### Content-type routing Text, image+text, articles, carousels, video — each type takes its own path through the pipeline. ### Custom prompts Steer the engine per campaign with your own prompt additions when the defaults aren't enough. ### Aggregated mode Combine multiple source items into one richer post instead of one post per item. ### AI usage included AI usage is included as credits — predictable pricing, no metering surprises. Go deeper: the AI content engine → ## Creative designs A creative design is the blueprint the engine executes: which content types, how many, for which platforms — declared once, produced continuously. ### Blueprints Type × quantity × platform. One blueprint can turn a single source into a full cross-platform campaign. ### Carousel control Set slide counts and per-slide structure for carousel posts. ### Media formats 1:1, 16:9, 4:5, 9:16, or custom dimensions — sized for the network they ship to. ### Quality levels Choose the generation quality level per design to balance speed, cost, and polish. Go deeper: publishing → ## Publishing & scheduling Publishing runs on your calendar, not your attention span: schedules from every few minutes to monthly, with automatic or manual publishing per workflow. ### Flexible frequencies Minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly — plus custom intervals per content plan. ### Precise windows Exact-time slots, day-of-week rules, start and end dates, and pause whenever you need. ### Auto vs manual publish Let the queue ship on schedule, or hold every post for a click — per workflow. Go deeper: 10-platform publishing → ## Brand intelligence A three-layer brand style system: visual identity, language tone, and mood. Ten platforms, one voice — yours. ### Three style layers Visual identity, language tone, and mood combine into the brand DNA every post inherits. ### Style guides Reusable guides keep campaigns consistent across team members and clients. ### Mood randomisation Controlled variation keeps a high-volume feed from sounding like a template. ### Overlay images Brand overlays in five positions, applied automatically to generated visuals. ### Built-in image editor Crop, resize, and rotate without leaving the review queue. Go deeper: brand intelligence → ## Reply engine Six AI reply strategies: praise, question, contradict, support, share experience, and subtle promotion — engagement that sounds human because it follows your voice. ### Six strategies Pick the conversational stance per reply: praise, question, contradict, support, share experience, or subtle promotion. ### Style overrides Reply tone can differ from post tone — formal posts, warmer comments. ### Multi-platform targeting Work comment queues across networks from a single screen. Go deeper: the reply engine → ## Review & governance Every post moves through a visible lifecycle — draft, approved, published — and you decide where the human gate sits. ### Post lifecycle Draft → approved → published, with failed states surfaced instead of swallowed. ### Manual task queue Approvals with priorities and due dates, so review work is a queue, not a scavenger hunt. ### Role-based access Role-based access with manager, creator, and publisher roles. Go deeper: how review modes work → ## Multi-client & ops Every client lives in an isolated workspace; record-level rules enforce data separation at the database level. ### Workspace isolation Content, accounts, metrics, and history are sealed per client — isolation is enforced in the database, not the UI. ### Client switcher One click moves your entire dashboard to another client. No logout, no context loss. ### Per-account controls Credentials and posting limits are managed per connected account. ### Dashboard metrics Published counts, pipeline status, and engagement charts in one overview.

Start free → Compare plans → Free month · 10 posts · No credit card ======================================== URL: https://pulsecraft.social/how-it-works SYS.001 # From source to published post — here's the machinery PulseCraft is an AI social media automation platform that discovers content, writes platform-native posts, and publishes across 10 networks. Most teams publish their first AI-generated post within about 40 minutes of setup. SYS.002 ## The five setup steps About 40 minutes from a blank account to a running engine. STEP.01 ### Set up your brand profile What you do: fill in brand name, industry, audience, and tone; pick visual, language, and mood styles. What happens: the engine learns your brand DNA once — every post it ever writes inherits it. ~5 min STEP.02 ### Connect your social accounts What you do: link the networks you want to be active on — up to 10 platforms depending on your plan. What happens: connected accounts appear in one view, ready to receive content. Start with two or three; add more later. ~10 min STEP.03 ### Add your content sources What you do: point the engine at material worth talking about — RSS feeds, Google Search topics, your own uploads. What happens: sources refresh automatically every few hours. The "what should we post today?" question retires. ~10 min STEP.04 ### Create your first content plan What you do: choose content types, quantity per platform, and cadence; then pick automatic publishing or manual review — per workflow. What happens: the pipeline starts producing. One source item becomes platform-ready posts for every network in the plan. ~15 min STEP.05 ### Launch and review at your pace What you do: hit publish on the plan. Then grab a coffee. What happens: posts flow on schedule; the dashboard tracks published counts, pipeline status, and engagement. Live SYS.003 ## Inside the five-stage AI pipeline A five-stage AI pipeline: analyze, plan, write, adapt, format. Each stage does one job — that's why the output doesn't read like one-shot AI text. Why multi-step beats one-shot → Analyze → Plan → Write → Adapt → Format STAGE.01 ### Analyze Stage 1 reads the source and extracts what matters: the claims, the numbers, the angle worth amplifying. STAGE.02 ### Plan Stage 2 decides the post structure — hook, body, call to action — before a single sentence is written. STAGE.03 ### Write Stage 3 writes the copy in your brand voice, against the plan, not against a blank prompt. STAGE.04 ### Adapt Stage 4 reshapes the draft per network: 280 characters for X, long-form for Medium, thread or carousel where it fits. STAGE.05 ### Format Stage 5 finalises media, links, and platform conventions so the post publishes clean on the first try. SYS.004 ## You decide where the human sits You choose per workflow: fully automatic, or every post waits for a human click. Autonomy level Full review Smart review Auto + exceptions Full autopilot ### Full review Every AI draft waits in your queue. Nothing publishes without a human click. ### Smart review Routine posts flow; anything off-pattern or high-stakes waits for approval. ### Auto + exceptions The engine publishes on schedule and flags only the posts it is unsure about. ### Full autopilot Sources in, posts out. You watch the dashboard, not the queue. Review mode × publish mode — the four combinations Review mode Auto publish Manual publish Auto review Full autopilot — sources in, posts out Drafts auto-approve; a human clicks publish Manual review Approved posts ship on schedule Maximum control — review and publish are both human gates SYS.005 ## Tuesday, 9:15 AM Overnight, the platform discovered three trending articles, generated 14 platform-specific posts, and published eight of them. The rest is a ten-minute review. - OVERNIGHT Three trending articles discovered; 14 platform-specific posts generated; eight published across LinkedIn, X, and Reddit. - 9:15 Four posts wait in the review queue. The social manager approves three, tweaks one caption, rejects one that feels off-brand. Six minutes. - 9:21 One click on the client switcher: a second brand's queue, reviewed and approved. Four minutes. - 9:25 Two brands fully covered for the day. The morning belongs to strategy, not copy-paste. SYS.006 ## Your first 30 days What changes, day by day When What happens Day 1 Brand profile set, accounts connected, first content plan live. Your first AI-generated posts hit your feeds. Day 3 You've reviewed a few dozen posts and fine-tuned your brand styles. The output starts feeling dialed in. Day 7 Content flows automatically. You're under 15 minutes a day of social media management. Day 14 You add platforms and frequency, and switch on the reply engine (Professional and up). Engagement starts climbing. Day 30 Consistent posting on every platform, without extra headcount. Time to evaluate your plan and scale. SYS.007 ## Setup questions, answered ### How long until the first post goes live? Most teams publish their first AI-generated post within about 40 minutes of setup. The five setup steps — brand profile, accounts, sources, content plan, launch — take roughly 40 minutes in total. ### Do I need technical staff to run PulseCraft? No. Setup is forms and account connections — no code. Technical skills only become relevant if you build custom source workflows or run the self-hosted Enterprise deployment. ### What happens when a platform rejects a post? The post is marked failed and surfaced in your queue with the reason — nothing disappears silently. Fix the content or the account connection and retry. ### Can I start fully manual? Yes. You choose per workflow: fully automatic, or every post waits for a human click. Many teams start with manual review on everything and loosen the gate as trust builds. More questions?

At typical market prices that stack runs $180–600 per month — before anyone's time is counted. PulseCraft consolidates discovery, AI writing, multi-platform scheduling, publishing, and engagement into one subscription. Figures are typical market prices, not customer claims. ### The typical fragmented stack - Scheduling & publishing — $30–100/mo - AI content creation — $50–200/mo - Analytics & reporting — $50–150/mo - Stock imagery & design — $30–100/mo - Collaboration & approvals — $20–50/mo $180–600 /mo vs one PulseCraft plan from $0–249/mo SYS.004 ## Estimate what automation reclaims Team members on social 3 people Hours per person per week on social 10 h/week Loaded hourly cost $25/h Current tool spend per month $200/mo 1,092 h hours reclaimed / year $27,300 labor value / year $2,400 tool savings / year Estimate based on your inputs. Model: reclaimed hours = team × hours/week × 52 weeks × 70% (the share of manual social work automated in our reference model); labor value = reclaimed hours × hourly cost; tool savings = current tool spend × 12. Start free → Free month · 10 posts · No credit card SYS.005 ## The fine print, in plain words ### Can I switch plans later? Yes. Plans can be changed at any time from your account, and your limits update with the change. There are no long-term contracts. ### What counts as a post? One scheduled post to one platform counts once against the monthly limit. The same idea published to five platforms counts as five posts. ### How is AI usage billed? AI usage is included as credits with your plan — predictable pricing, no separate provider account to set up or meter. Heavier content draws more credits; you can see what's left in your workspace. ### What happens when I hit a monthly limit? The engine stops creating new scheduled posts or AI creatives until the next month starts or you upgrade. Nothing already published or queued is deleted. ### Do unused posts roll over? No. Monthly allowances — posts, AI creatives, source ingests — count the current calendar month and reset when the next one starts. Unused capacity does not accumulate. ### What is the refund policy? Subscriptions are monthly and can be cancelled at any time; a cancelled plan simply does not renew. The full policy lives on the refund page . ### Is the free month really free? Free for one month: 10 posts, 2 platforms, 1 user. No credit card required. It expires into nothing — no surprise charge, because there is no card on file. ### How does Enterprise self-hosting work? Self-hosted deployment is available on the Enterprise plan — your data stays on your servers. You run the platform as a Docker deployment with provided nginx and SSL setup scripts, and our team supports the rollout. Wondering what the engine actually does? Every feature → · Running an agency? PulseCraft for agencies → · General questions live in the FAQ → SYS.006 ## Your servers. Your keys. Your white-label. Self-hosted deployment is available on the Enterprise plan — your data stays on your servers. API access, white-label, and dedicated support included. Enterprise details → Talk to us → ======================================== URL: https://pulsecraft.social/security # Security model: isolation first. The summary, up front: - Isolation — every client workspace is separated by record-level rules at the database layer. - Access — role-based (manager, creator, publisher); credentials are admin-only. - Self-hosting — on Enterprise, the whole platform runs on your servers, so content stays within your own infrastructure. - Credentials — platform tokens are stored and expiry-tracked, surfaced before they lapse. SYS.001 ## Data isolation Every client lives in an isolated workspace; record-level rules enforce data separation at the database level. This is not a UI filter that a misconfigured view could bypass — access is evaluated where the data lives. A user scoped to one workspace cannot read another's content, accounts, or credentials. SYS.002 ## Access control Roles decide who can draft, approve, and publish. API keys and platform tokens are visible to admins only — creators and publishers work with content and never touch the underlying secrets. See Multi-Client . SYS.003 ## The AI data path The AI engine sees only the sources you connect and the brand styles you define — never another workspace's data. On a self-hosted Enterprise deployment, that content stays within your own infrastructure rather than transiting a shared cloud. Self-hosted on Enterprise: your content stays within your own infrastructure. SYS.004 ## Self-hosted deployment On Enterprise, deploy the entire platform from a provided Docker Compose stack on your own servers, with nginx and SSL scripts included. Your data, your network, your control. See Enterprise . SYS.005 ## Platform credentials Connected-account tokens are stored per workspace and their expiry is tracked, so a lapse is flagged before a post fails rather than after. SYS.006 ## Responsible disclosure Found something? We publish a security.txt (RFC 9116) with the contact path for reporting vulnerabilities. We respond to good-faith reports. We list only controls we actually ship. We do not claim certifications we do not hold. ## Questions, answered ### Can one client's team see another's data? No. Record-level rules enforce isolation at the database layer, so a user in one workspace cannot reach another's content, accounts, or credentials. ### Where does our content go when the AI processes it? The engine sees only the sources and styles you provide, isolated from other workspaces. On a self-hosted Enterprise deployment, that content stays within your own infrastructure. ### Who can see API keys and platform tokens? Admins only. Other roles work with content and never see the secrets. ### Do you hold SOC 2 or similar certifications? We publish only the controls we actually operate and do not claim certifications we don't hold. For specific procurement requirements, contact us . ## Forty minutes from now, this could be running.

Grouped by topic. For account help and setup walkthroughs see the Help Center . ## Getting started ### What is PulseCraft? PulseCraft is an AI social media automation platform that discovers content, writes platform-native posts, and publishes across 10 networks. ### How long until my first post? Most teams publish their first AI-generated post within about 40 minutes of setup. See how it works . ### Do I need technical staff to set it up? No. Setup is connecting sources, accounts, and a brand style. Self-hosting on Enterprise is the only path that involves IT. ### What are the four content source types? RSS feeds, Google Search, client data uploads, and custom workflow sources. ### Can I start fully manual? Yes. Set review and publish to manual so every post waits for a human, then relax the gates as you build trust. ## Plans & billing ### What plans are available? Free $0 · Starter $19/mo · Professional $49/mo · Enterprise $249/mo (USD). ### Is the free month really free? Yes — free for one month: 10 posts, 2 platforms, 1 user, no credit card required. ### What counts as a post? Each scheduled or published item to a platform counts toward your monthly post limit. ### Can I switch plans? Yes, you can move up or down as your needs change. ### What happens when I hit a limit? You're notified as you approach a limit; upgrade to raise it. The engine doesn't silently overspend your plan. ### Do unused posts roll over? (To be verified against the subscription engine before this answer ships.) ### Do you offer refunds? See the refund policy for the current terms. ### Are there longer billing cycles? Monthly pricing is shown today; longer billing cycles may be available at checkout. Contact us for details. ## AI & quality ### How is AI usage billed? AI usage is included as credits with your plan — predictable pricing, no metering surprises and no provider account to manage. See transparent AI credit pricing . ### Will the content sound robotic? A five-stage pipeline drafts natively per platform and a three-layer brand style aligns every post, so output reads like your team, not a template. ### Can I edit the AI's prompts? Yes — custom prompt instructions per workflow let you steer angle, structure, and constraints. ### What data does the AI see? Only the sources you connect and the styles you define. On a self-hosted Enterprise deployment, that content stays within your own infrastructure. ## Platforms & publishing ### Which platforms are supported? 10 platforms: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, Medium, and Hacker News. ### How many content types are there? 12 content types — from text posts and carousels to long-form articles, Reels, and Shorts. ### Can I schedule posts? Yes — frequencies from every few minutes to monthly, with exact-time control and date ranges. ### What happens when a post fails? It's marked failed with the platform's rejection reason, so you can fix and retry rather than discovering a silent gap. ### Can I connect more than one account per platform? Yes — connect multiple accounts, set a default, and target one per workflow. ### Do you really publish to Reddit, Medium, and Hacker News? Yes — as first-class networks. Most mainstream schedulers don't (compared 2026-06) . ## Agencies & teams ### How is one client's data isolated from another's? Every client lives in an isolated workspace; record-level rules enforce data separation at the database level. ### What roles are available? Role-based access with manager, creator, and publisher roles. ### How many client workspaces do I get? 1 on Free and Starter, 3 on Professional, unlimited on Enterprise. ### Do you offer white-label? Yes, on Enterprise (and as a published add-on). ### Can I sell engagement as a service? Yes — the reply engine lets agencies offer managed engagement as a premium tier. ## Security & data ### Where does my data live? In your workspace; on Enterprise it self-hosts on your own servers. ### Who can see API keys and tokens? Admins only. Other roles work with content, never the secrets. ### Can I self-host? Yes — self-hosted deployment is available on the Enterprise plan via a provided Docker Compose stack. ### Do you hold security certifications? We publish only the controls we operate and don't claim certifications we don't hold. For procurement requirements, contact us . Internal links: Pricing · Security · How it works · Help Center ======================================== URL: https://pulsecraft.social/alternatives # When a scheduler stops being enough Scheduling tools solved one problem: putting content you already wrote into a queue. They never solved the harder one — making the content, week after week, for ten networks, in a voice that's yours. That's the gap an AI content engine fills. Competitors are scheduling tools with AI bolted on. PulseCraft is an AI content engine with publishing built in. Every social workflow is the same six links: Discover → Analyze → Write → Adapt → Publish → Engage. Schedulers own link five. PulseCraft owns all six. ## The honest landscape Compared against public product pages, 2026-06. Re-verified quarterly.

PulseCraft's distinction is the full chain plus included AI credits and self-hosting. ## How to evaluate (a checklist) - Does it write content, or only schedule what you write? - Does it discover sources, or wait for your input? - How many platforms — and does it cover the niche ones you need (Reddit, Medium, Hacker News)? - Can it enforce a brand voice across writers and clients? - Can it generate engagement, not just publish? - Is AI usage included and predictable, or a metered add-on — and can you self-host the data? - What's the real total cost once design and analytics add-ons are counted? ## Head-to-head ### PulseCraft vs Buffer Engine vs scheduler. Buffer queues content you write; PulseCraft writes it. See the comparison → ### PulseCraft vs Hootsuite Content production vs the social inbox. Hootsuite leads on monitoring; PulseCraft on producing the posts. See the comparison → ### PulseCraft vs Sprout Social Produce vs measure. Sprout is a premium analytics/listening suite; many teams run both. See the comparison → ### PulseCraft vs Later AI engine vs visual planner. Later curates the grid by hand; PulseCraft fills it automatically. See the comparison → ## Switching is low-risk There's no import step. Connect your sources, set a brand style, and run PulseCraft alongside your current tool during the free month — first AI post in about 40 minutes. ## Questions, answered ### Are these alternatives better than Buffer or Hootsuite? For pure scheduling of content you write yourself, established schedulers are fine. If your bottleneck is producing content across many platforms, an AI content engine like PulseCraft closes a gap they don't address. ### Can I use PulseCraft with my existing scheduler? You can, but you won't need to — PulseCraft publishes directly to all ten networks. Run both during the free month to compare. ### Do any of these tools support Reddit, Medium, or Hacker News? Most mainstream schedulers don't publish to those. PulseCraft does, as first-class networks (compared 2026-06) . ## Forty minutes from now, this could be running.
