Ninety-nine dollars a month for a queue and a shared inbox is the kind of number that makes people build things, and here a bot genuinely can - it doesn't even need to build. It has a browser and it can log in as you, so it posts the way you would. Where Hootsuite still earns its price is teams: approval chains, one inbox several people work out of, and an audit trail of who published what. If you're one person, this is the easiest cancel on the site. If you're five people with a compliance department, it isn't.
the prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
You have a computer, a browser and my social logins. Be my scheduler and my inbox watcher. Don't build me an app. Scheduling: - Read the queue from a Google Sheet 'posts': date, time, text, image_url, x, linkedin, facebook, instagram, status. - Every 15 minutes, post anything due. Log in through the browser as me. Download images first. - Write back status = posted plus permalink, or failed plus the reason. Never leave a row ambiguous, never post a row twice. - Space multi-network posts 60 seconds apart. The inbox half: - Every 30 minutes, check mentions, comments and DMs across all four. - Post anything new to Slack #social with a direct link to reply. - Draft a suggested reply in my voice alongside it - as a suggestion in Slack, never posted anywhere. Hard rules: - You never reply, never DM, never comment. You surface and you draft. I press send. - Captcha or expired login: stop and message me. Never grind a login loop. - If a post fails, report it. Don't reword it and don't try another network. Go live only after one test post to X from a row marked test=TRUE, shown to me with its permalink.
the bot will need to sign into: x · linkedin · facebook · instagram · slack · google-sheets
what you lose
- approval workflows and the audit trail of who posted what
- a shared inbox several people can work at once
- analytics across every network in one place
