What Postel Does
- Learns your voice. Postel reads your posts on X or a public LinkedIn profile and keeps every draft in your tone. You can also write in the style of a creator you follow, or with Jarvis, Postel's built-in voice.
- Writes from your material. Save links, articles, files, notes and YouTube, TikTok and Instagram videos as sources. Postel drafts posts from them, so your posts carry what you actually know.
- Drafts with you in chat. Ask Postel for a post in plain words, talk an idea through with the microphone, or have it search the web for a recent topic. It drafts posts for LinkedIn and X, and full threads for X.
- Adapts posts between platforms. Turn an X post or thread into a LinkedIn post. Each version is edited and scheduled on its own.
- Schedules everything in one calendar. Set weekly posting slots, send each post to the next free one, and see LinkedIn and X side by side in month, week, day and list views.
- Finds what works in your niche. The viral posts library shows posts on your topics that reached far more people than usual, and you can write your take on any of them.
- Writes your week for you. On Professional and Team, Postel drafts posts for LinkedIn and X, and LinkedIn carousels, into a review queue each week. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it.
- Shows how posts did. Post and follower analytics for X, Bluesky and Mastodon on paid plans. LinkedIn analytics are waiting on LinkedIn's approval.
- Works from your AI assistant. The Postel MCP server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients draft, schedule and publish posts.
Who Postel Is For
- Founders who sell through LinkedIn and want to post every week without spending every evening on it.
- Consultants and coaches whose posts bring in clients, and who need them to sound like them.
- Creators who already make videos, newsletters or podcasts and want posts from that material.
- Small teams and agencies that write for a few people. Workspaces have seats and an optional approval step.
Postel is not a general social media management suite. If you need company pages, Instagram or a shared inbox, a tool like Buffer or Hootsuite fits better.
Postel on LinkedIn
Postel publishes to personal LinkedIn profiles. A post can have up to 3,000 characters with up to 20 images, one MP4 video or one document (PDF, PowerPoint or Word), plus an optional first comment. Postel can also write LinkedIn carousels in your brand style. See the LinkedIn post scheduler for details.
Postel on X (Twitter)
Postel publishes single posts, threads with media on any post, and posts to X Communities. Natural Posting Times moves each post a few minutes off the exact time, and Auto-Plug adds a reply from your template once a post reaches the number of likes you set. See the Twitter scheduler and the tweet thread maker.
