AI-Powered Content Planning

AI Content Planning generates complete content calendars with proposed posts distributed across platforms, content types, and dates. You can modify plans using natural language and approve them to create draft posts automatically.

Start from the Calendar page by clicking 'Plan with AI'. Specify: Date range (1 week to 3 months), Total number of posts, Target platforms and accounts, Content categories and pillars, and Your goals (what you want to communicate).

1. Click 'Plan with AI' button on Calendar
2. Select date range and total posts
3. Choose content distribution (platform-based or content-type-based)
4. Describe your goals and priorities
5. Click 'Generate Plan' (FREE - no credits charged for initial plan)

Choose between two distribution formats:

• NEW FORMAT: Multi-content-type distribution - Specify how many blog posts, social posts, newsletters, etc., and which accounts for each content type
• LEGACY FORMAT: Platform-based distribution - Specify total posts per platform (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

After you click Generate Plan, the AI creates an AIContentPlan with status GENERATING_PLAN and calls the backend to generate topics. This initial generation is FREE and takes 30-60 seconds.

The AI creates proposed posts with: Topic suggestions, Recommended platforms, Optimal scheduling times, Content type (image, video, carousel, etc.), Category and pillar assignments, and Initial status as 'proposed'.

Once generation is complete, status changes to PLAN_READY. You'll see all proposed posts in a list with: Topic, Platform, Scheduled date/time, Content type, and Category/pillar tags.

Use the plan chat to modify your plan with natural language commands. The AI understands requests like: 'Add 3 more Instagram posts about product features', 'Remove all Twitter posts', 'Change the post about X to focus on Y instead', 'Move all Friday posts to Monday'.

• Type your modification request in the chat
• AI interprets your intent and modifies the plan
• Changes tracked in plan chatHistory
• 2 credits charged per added or updated post
• Removals are FREE
• Credits automatically refunded if modification fails

When you're happy with your plan, click 'Approve Plan'. This converts all proposed posts to DRAFT status and creates real Post records in your calendar.

During approval, you can enable auto-generation to have AI create content for your posts: Generate Images (AI creates images for posts), Generate Videos (AI creates videos for video posts), Pro Mode Images (use higher quality Gemini 3 Pro model - 10-12 credits vs 3-4 for standard).

Auto-generation creates AutoGenerationJob records that process asynchronously. You can monitor progress and cancel jobs if needed.
