Tutorials & guides

Short, practical walkthroughs that take you from a blank workspace to published content — one feature at a time.

Generate your first month of content

Go from a blank calendar to a full month of on-brand posts in about a minute.

  1. 1 Open the /try wizard (no account needed) or head to Calendar inside the app.
  2. 2 Spend 60 seconds on the brief — industry, audience, goals, channels and brand voice.
  3. 3 SocialCTL drafts 8–12 calendar slots with titles, hooks, captions and hashtags.
  4. 4 Review the month on the board and re-roll any day you want to change (1 credit).
  5. 5 Click Generate on a slot to produce the finished reel, carousel or static post.

Make an AI reel

Render a real MP4 reel — scenes, motion, music and voice-over — not a slideshow.

  1. 1 Pick a reel slot on the calendar, or start fresh from the Generate studio.
  2. 2 Describe the reel — or let the calendar strategy write the brief for you.
  3. 3 SocialCTL plans the scenes, generates AI b-roll, and adds an AI voice-over.
  4. 4 Remotion renders an aspect-correct MP4 for Reels, Shorts or TikTok.
  5. 5 Open the timeline editor to trim, reorder, swap clips, or change the music.

Build a carousel

Turn one idea into a multi-slide carousel and export it as PDF or a slide ZIP.

  1. 1 Choose a carousel slot, or open the dedicated carousel create page.
  2. 2 Set the topic, audience, slide count (3–12) and a visual style.
  3. 3 SocialCTL writes each slide and renders premium editorial visuals on-brand.
  4. 4 Refine any slide with a plain-English prompt, or re-roll the whole set.
  5. 5 Download as a PDF deliverable or a ZIP of PNG slides with a caption sidecar.

Connect your accounts & schedule

Link Instagram, LinkedIn and more, then queue posts to publish automatically.

  1. 1 Go to Channels and connect Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok or X via OAuth.
  2. 2 Open any approved piece and pick the platforms you want to publish to.
  3. 3 Set a date and time, or use a weekly posting preset to auto-fill the slots.
  4. 4 The schedule fans out one queued post per platform and account.
  5. 5 Track everything from the Publishing page — queued, published, or failed.

Set up your brand kit

Lock in your colours, voice and logo so every generation looks consistently you.

  1. 1 Open Brand from the workspace and add your name, tagline and industry.
  2. 2 Pick your brand colours, voice and audience — or let "Generate with AI" fill them.
  3. 3 Upload a logo, or generate three logo concepts and choose your favourite.
  4. 4 List products, keywords to favour and terms to avoid for tighter on-brand output.
  5. 5 Every AI call now leads with your brand kit, so the first draft already looks like you.

Use the brand brain

Upload your real business docs so the AI writes about your brand, not generic guesses.

  1. 1 Go to Settings → Brand knowledge and upload .txt, .md, .csv or .pdf files.
  2. 2 Add product sheets, pricing, FAQs, your story and your tone of voice.
  3. 3 SocialCTL extracts the text and compiles it into one "brand brain" context block.
  4. 4 Click Update brand brain whenever you add or remove files.
  5. 5 Every calendar, caption, carousel and reel is now grounded in your real business.
