WHAT POSTY DOES FOR YOU - Analyzes your past Instagram posts to understand your voice, tone, and audience - Suggests fresh post ideas that fit your brand, waiting for you every time you open the app - Generates full captions with hashtags that you can publish as-is or tweak in seconds - Generates AI images in the style you choose, or use your own photos - Writes up your own idea: type a half-formed thought and get it back in your voice - Reminds you on the days you choose, and opens straight into an idea - Shows your published posts with their likes and comments, marking the ones it helped write - Handles more than one profile, each learning from its own posts - Works before you connect Instagram: sign in with Apple and start creating right away NOTHING GOES OUT WITHOUT YOU Posty writes; you publish.
