What you can do
Ask your assistant in plain words. It uses Distribution.ai to do the work and shows you the result in the chat.
- Generate posts from a URL: a blog post, podcast episode or YouTube video
- Refine posts you already have
- Stage post text, up to 50 at a time
- See your posting calendar: what's scheduled, what published, and what failed
- See the next open slots in your posting schedule
- Schedule to any connected channel, and cancel a whole batch in one step
- Create and edit brand voices and style guides
Channels
The connector can schedule posts to these channels:
Instagram and Pinterest can't be scheduled from the connector. Both need an image, and the connector can't attach one. Schedule those posts in the Distribution.ai app.
YouTube works as a source. You can generate posts from a YouTube video, but the connector doesn't post to YouTube.
Connecting
You only do this once. Use this connector URL in either assistant:

What it can access
When you connect, you give the connector these permissions:
| Permission | What it covers |
|---|---|
read | Your content, style guides, brand voices and posting calendar |
write | Create and edit them |
posts:write | Schedule posts to your connected social accounts |
What it will not do
- Publish right awayPosts go on your posting calendar first, so you can review them.
- Read your chat history
- Reach another workspace
- Substitute a channelAsk for a platform you haven't connected and it tells you, rather than posting somewhere else.
- Skip approvalsIn workspaces that require post approval, it stages posts but won't schedule them until they're approved in the app.
Requirements
- A Distribution.ai account
- At least one connected social channel
- A posting schedule set up in Settings
- An active subscription or trial to create, refine and schedule posts. Without one, the tools tell you what's missing instead of failing silently.
Disconnecting
You can remove the connection at any time. Go to:
