Pick a word. Anyone who comments it on your post gets your link by DM, right away, every time.

### Your AI can't post without you

Posts your AI plans wait for your Approve. No setting lets it skip you.

### Every post is checked before it goes out

Length, size, hashtags and titles are checked against each platform's current rules, and fixed before the post fails.
