Let Social9 Autopilot write posts ahead in your brand voice. Compare Plan many, Plan my week and weekly auto-planning, the three modes, and Pause all.
On this page
Autopilot writes your posts ahead of time, in your brand voice, at good times for each network. You decide whether it only writes drafts, waits for your OK, or posts on its own.
Three ways to plan ahead#
| Way | What you do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Plan many | Paste a link or describe what to promote. Pick a week, 2 weeks or a month. Check every post, then schedule | Home → Fill your calendar, or Plan many at the top of Create → Upload |
| Plan my week | Press one button. Autopilot writes your coming week from your brief | Home → Plan my week, or Tools → Autopilot |
| Plan automatically every week | Autopilot runs Plan my week for you on a day and time you pick | Tools → Autopilot, or Home → Brief & safety rules |
All three use AI credits: 4 per post.
How much Autopilot does#
| Mode | What happens to the posts it writes | Plans |
|---|---|---|
| Drafts only | Saved as drafts. Nothing posts without you | All plans |
| Approve first | Scheduled, but each one waits in Approvals for your OK | Individual and up |
| Full Autopilot | Scheduled and posted, within your safety rules | Team and up |
See Autopilot modes.

Stopping everything#
Pause all on the Home page is an emergency stop. Nothing posts until you press Resume. Scheduled posts wait; nothing is lost. Only owners and admins can pause.
