How Optimate works

From first login to a fully scheduled content plan in minutes. Optimate brings connection, planning, creation and analytics into one simple flow.

1

Connect your social accounts

Securely connect the platforms you already use — LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Google Business, Bluesky and Mastodon — so Optimate can plan, analyse and schedule across all of them from one place.

2

Tell Optimate about your brand

Set your goal, audience, brand voice and content pillars. Optimate uses this to tailor ideas, captions and recommendations to your brand, not just generic content.

3

Generate your content plan & captions

Plan my week drafts up to seven on-brand posts across the next seven days, with post ideas and AI captions. Edit, shuffle and fine-tune everything before you commit. No photo for a post? Optimate can turn its words into a branded graphic in your colours and logo.

4

Approve, schedule & automate

Preview each post the way the platform will show it, and for Instagram, see it in your grid beside your recent and planned posts. Then set dates and times, or take the best time from your own results, and let Optimate handle scheduling and auto-posting across all connected channels from a single calendar.

5

Review performance & refine with AI

Use Optimate's unified analytics to see what's working across platforms, then ask the AI assistant for recommendations on what to post next, when to post and which formats to lean into. Download the numbers as Excel or CSV whenever you need them elsewhere.

Go from idea to scheduled content in one flow

Connect your accounts, generate your first plan and schedule a full week of content in one sitting.

Prefer to just chat? Do it all inside Claude or ChatGPT

On Pro, Studio and Agency you can connect Optimate to Claude or ChatGPT and run this whole workflow by chatting — ask for a performance recap, get your best posting times, make a branded design, then draft and schedule or post. Nothing publishes without your confirmation.

The actual product

What those steps look like inside Optimate

Real Optimate screens, not a mock-up, filled in with a demo café: connecting a platform, generating a post, and seeing what to make next.

  1. Optimate's Connections settings for a demo café: a banner saying 4 accounts are connected, and Instagram and Facebook cards marked Connected with the account or Page each one posts to.

    Step 1 · Connect

    Connect each account once, from Settings.

    Most platforms sign in through their own official login; Bluesky uses an app password. Settings shows what's linked and when, and flags any account that needs reconnecting.

  2. Optimate's AI suggestions in Create Post for a demo café's Instagram post: the goal and tone of voice, three opening hooks to pick from, and the full caption in use beside a shorter version.

    Step 3 · Generate

    A caption in your voice, ready to edit before it goes anywhere.

    Pick the platform, a goal and the topic. The draft uses your brand profile, and nothing is scheduled until you say so.

  3. Optimate's Recommendations for a demo café: the top priority, making Saturday 8am its stem bar slot on TikTok, with the results behind it and three steps to take.

    Step 5 · Learn

    What to post next, worked out from what actually performed.

    Recommendations read your own results across platforms and turn them into the next things to make, with a reason for each.
