Autopilot: AI LinkedIn posting with a persona per account
Autopilot in ContentOS runs a LinkedIn account on a steady rhythm. You give the account a persona and a brief, Autopilot prepares a queue of upcoming posts you can edit, rate or remove, and, if you authorise it, publishes them automatically.
Updated
How do you set up Autopilot?
Pick a LinkedIn account, choose a persona preset or write your own, and add a short brief about what the account should talk about. You can add your website so Autopilot picks up your brand and photos.
Autopilot then prepares upcoming posts: up to 24 posts ahead per account. Some posts lead with your own photos, for example a team shot, and others with licence-clear stock images. Every account on a ContentOS subscription includes Autopilot at no extra cost.
- Choose the LinkedIn account and a persona.
- Write the brief and optionally add your website.
- Review the first posts in the queue.
- Turn on automatic publishing if you want hands-off posting.
How much control do you keep?
Every upcoming post can be edited, rated or removed before it goes out. Automatic publishing is a separate switch that authorises Autopilot to post to LinkedIn, X or Threads for you; until you turn it on, nothing publishes by itself. Automatic comment replies are another opt-in switch with its own consent.
What are the limits?
Autopilot runs on LinkedIn, X and Threads profiles. Each connected profile runs its own persona. On LinkedIn it posts at most twice a day per account, the pace LinkedIn tolerates; on Threads it writes single posts of up to 500 characters, never threads, and does not reply to comments.
When does Autopilot make sense?
Autopilot suits accounts that need a steady baseline rhythm more than a hand-crafted post every day: a founder during a busy quarter, a team member who agreed to post but rarely finds time, or a company voice that should stay active between launches. You keep the personal stories hand-written and let Autopilot cover the regular cadence.
It is less suited to moments that need precise wording, such as announcements or sensitive news. Write those yourself in the writer and schedule them on the calendar alongside the Autopilot queue.
Many people start with automatic publishing switched off for the first week. They review every prepared post, rate the ones that sound right and remove the ones that do not, and only turn on automatic publishing once the queue reliably reads like them.
Which plans include autopilot?
Availability by plan:
- ContentOS: Autopilot on every connected account, each with its own persona, up to 24 posts prepared ahead per account.
- Self-serve checkout covers 1 to 50 accounts; more is an Enterprise contract.
- Each account keeps its own persona, brief and cadence, so adding an account to the subscription never changes how the others post.
Frequently asked questions
Does Autopilot post without my approval?
Only if you turn on automatic publishing for that account. Until then, Autopilot prepares posts in a queue you can edit, rate or remove. You can switch automatic publishing off at any time.
Can Autopilot run on X?
Yes. Autopilot runs on connected X accounts as well as LinkedIn, with threads and image posts on X. You can still draft and schedule X posts yourself in the writer and calendar.
Can each account have its own voice?
Yes. Each account runs its own persona and brief, and every connected account on ContentOS can run Autopilot, which suits teams where several people post.
Can I mix Autopilot posts with my own posts?
Yes. Autopilot fills a queue for the account, and you can still write and schedule your own posts in the writer and calendar. Many people let Autopilot handle the baseline rhythm and write the most personal or time-sensitive posts themselves.
