Autopilot

Autopilot keeps your social calendar full without you logging in every morning. You pick creatives you already made, choose how often to post and where, and it schedules those posts for you on a repeat. That is the whole job, and it does it reliably.

Be clear on one thing before you start: Autopilot schedules, it never creates. It will not write a caption from scratch, design a new ad, judge whether a creative is any good, or watch how a post performed and change course. It takes the exact creatives and the exact plan you set when you created the task, and it re-runs that plan every time it fires. Picture a playlist set to shuffle through songs you already chose, not a musician writing new ones.

Because it runs while you are not looking, the one real safety control is money. You can set a credit cap, and the task pauses itself the moment spend crosses it. It also shuts itself off after three failures in a row, so a broken task never keeps retrying on your dime.

This chapter walks the whole path: making the creatives first, creating the task, setting its cadence and inputs, capping the budget, and reading the row once it is running. One honest caveat up front, the Autopilot tab is live but new, so your project starts with an empty list until you create your first task.
