An AI that drafts your posts, and code that checks its facts

Autopilot researches trends for a business and drafts next week's posts. The interesting part is the fact check — done in code, not by asking the model nicely.

The most common complaint about social media for a small business is not “I don’t know how to post”. It is “I never have anything to post”. Autopilot is Clienzo’s answer: it drafts the coming week of posts, and the owner approves them.

Every post starts from a source

An AI asked to “write five posts for a nail salon” produces five posts that could belong to any nail salon. So every Autopilot draft has to come from something concrete, and the source is shown next to the draft:

  • trends from trade press, news and research sites, each with its link — never a competitor’s blog;
  • competitors’ best recent posts, used to learn the format that works; their words are never copied;
  • the business’s own profile: offers and prices, hours, promotions with end dates, policies, voice, and a list of things it never says.

The fact check is code

The risk with AI-written posts for a business is not a clumsy sentence. It is a wrong price, an expired promotion, the wrong opening hours. Asking the model to “double-check” does not make that go away.

So after a draft is written, plain code extracts every price, percentage, time, date and “N-day” term from it and checks that each one appears in the business profile. Phrases from the never-say list are blocked too. A draft that fails cannot be approved until it is fixed.

Testing it against real output, the check caught a price that did not exist and an invented “free trial”. It also produced false positives — the word “businesses” matched a plan called “Business” — which needed fixing so the check does not cry wolf.

One approval, every network

Approving a draft schedules it to every connected network where it fits, with an image. Nothing goes out without that approval.

What it is not, yet

There is no weekly autopilot running on its own; you start each run. Automatic scheduling would only make sense after weeks of drafts that needed almost no edits — and that trust has to be earned, not assumed.

Autopilot is on the paid plans. Next part: the quieter problems — tokens that expire, and an email outage I did not notice for four days.
