4 Generate & Edit

Let Blotato Write Your Drafts

AI writes all posts at once. You review and make them sound like YOU.

👉 What to do

After generating, read each draft. Use the Chat box on the right to make quick changes. Or just type directly into the post.

💬 Handy Chat commands to try:

  • "Remove unnecessary formatting like asterisks"
  • "Insert a direct quote from the video"
  • "Give me 5 different hook options"
  • "Make it sound more conversational"
  • "Regenerate — give me a completely different version"
5 Add Images or Videos

Give Your Post a Visual

Posts with images get far more engagement. TikTok, Instagram & YouTube require one.

👉 What to do

Click "Add Media" — then either upload your own image/video OR click "Generate Realistic Image" to let AI create one for you.
