Draft a post
Brainstorm with Astro, turn an idea into a draft, edit it, and copy it to LinkedIn.
You write a post in a chat with Astro. Astro knows your past posts, your voice, and your brands. About 10 minutes for a first post.
Before you start
Set up Compose first, so Astro has your posts to work from.
Start a chat
Open Compose and press Start a new chat. Check the profile at the top of the sidebar: Astro drafts in that profile's voice.
Ask for ideas
Say what you want to write about. For example: "Give me five post ideas about what I learned shipping our onboarding."
Astro answers with idea cards. Press the heart on one to save it. Saved ideas are listed in Compose → Ideas.
Turn an idea into a draft
Ask for it: "Draft the second one." Astro writes a draft card. You can also skip the ideas and ask for a draft straight away.
Add an image to your message when the post is about something you can show. Astro can also make an image for a draft, when your AI provider generates images.
Review the draft
Press Review draft on the card. The draft opens beside the chat.
- Type in it to change the words yourself.
- Select text to make it bold, italic, underlined, or struck through.
- Select text and press Improve to leave a comment on that passage, such as "too formal". Add as many comments as you like, then press Improve in the chat. Astro revises the draft to answer them.
LinkedIn shows plain text only. Compose makes bold and italic with special characters that LinkedIn displays as styled text.
Save it
Press Save. Every save is a new version, and so is every revision by Astro. Open the version menu to go back: each entry says Your edit or Astro revision.
Press the heart to keep the draft in Compose → Drafts.
Post it on LinkedIn
Press Copy post. Open LinkedIn, start a post, and paste.
Compose does not post for you.
Verify
After you publish, the post comes back into Compose with the next daily check of your profile. Astro then learns from it too.
Find a draft later
Compose → Drafts lists the drafts you saved, newest first. Switch the filter to All to see every draft Astro generated. Click one to review it, or press Open in chat to return to its conversation.
Tips for better drafts
- Tell Astro who the post is for and what you want them to do.
- Paste a note, a metric, or a story. Astro writes better from specifics.
- Ask for the same idea in a different shape: shorter, as a list, or as a story.
