Feature
Three posts a week, made and scheduled while you work
Updated
Autopilot is the part of Vidpop that does the weekly work. You tell it about your business once. Every week after that it plans three carousels, designs them, writes a caption for each and puts them on your calendar. They go out on schedule, or wait for your OK if you prefer. It runs on your iPhone.
How it works
- 01Tell it about your business. Paste your website or your App Store link, or answer six short questions and add a few photos.
- 02Connect your accounts. Link Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn with Post for Me. You sign in on each network's own page.
- 03Look over the week. Three carousels land on your calendar. Your first week always waits for your approval.
- 04Let it post. Each carousel goes out at its time. You get a notification when a post is live.

Vidpop made these for Superset, our own workout app.
What you get every week
- Three carousels. Each has 5 to 7 slides at 1080x1350, the tall size that fills the screen on Instagram.
- Eight formats. Tips, myth vs fact, steps, FAQ, mistakes, checklists, before and after, and behind the scenes. The week mixes them so your feed does not repeat itself.
- A caption for every post. Edit it if you want to say it your way.
- A notification when the week is ready, and another when each post goes live.
- Five extra AI posts a week. Describe a post in a sentence with Create with AI, re-make a picture, or ask for more posts like one you liked. These share one weekly allowance of five.
You stay in charge
Turn on "Ask me first" and nothing goes out until you approve it. Leave it off and Autopilot posts on its own.
Either way, you can change a post until 15 minutes before it is due. Re-make it, go back to the earlier version, or rewrite the caption. Before each new week is made, you can add a note to steer it, like a sale you want mentioned.
Who it suits
Autopilot is for a business that should post every week and has nobody to do it: a café, a clinic, a salon, a shop, an app maker, a freelancer. A scheduler waits for you to make the posts. Autopilot makes them.
Good to know
- Carousels go to Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. TikTok is for video, which comes with UGC video ads.
- Carousels and captions are in English. Video ads can be in English or Arabic.
- Both plans include the same three carousels a week.
- Vidpop runs on iPhone, iOS 17 or later.
Frequently asked questions
- How does Autopilot know what to post about?
- From what you give it at the start: your website, your App Store link, or six short answers and a few photos. It works out what you sell and who it is for, then plans each week around that.
- Do I have to approve every post?
- No. Your first week always waits for your approval. After that you choose: turn on "Ask me first" to approve each post, or let Autopilot post at the scheduled time.
- Can I change a post Autopilot made?
- Yes. You can edit the caption, re-make the post or go back to the earlier version until 15 minutes before it is due to go out.
- Which networks does Autopilot post to?
- Carousels go to Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Instagram needs a Business or Creator account, Facebook needs a Page, and LinkedIn posts to a company Page you manage. TikTok takes video posts.
- How many posts do I get?
- Three carousels a week on both plans, plus five extra AI posts a week that you ask for yourself.
- Is Autopilot a scheduler?
- It schedules, but that is the small part. A scheduler waits for you to make the posts. Autopilot plans, designs and writes them, then posts them.
- What does it cost?
- Autopilot is in both plans, and Starter begins with a free trial. See pricing for what each plan includes.
