Overview

PilotPost is an AI-powered LinkedIn automation tool designed for freelancers, consultants, and solo founders. It utilizes a 20-minute onboarding interview to build a personalized Brand Voice Profile, allowing it to generate and auto-publish content that authentically mimics the user's specific thinking style and voice. It eliminates the need for manual daily content creation, scheduling, or constant approval workflows.

Founder story

PilotPost was built by a freelance consultant who struggled to maintain a consistent LinkedIn presence. After experiencing the 'feast or famine' cycle of lead generation due to inconsistent posting, the founder created the tool to solve the common professional pain point of wanting to build a personal brand without having the time or interest in daily content management.

What it does

• Learns your personal Brand Voice Profile through a comprehensive 20-minute onboarding interview
• Autonomously generates LinkedIn content based on your unique vocabulary, storytelling style, and professional opinions
• Handles the entire publishing workflow, allowing for 'zero-effort' content management after initial setup
• Provides a weekly summary email to keep you informed of published activity without requiring constant monitoring
• Offers different pricing tiers tailored for solo professionals, pro users, and agencies managing multiple clients.

Who it's for

• Freelancers
• Consultants

Why it works
