Complete guide to Lately AI
Getting started
Go to lately.ai and upload existing long-form content (a blog post, a podcast or webinar transcript, a whitepaper). The AI analyzes it and automatically generates dozens of posts ready for different platforms (LinkedIn, X, Facebook), from micro-posts to carousel ideas, learning over time which formats work best with your audience.
Use cases
Turn one long-form piece of content into dozens of posts
Repurpose an existing blog post, podcast, or webinar recording to generate multiple social media posts without manually rewriting each one.
Adapt the same message across multiple platforms
Generate variants of the same content tailored to the specific tone and format of LinkedIn, X, or Facebook, instead of posting the same text everywhere.
Keep a steady social media presence with minimal effort
Get weeks of social content out of a single long-form asset, useful for small marketing teams.
Progressive learning of your brand voice
Let the system learn over time which tone and format resonates best with your own audience, refining future suggestions.
Advanced setup
- Input content sourcesAccepts blog posts, webinar or podcast transcripts, and whitepapers as source material to generate derivative posts.
- Platform-specific variantsAutomatically generates different formats depending on the destination platform: micro-posts for LinkedIn, carousel ideas, short captions.
- Brand tone learningThe system progressively adjusts its suggestions based on which formats and tones get the best response from the specific audience.
Tips
- Never publish the first generated variant as-is — best practice for 2026 is to generate several options and manually edit one before publishing.
- Reuse the same caption across platforms by adjusting only the tone, instead of rewriting from scratch every time you switch social networks.
- Prioritize longer, more substantial content (webinars, whitepapers) as your input source — it provides better source material than a short post.
- Periodically review which generated variants actually performed best, to better guide what type of content to upload as a source in the future.
