SocialPilot
Publishing, collaboration, analytics, inbox, and client management
Do not mistake the interface for the product. SocialPilot's durable value is platform APIs, distribution, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.
Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability
What you give up
- analytics history and attribution
- team approvals and asset workflows
- protection from API and policy changes
- calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness
- reliable direct publishing across networks
Why people still pay
SocialPilot: Social tools survive because networks change APIs, permissions, formats, and anti-spam rules constantly.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- Node.js 22
- hosted database and worker
- official platform OAuth credentials where available
- Explicit README warning that this is a consolation build, not a production replacement
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Project rule, data: Model sources or channels, posts, dated observations, drafts, and reports; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.
Project rule, behavior: For social scheduling, connect one permitted source or import a user-owned metrics export.
Project rule, recovery: An API gap must be labelled missing; a replayed export cannot double-count the same observation.
Implementation plan
Phase 1, architecture and data
Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + BullMQ. Model sources or channels, posts, dated observations, drafts, and reports; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.
Phase 2, implement
For social scheduling, connect one permitted source or import a user-owned metrics export.
Phase 3, implement
Store dated raw observations and calculate the named summary from those records.
Phase 4, review and output
Show a report with source, time range, and CSV export.
Phase 5, recovery and acceptance
Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: An API gap must be labelled missing; a replayed export cannot double-count the same observation. State the practical limit: analytics history and attribution.
Build me a focused social scheduling workflow for the personal core of SocialPilot. Requirements: - Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + BullMQ. Model sources or channels, posts, dated observations, drafts, and reports; keep stable source IDs and timestamps. - Paid product context: Publishing, collaboration, analytics, inbox, and client management. Build only this DIY scope: Build a personal social scheduling planner that stores drafts, previews platform variants, and exports a posting queue without pretending to bypass platform APIs. - For social scheduling, connect one permitted source or import a user-owned metrics export. - Store dated raw observations and calculate the named summary from those records. - Show a report with source, time range, and CSV export. - Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: hosted database and worker; official platform OAuth credentials where available. Keep credentials in .env. - Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: An API gap must be labelled missing; a replayed export cannot double-count the same observation. - Out of scope: analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow. - Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

Questions about SocialPilot
Can you build your own SocialPilot with AI?
A full replacement is not the recommended project. Do not mistake the interface for the product. SocialPilot's durable value is platform APIs, distribution, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.
What does the SocialPilot build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Build a personal social scheduling planner that stores drafts, previews platform variants, and exports a posting queue without pretending to bypass platform APIs. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows; protection from API and policy changes. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.
How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?
Start with the SocialPilot prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.
How long will this SocialPilot project take?
The catalogue estimate is not a true replacement; consolation build in one to two days for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.
What would I give up by replacing SocialPilot?
analytics history and attribution; team approvals and asset workflows; protection from API and policy changes; calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness; reliable direct publishing across networks. SocialPilot: Social tools survive because networks change APIs, permissions, formats, and anti-spam rules constantly.
What price is this guide comparing against?
The recorded Essentials plan is $30/mo (monthly social plan), checked 2026-07-31. Check the linked pricing source before buying. Building your own also has hosting, API and maintenance costs; the recorded amount is not a guaranteed saving.
What can I use instead of building SocialPilot?
BrightBean Studio: Publishing, approvals, inbox, analytics and client workspaces in one free hosted product; white-labeling is absent. Check each option's license, hosting needs and feature limits.
