Generate post ideas with AI
On this page
Give the AI a source and it writes several post ideas at once. Each idea has its text and, depending on the source, an image or a video. Open the one you like in the composer, edit it and schedule it.
You need: something to start from: a few words of instructions, a web address, images, a video or a knowledge base. Each run uses one AI Credit.
Generate ideas
- Click Posts → New post (open it).
- Under AI-Powered Creation, click the source you want (see the table below).
- Provide the source and adjust the settings.
- Click Generate Posts. Robopost shows Please wait, it might take some time... while it works.
- The ideas appear as cards. Click Create Post on one to open it in the composer in a new tab, with its text and media filled in. Finish it there and schedule it.
To start again with another source, click Generate Other Posts.

Generate ideas from a prompt
Describe what you want in Give some instructions to AI, for example: "Tips for first-time home buyers, one tip per post, end with a question." You get 6 ideas, each written separately, so they vary.
Generate ideas from a web page or a YouTube link
Paste a web address in URL. The AI reads the page and writes 6 ideas about it, and each idea ends with a short link to the page. Use Give some instructions to AI to steer the angle, for example "focus on the price drop."
Paste a YouTube link and the AI works from the video itself. Each idea then comes with the video attached, unless you switch on Include image, in which case it gets an AI image instead.
Generate ideas from your images
Click Select Images and upload images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, BMP or TIFF, up to 10 MB each), generate them with AI Generator, or pick them from your Media Gallery. The AI writes 6 ideas for each image, and each idea uses its image. Add context in Give some instructions to AI, such as the product name and price.
Generate ideas from a video
Click Select Video and upload a video (MP4, MOV, WEBM, MPEG, AVI, FLV, WMV, 3GP or M4V, up to 500 MB) or pick one from your Media Gallery. The AI looks at frames of the video and listens to what's said in the first 10 minutes, then writes 6 ideas. Each idea comes with the video attached.
Generate ideas from a knowledge base
Pick a knowledge base in Select knowledge base and tell the AI what to write in Give some instructions to AI, for example "6 posts answering common customer questions." The AI mixes your instructions with what the knowledge base contains. Don't have one yet? Click Manage AI knowledge bases, or see Knowledge bases.
Find your ideas later
Every idea you generate is kept in Posts → Post Ideas by AI (open it). Each card shows the idea's text and media, with Create Post to open it in the composer and a ⋮ menu to Delete it.
To generate from that page, click Create new Ideas. In Generate Posts Ideas with AI, choose Generate Post Ideas from: A Prompt or A URL, fill in the settings, choose the Posts to generate count (1 to 10) and click Generate Post Ideas. When it's done, click Generation complete. Click here to refresh the page.
Are AI images saved?
Yes. Images generated with Include image are added to your Media library, so you can reuse them.
