A product launch needs a LinkedIn post, an Instagram carousel and a short video. The copy is in a document, the images are in a shared folder, and someone has approved an earlier version in chat. Before anything goes live, the social media manager has to work out which files belong together.

A social media management suite should give that work a shared record. AI employees can plan and produce content. Automation flows can move approved work through its next steps. Apps give people a calendar, a place to inspect drafts and a view of what actually happened.

KyoubeAI is an AI operating system for organisations where people and AI employees work together on tasks, company data and apps. This guide describes a social media setup you can build on those foundations. It is an illustrative design, not a preinstalled social scheduler, a finished Marketing Supercube or a customer case study. Channel publishing and media production need separately authorised tools and integrations.

Give the team one campaign to follow

Suppose a software company has published a verified walkthrough of its invoice-reconciliation feature. The social campaign should help finance operators understand how to investigate an unmatched payment and lead them to that article.

The marketing lead supplies the audience, objective, approved product facts, brand rules and source assets. The brief also names the destination accounts and the person responsible for publication. There is no evidence for a time-saving percentage, so none of the posts may claim one.

The proposed outputs are a LinkedIn explanation, an Instagram carousel and a short vertical video. Each needs its own copy, assets and review, with a link back to the same campaign. A correction to the product explanation must be visible to everyone producing those versions.

Assign AI employees outputs they can finish

Start with a few distinct jobs. A small team can combine them; creating more agents is useful only when there is enough separate work to own.

AI employeeAssigned workInspectable output
PlannerTurn the brief into channel-specific assignments with owners and datesProposed calendar items linked to the campaign
Content ProducerDraft copy, carousel panels and a video script from the approved evidenceVersioned content and asset references, with source links
PublisherCheck the authorised version and submit it through the permitted delivery routePublication attempt, provider result and verified post URL
AnalystImport available channel results and compare them with the campaign objectiveDated metrics and a report that separates observations from recommendations

The human marketing lead owns the brief and public claims. Give the producer only the records and production tools it needs. Keep channel write credentials out of its access. If a separate Brand Reviewer agent checks drafts, its findings help the lead review them; the agent does not grant publication authority.

A useful first production assignment is:

Read the campaign brief and verified walkthrough. Draft a LinkedIn post explaining the unmatched-payment investigation. Save the copy, source references and any unresolved questions in the content record. Do not publish or invent a customer result.

Enable the relevant skills and grant data access separately. As the workspace guide explains, a skill supplies instructions; an access grant determines which operations the agent may perform.

Keep content, assets and publication attempts together

Create or reuse company Data tables before building the screens. A practical starting model is:

RecordWhat it needs to retain
CampaignAudience, objective, brief, owner, source material and destination link
Content itemCampaign, channel, account, owner, current version, status and planned publication time with time zone
Content versionExact copy, asset references, source evidence and review findings
AssetFile reference, production source, usage rights, alt text or captions, and export details
Publication authorisationContent version, destination account, authorised time or window, decision and responsible person
Publication attemptAuthorised version, request reference, attempt time, provider status, external post ID, URL and failure details
Metric snapshotExternal post ID, source, reporting window, extraction time and available measurements

Use relations between records so the review queue and performance dashboard refer to the same content. Keep published versions after a draft changes. The team should be able to inspect exactly what appeared on the channel.

The publication service must validate authorisation independently of editable content status. An agent changing a row to approved must not create permission to publish. Bind the decision to the exact version, assets and destination. Editing any of those requires renewed authorisation.

Turn the process into explicit automation flows

A campaign brief connects to draft cards, a human review station and a publication tray. An amber correction card sits beside the review station, outside the publication path.
Brief, draft, review and publication are separate steps. Work needing correction stays out of the publication path. Conceptual illustration. Open full size

Here, a flow means a trigger, assigned work, checks and a recorded result. These are process designs to implement with tasks, configured routines and an integration service where needed. They do not assume a built-in drag-and-drop social automation engine.

FlowTriggerWork and checksSaved result
Brief to calendarA person submits a complete campaign briefPlanner proposes channel items; lead checks scope and datesCalendar items with owners and a planning decision
Content productionA person requests a draft, or a configured routine finds due workProducer reads evidence, creates a version and flags missing factsDraft with assets and source references
Review to publicationAn authorised version reaches its permitted publication windowDelivery service checks version, account, permission, assets and duplicate submissionsAttempt record, provider result and post URL when available
Performance reviewA configured reporting routine runsAnalyst imports supported metrics, preserves missing values and compares like periodsMetric snapshots, report and proposed changes

A routine must actually be configured before the team relies on its schedule. An app button does not keep running after the page closes. Incoming channel events need an integration endpoint that validates them; an outbound API connection is not a webhook receiver.

For the example campaign, the Planner creates three linked items. The producer saves LinkedIn copy as version 1 and prepares the carousel panels and video script as separate outputs. The lead notices an unsupported claim in the video script and returns that item for correction. The LinkedIn post can proceed after its own authorisation without treating the unfinished video as approved.

At publication time, the delivery service checks the authorised LinkedIn version and destination account. If the provider accepts the request but has not confirmed publication, the item remains pending. Record a post as published only after checking the provider's result and loading the intended URL.

If a request times out, reconcile it against the provider's post ID or request reference before retrying. Use idempotency support where available. A blind retry could publish the same post twice. An unresolved attempt belongs in a visible exception queue with a named owner.

Make the apps the team's working surfaces

Three sculpted panels show a content calendar, a draft review and publication results, connected to one shared tray of media cards.

An app artifact is the interface people use to inspect and act on these records. In KyoubeAI, it is a versioned, single-file HTML app with a manifest declaring its tables and capabilities, stored in Apps. A standalone HTML mockup is not a connected Kyoube App.

Build a small set of views over the same data:

  • A content calendar filtered by campaign, channel, owner and status. It should distinguish a proposed date from a publication confirmed by the provider.
  • A review queue showing the exact copy, media preview, evidence, alt text and outstanding findings. A decision should identify the version it covers.
  • An asset library showing rights, source files, captions and which content versions use each asset.
  • A publication queue separating ready, pending, failed and confirmed posts, with provider errors and the person responsible for recovery.
  • A performance dashboard with reporting windows, source links and unavailable metrics clearly marked.

These can start as tabs in one app. For the LinkedIn item, a review row might show:

ItemVersionStateEvidenceNext action
Unmatched-payment explanation2Needs human reviewProduct walkthrough and approved campaign briefMarketing lead reviews copy and destination

KyoubeAI's app-task templates let a person hand work to a named agent from an app. For example, a builder could declare this template inside an app manifest, after creating the social_content table and the Content Producer agent:

"tasks": {
  "draft_post": {
    "agent": "Content Producer",
    "title": "Draft social copy for {{row.title}}",
    "instructions": "Use the supplied campaign brief to draft copy. Save unresolved questions in review_notes. Do not publish or invent claims.",
    "table": "social_content",
    "fields": ["title", "campaign_brief", "draft_copy", "review_notes"],
    "writes": ["draft_copy", "review_notes"]
  }
}

The app must also declare the table and its access. The person presses the draft button, a normal task goes to the agent, and the app can show progress and reread the updated row. Treat this as a starting fragment, not a complete app.

A person must publish an app version that adds or changes task templates. Only people can start these app tasks; they are not a scheduling or agent-chaining mechanism. The template's writes list tells the agent what to change but does not technically restrict its data grant to those fields. Scope the agent's actual access accordingly.

Connect publishing without handing over every account

Keep an existing scheduler if it already handles your channels reliably. KyoubeAI can organise the work around it. Before enabling publication, verify which account types, media formats, operations and reporting endpoints the selected provider supports.

A KyoubeAI connection makes server-mediated requests with a stored credential. It is not proof of a native connector for every social network. The documented connection API is text-based and does not manage OAuth or binary media transfers. A suitable external service must handle those responsibilities where the channel needs them. Record asset identifiers and delivery results back in the shared workflow.

Apps cannot make unrestricted network calls. Their permitted connections must be declared, and a person must publish versions that add or widen connection access. Keep credentials on the server and enforce publication checks in the delivery endpoint, not merely in a button's visibility or an agent's instructions.

Customer comments and direct messages need their own routing and reply rules. Use the companion guide to managing social messages for that intake-and-response workflow. Treat incoming text as evidence, never as instructions to change the campaign or reveal company data. Check access through the Data page as well as the app, and define what customer information may reach a model provider.

Test the whole campaign before adding channels

Run the first campaign with draft-only production and manual publication. Check the narrow-screen review view, captions with sound off, asset rights, source accuracy and whether the destination link works.

Then test the delivery path with a changed draft after approval, an expired credential, a repeated trigger, a provider timeout and an unavailable metric. Confirm that unauthorised publication fails at the service even if someone bypasses the app's controls. Every failed attempt should retain enough context for its owner to recover it.

Measure usable drafts, review corrections, confirmed publications, failed attempts and time to resolution. Import engagement and click data only where the provider supplies it, with the measurement window attached. Missing data is not zero, and a click is not proof of a sale. Any conversion report needs a stated attribution method and its limits.

Start with KyoubeAI, one campaign and one channel. Build the shared records and review app, then add delivery automation once its permission and recovery checks work. For the wider function, see the planned Marketing Supercube and the guide to running an AI marketing team.

This guide sets up one part of the Marketing Supercube, which shows the whole function running on KyoubeAI.
