By using our copilot, you do NOT lose any of your current setup for Content Categories, schedule, or posts. The categories, schedule, and posts generated by Copilot come on top of your current setup.
What is SocialBee's Copilot?
SocialBee’s Copilot is your AI-powered social media manager, designed to help you create a complete, personalized social media strategy from scratch. In just a few steps, Copilot generates platform recommendations, posting plans, and ready-to-edit posts tailored to your brand.
You can rely on Copilot whenever you’re unsure where to begin, what type of content to post, or which social platforms to prioritize. It’s built to guide you through every part of the process, turning uncertainty into a clear, actionable plan.
Copilot for existing users
If you’re an existing SocialBee user, you can choose to use either the old or new version of Copilot. Access it by clicking the robot icon in the left-side menu.
During the setup, you’ll select whether to continue with the old version or switch to the new one.
Your existing categories will remain intact, with any new categories added on top of your current setup.
How does Copilot work?
When you get started, you’ll be asked to enter your website link. Copilot automatically scans your site and pulls key information such as your business name, tagline, services, tone of voice, target audience, and preferred language.
If anything seems off, you can hover over the information and click on the pencil icon to edit and fine-tune the details. The more precise your input, the better your recommendations will be.
💡 And if you don’t have a website, Copilot will guide you through a quick chat where you can manually fill in the same information.
Once your details are set, Copilot builds a personalized strategy for your brand. Based on your answers or website data, Copilot recommends:
- Social media platforms: Suggestions on which networks best fit your goals and audience.
- Content categories: Ideas for how to organize your posts by theme, purpose, or topic.
- Generated posts: Ready-to-edit post drafts tailored to your strategy with captions and images.
Note: Since Copilot’s output is directly shaped by the information you provide, it’s worth reviewing your details carefully. The more context you give, the more personalized and accurate your strategy will be.
How to use Copilot?
- Sign up for a free SocialBee account or log in here to your existing one.
-
From the left-side menu, click the Copilot tab (the little robot icon).
- If you’ve used a previous version of Copilot, you’ll see a pop-up with two options:
- Yes → Starts the new Copilot flow and resets your setup. This will reset your current setup and begin a new strategy. However, previously generated content won't be deleted.
-
Maybe later → Keeps you in the old version. The message will appear again next time you open Copilot.
-
You’ll be asked to enter your website link. Type it in the box and click “Continue.”
If you don’t have a website, click “I don’t have a website.” -
If you entered a website, Copilot will automatically gather details such as your company name, tagline, services, tone of voice, target audience, and language. Review the information and edit anything that’s not accurate by hovering over a box and clicking the pencil icon. When finished, click the paper airplane icon to save. Once everything looks correct, click “Suggest social networks.”
-
If you skipped the website step, answer the on-screen questions in the chat box and click “Send” after each one. When you’re done, click “Suggest social networks.”
-
Copilot will recommend the best platforms for your business. For example, LinkedIn is ideal for professional networking and B2B growth. Connect the platforms that fit your goals by clicking “+ Connect” next to each one, then continue by selecting “Generate content categories.”
-
Copilot will suggest common Content Categories such as “Behind-the-Scenes Stories,” “Educational Posts,” and “Engaging Content.” You can keep, remove, or add new categories.
-
You can also click the settings wheel at the bottom left of each category to edit its name, description, and color. Advanced options include reposting rules, short links, and UTM parameters. When you’re done with the settings, click “Save Category.”
-
Once your categories are set up, click “Generate posts” to have Copilot create posts for your selected categories.
-
Copilot will create draft posts organized by category and platform, complete with captions, emojis, hashtags, and images. Delete any posts you don’t want, then click “See and approve posts.”
-
In the Content Approval Dashboard, you can review and edit each post: adjust captions, generate text or images with AI, change platforms or posting times, and manage approval status. Approve posts, leave them as drafts, or tag team members and leave notes for them.
What if I was in the process of setting up Copilot?
When you open Copilot, if you’ve previously entered information or completed the setup process, you’ll see a “Start Over” button on the chat screen.
You can choose to start over or continue to the next step, where Copilot suggests the most suitable social media platforms for your business. Previously generated data will not be deleted.
