Autopilot vs. approval

Do I have to trust it blindly, or can I stay in the loop?

The most common question we get isn’t about quality — it’s about control. The answer is that you set the dial, and you can set it differently for different kinds of content.

The two modes

Approval mode — every post that passes the Critic lands in your queue as a draft. You see the finished post — image, caption, hashtags, schedule — and approve, edit, or reject it. Nothing reaches your feed without your tap.

Autopilot — posts that pass the Critic are approved automatically and publish on schedule. You still see everything in your dashboard; you’re just no longer the bottleneck.

Per content type, not all-or-nothing

Most customers don’t flip one big switch. A typical setup: images and carousels on autopilot (high volume, well-proven quality), reels on approval (bigger production, worth a human glance). The setting is per content type, so trust can grow at your own pace — most people start with everything on approval and loosen it as the output earns it.

What happens to posts that don’t make the bar?

They never publish silently. A post that fails the Critic after revision — or gets flagged by the visual reviewer — is routed to your review queue marked “needs review,” with the reasons attached. You decide: fix, regenerate, or discard.

What if I go on vacation?

That’s the point. On autopilot, the pipeline generates, gates, schedules, and publishes without you — and one switch pauses the whole system instantly if you ever want silence. Control isn’t a mode you give up; it’s a dial you set.
