Safe automation
- Scheduling and publishing posts/Reels at set times
- AI-generated captions, hashtags, or video edits you review before posting
- Auto-clipping and auto-captioning long videos into short-form content
- Analytics and reporting tools that only read your own data
Risky automation
- Auto-following and auto-unfollowing accounts to farm followers
- Auto-liking or auto-commenting on posts at scale
- Bulk automated DMs to strangers or new followers
- "Growth services" that log into your account directly
