Social media decision

inkiro ai

A capable engineer can build a useful personal/team LinkedIn post generator and scheduler, but reproducing the full polished product (multi-voice tuning, managed advocacy, enterprise delegation, and analytics) is a multi-week effort and loses hosted polish and operational services.

Open-source builds that already do this

Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need - the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship. All inkiro ai alternatives, with the arithmetic →

What a replacement has to do

  • From one idea or source text, generate personalized LinkedIn post drafts for each teammate (voice), allow editing and scheduling, publish to LinkedIn, and surface per-voice basic analytics.

What it still won’t have

  • Inkiro's claimed per-voice tuning and any proprietary personalization data or models
  • Hosted reliability, polished UI/UX, and onboarding/coaching services
  • Built-in team workflows like LinkedIn account delegation and managed employee advocacy
  • Any proprietary analytics aggregation or historical benchmarks held by the vendor

What remains hard

  • Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt

Not run yet
Build a minimal self-hosted LinkedIn team content tool using Node.js (Express), PostgreSQL, React, and an LLM API (e.g., OpenAI). Core features in scope: LinkedIn OAuth per voice and secure token storage; fetch a voice's profile and recent posts; LLM-driven post draft generation with editable drafts and history; scheduling engine that saves jobs in Postgres and publishes via LinkedIn API; simple team dashboard listing voices, scheduled drafts, and basic engagement metrics (impressions/likes pulled from LinkedIn when available). Out of scope: managed coaching/onboarding, advanced per-voice proprietary model training, and multi-tenant enterprise billing. Include error handling for API failures, retries for scheduled publishing, migration and schema tests, and unit tests for key business logic.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
