# Create a Post with AI

### Overview

The Create Post with AI feature allows you to transform simple prompts or complex documents into professionally formatted, rich-media drafts in seconds. 

This tool is available through the Compose menu to all users when the Post module and Create with AI settings are enabled. 

***

### Post AI Editor

To begin, enter a description of your post—up to 2,000 characters—or select a pre-built template such as a Company Announcement or Internal Newsletter to guide the AI’s tone and structure.

For more detailed posts, you can upload a single PDF, Word, or Google Doc (up to 100MB). The AI extracts key information and high-quality images from the file to populate your post blocks automatically.&#x20;

You can also select a specific **Post Template** to control the layout; otherwise, the system assigns a default design. Once you trigger the generation, the AI structures the text, creates a custom cover image, and provides a preview for your review.

After the preview is generated, click **Create Post (Draft)** to soft-finalize your work. This action pre-fills the post title and opens the full editor, where you can select your audience and perform any final manual edits.&#x20;

### Creating from a Post Idea

If you are starting from an existing **Post Idea**, the AI auto-fills the prompt using the idea's original title and description, making the transition from concept to published content seamless and efficient.

### Compose Interaction

Users can create rich, formatted posts with AI from the Compose menu.

* **Input**: Enter a prompt or select a template (e.g., *Internal Newsletter*).
* **Layouts**: Choose from your existing Post Templates. AI will intelligently distribute text and images across the blocks defined in your template.
* **File Support**: Upload a PDF or Word doc to have the AI extract key points and images (minimum 256x256px) to populate the post.
* **Drafting**: Once generated, click Create Post (Draft) to finalize the audience and perform a final manual edit before publishing.
