Generate copy
Create captions and scripts from a product URL, context, link, or deal.
Posts are written in Posts & copy now. For a caption, carousel, story frames, X post or thread, Threads, Telegram, Pinterest, Facebook or email post, see Posts & copy, and Publish a post from AI Content to send it out. This guide covers video scripts, reviews and campaign copy.
Create a new piece of promotional content for a specific platform, grounded in a product URL, short description, Pointerly link, or deal—then edit or regenerate until it is ready to post.
Before you start
- Correct team selected
- Remaining AI credits (generation fails or shows a limit when the meter is empty)
- Optional: product page URL, link, or deal

2. Choose platform and content type
- Select a platform (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, Telegram, Pinterest, or Threads).
- Choose a content type supported by that platform—for example Post, Video Script, Story, Carousel, Thread, Campaign, or Review.
- For video scripts, set duration and number of main points when the form offers them.
Brand workspaces focus on Campaign and Review; creator workspaces expose the full social set.

3. Add product or campaign context
Provide at least one of:
- Product URL (Amazon or other storefront)
- Product or context free text (e.g. “Wireless earbuds, noise cancelling, $49”)
- Optional link, deal, store, style profile, or campaign brief when shown
More specific context usually yields tighter, more attributable copy.

4. Generate and review
- Run Generate (wording may vary slightly in the agent UI).
- Wait until the new item appears in the library on the right (or below on mobile).
- Open the card to copy text, switch variations if several were returned, and verify length against the platform limit.

5. Edit, regenerate, or save as template
- Edit — open the editor dialog, adjust the text, save.
- Generate again — supply a product URL and/or context; the same platform and type are reused.
- Save as template — name the template for reuse on later briefs.
- Delete — remove drafts you will not use.

Tips
- Prefer a live product URL when possible so the model can use title, price, and features.
- For X/Twitter, keep Post or Thread; long video scripts belong on YouTube or TikTok.
- Attach the Pointerly link you will actually share so CTAs stay on-brand and tracked.
- If generation hits a limit, top up AI credits under Billing before retrying.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Generate button disabled | Empty URL and context | Fill product URL or description |
| Limit / credits error | AI credit meter exhausted | Billing → add credits or upgrade |
| Output too long for the platform | Wrong platform or type | Switch to a shorter platform/type and regenerate |
| Regenerated copy ignores the product | Missing URL/context in Generate again | Re-enter URL or context before confirming |
