Social Media Caption Generator

The AI-assisted Caption Generator drafts social media captions tailored to your brand and platform. It uses your training context (products, documents, website, branding) to generate on-brand content.

How It Works

The Caption Generator:

  1. Takes your topic or prompt
  2. Pulls relevant context from your training data
  3. Generates platform-specific captions
  4. Includes hashtags, mentions, and emojis
  5. Provides multiple variations to choose from

Using the Caption Generator

Platform Limits:

  • Instagram: 2,200 characters
  • Facebook: 5,000 characters

  • And more...

Step 2: Enter Topic

Describe what you want to post about. Be specific:

Good Topics:

  • "Announcing our new product launch next week"
  • "Tips for improving customer service"
  • "Behind the scenes of our team meeting"

Less Effective:

  • "Post something"

  • "Update"

Step 3: Select Context Sources

Step 4: Choose Tone (Optional)

Select the tone for your caption:

  • Professional: Formal, business-focused
  • Casual: Relaxed, conversational
  • Friendly: Warm, approachable
  • Humorous: Light, funny

Click "Generate" to create captions. The AI will:

  • Include suggested emojis (platform-appropriate)

Caption Variations

Each generation produces multiple variations with:

  • Different angles or approaches
