Instagram and TikTok, plans that sell coverage, and the post read before a word is written
- Instagram and TikTok are on Outposts as comment sections: it finds the reel, post or video your buyers are watching, reads it, and drafts the comment for you to post. TikTok drafts are one line, because TikTok caps a comment at 150 characters.
- Plans are Solo and Pro per venture, sold on how hard the outposts look (every network, search cadence, a year of lookback on Pro, Run now presses a day) instead of a number of replies that no niche can promise. Every reply worth writing is written.
- Before any reply is written Outposts reads the post itself, and a thread whose search excerpt did not match the post is judged again on the real text or let go.
- Replies are two or three sentences at most, everywhere.
- Run now is metered per plan so a busy afternoon of pressing it cannot outspend the plan; the outposts keep searching on their own in between.

Replies that read like a person, YouTube without the gatekeeping, and named accounts
- Drafts are short now: two to four sentences, one paragraph, written the way someone types on their phone. The specific habits that made replies read as generated (clipped fragments, neat opposites, a profound last line) are banned outright.
- YouTube works like Reddit: the outpost finds the video and drafts the comment, you post it. No Google sign-in, no verification, and no permission to touch your channel.
- Name your accounts whatever you like ("Scott Wilder Bluesky") instead of squinting at handles.
- Fixed: a network whose searches were all failing reported a quiet day instead of an error. Reddit and YouTube now say so.

Reddit, honestly: you post it, and warming still applies
- Reddit closed self-serve API access, so Outposts no longer posts there and no longer claims to. It finds the thread, checks the subreddit's rules and drafts the reply; you post it in one tap from your own account.
- Add the handle you post from and the warming lane, the daily caps and the 90/10 rule are computed against it. No password, ever.
- A new account is not handed a pitch to paste: drafts arrive without a product mention and say when it unlocks.
- An aged account starts further along: Outposts reads your public profile for account age and karma.
- Multiple handles per venture, each warming on its own clock.
