Steps
Platform and account positioning
15 minChatGPT / Claude
Decide the main platform (Douyin / Xiaohongshu / Bilibili / WeChat), target audience and differentiation; have the AI distill 3-5 content pillars (what you do, what you don't).
💡Go deep on one platform before expanding; the narrower your pillars, the clearer the persona and the steadier the growth.
Content calendar
15 minChatGPT / Claude
Plan a week of topics: have the AI batch out topic ideas per pillar with angle, format (image/video) and best-publish time for each.
💡Topic formula: pillar + timely hook + a specific audience pain; schedule a week ahead instead of deciding that day.
Batch content generation
30-60 minChatGPT / Claude + Canva
Generate copy drafts in batch (headline, body, hashtags); visuals via Canva templates. Feed the model your account style and past hits (few-shot) for consistency.
💡Turn 'headline → body → tags' into a template and have the AI fill it line by line, then hand-polish.
Per-platform adaptation
15 minChatGPT / Claude
Adapt titles and openings per platform (Xiaohongshu = hooks + tags, WeChat = headline, Douyin = first 3 seconds); trim length and format accordingly.
💡Have the AI output all platform versions at once; you only adjust tone.
Scheduling
15 minScheduling tools
Queue 3-7 days ahead at each platform's active hours; insert trending hooks in as breaks, keeping the calendar never empty.
💡A fixed cadence (daily / every other day) builds recommendation weight better than random posting.
Data review and iterate
30 min / weekPlatform analytics + AI
Feed weekly metrics to the AI: which topics, titles and times worked, and adjust the next calendar. Replicate winning structure, not content.
💡Watch completion and save rates, not just likes; have the AI extract your 'viral factors'.
