Watch Me Plan a Week of Posts by Talking to Claude
People keep asking me how Radi8 actually works. So I recorded myself using it.
No script. No screen recording. Just me, my phone, and Claude, talking through my week of social media out loud.

What happens in the video
Radi8 is plugged into Claude, so Claude already knows my brand, my voice, my channels, and what I've posted. I open the Claude app, tap the voice button, and just talk.
- 0:14: I ask what I have going out this week. The answer: one TikTok. That's it.
- 0:52: I say I should have more going out and ask what went out last week. Claude pulls it up: 18 posts across LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, and Bluesky, and it summarizes what they were about.
- 1:41: I ask for three LinkedIn posts about our news (getting into the Claude for Startups program, and the Radi8 plugins going live in ChatGPT and Claude).
- 2:08: Before writing anything, Claude checks which channels are connected and reads my brand voice. Then it pitches three different angles and asks if I want them drafted and scheduled.
- 3:17: Done. Three posts, scheduled Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 9 a.m.
- 3:42: I change my mind about the time. "Can you make them go out at 6:45 a.m.?" All three move.
About four minutes, start to finish, and I never opened another app.
Why I do it this way
For most consultants and experts I talk to, the hard part of social media isn't writing. It's sitting down to do it. It's opening the scheduler, staring at a blank box, and trying to remember what you posted last week and what you said you'd post next.
Talking is easier. You already explain your work out loud all day.
The reason this works is that Claude isn't starting from a blank slate. I didn't paste in a brand guide or explain who I am. Radi8 holds my voice, my audience, my plan, and my post history, and Claude reads from it. So when I say "three posts on LinkedIn," it already knows what I sound like, what went out last week, and where to schedule them.
That's the whole idea behind Radi8: your social media happens in the chat you're already in.
An honest note
You'll hear one small stumble near the start, when Claude reaches for the wrong tool and corrects itself. I left it in. This is what it actually looks like.
I did trim the end. After this, I asked for versions of the same posts for X, Bluesky, and Facebook. X and Facebook worked. Bluesky didn't, because scheduling to Bluesky isn't supported through the chat connector yet. You can still schedule Bluesky posts in the Radi8 app, and the connector is on our list.
Try it yourself
Connecting Radi8 takes a couple of minutes, and you don't need a Radi8 account first. You'll create one when you sign in.
Then just ask it what's going out this week.
