# Pondeer

> Pondeer is a free AI-powered social media content creation and scheduling platform. It turns raw ideas into polished posts using Claude AI, supports X (Twitter) with threads and formatting, and automates posting through communication plans and smart scheduling.

Pondeer is built for creators, marketers, and teams who want to post consistently on social media without spending hours writing. You define your voice once (persona prompt), organize content by post types with their own style rules, and the AI handles the rest.

## Core Features

- **AI Content Generation**: Write a rough idea, get a polished post. Uses Claude AI with your persona prompt + post type rules as system context.
- **X (Twitter) Support**: Single tweets, threads (multi-segment), bold/italic Unicode formatting. Posts via OAuth with tweet.write scope.
- **Smart Scheduling**: Pick a date/time (5-minute increments, UTC) or build a communication plan that auto-generates a month of schedule slots.
- **Communication Plans**: Define posting frequency per content type, set timeslots, and Pondeer fills a 30-day calendar you populate with one click.
- **Multi-Account & Team**: Manage multiple brands from one login. Invite contributors. Each account has separate posts, drafts, schedules, and social connections.
- **External API**: Push content from any tool via POST endpoint with account API key. Supports post type selection, image URLs, and scheduled publishing.
- **Private Image Storage**: All images stored on S3 with private ACL. Served via pre-signed URLs only.

## How It Works

1. Create an account and define your persona prompt (voice, knowledge, style rules)
2. Connect your X account via OAuth
3. Create post types with specific prompts (e.g., "Thread Ideas", "Daily Insights")
4. Write content ideas — AI generates polished results
5. Post immediately, schedule for later, or use communication plans for automated scheduling
