What is Octopost?
Octopost is a social media automation tool that lets you compose content once and publish it everywhere — YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X. Upload your video or image, let AI write your captions, and either post immediately, schedule it, or add it to an automated posting queue.
Your first post in 3 steps
- 1
Connect your social accounts
Head to Connected Accounts and link the platforms you want to post to. Each platform has its own OAuth flow — you'll be redirected to authorize Octopost. - 2
Upload and compose
Go to Compose, upload a video or image (or choose from your Content Library), and write a caption — or let AI generate one for you. - 3
Post, schedule, or queue
Choose to post immediately, schedule it for a specific date and time, or add it to a Tentacle queue for automated cross-platform posting.
