Postel's Core Features
Content Repurposing
Paste a URL. Get six posts.
Postel extracts insights from YouTube videos, TikTok clips, blog articles, and podcasts. It identifies the best quotes, statistics, and takeaways. Then it writes posts in your voice, optimized for viral patterns.
Typefully doesn't offer this.
Postel Content Creation
The Triple Threat
Postel combines three features no competitor matches:
- Knowledge Base: Store your topics, expertise, and brand voice. Every post draws from this context. The AI doesn't guess who you are—it knows.
Postel Knowledge Base
- Viral Outliers: Filter thousands of high-performing tweets by impressions (50K+), viral multiplier (10x-200x), account size, date range, and keywords. Find what works before you write.

- URL Repurposing: Paste any YouTube, TikTok, or article link. The AI extracts insights, analyzes transcripts, and creates six personalized posts backed by viral patterns and your brand knowledge.

The result: A week's content in 90 minutes.
Voice Matching
Train Postel on your X profile or any creator you admire—Naval, Greg Isenberg, Marc Lou. The system voice "Jarvis" is trained on thousands of viral tweets.
Users say it "captures nuances other AI misses." Combined with your knowledge base, the output sounds like you wrote it. Because the AI learned how you write.
