Why Typeshare
You do the writing. The robots do the rest.
AI that writes your posts writes what anyone could have said: commodity content that sounds like everyone else. Writing it yourself is how you sharpen your thinking and say what only you can, and that is what grows an audience. So on Typeshare you write, and the agents do everything after: rework it for each platform, make the visuals, schedule and publish.
