Content sources let the bot fill your group for you. Add an RSS or Atom feed, add one line telling the AI the tone and language you want, and choose the target groups. Every new article becomes a tidy post with an AI summary and a link to the source. Pick draft, so you approve first, or auto-post, so it publishes on its own. The bot checks feeds on a schedule, never repeats an item, and limits how many posts one check can send.

Open in your dashboard1What content sources do
A content source is a feed the bot keeps an eye on for you. The moment a new article appears, it writes a short, meaningful summary and posts it with a link back to the original.
It is the easiest way to keep a group active without writing every post by hand. Connect an industry news feed, your own blog, or a YouTube channel, and fresh content shows up on its own.
- Works with any RSS or Atom feed.
- Each new item becomes a post with an AI summary and a source link.
- Posts go to one or several groups you choose.
2Add a feed
Open the Scheduler, find Content sources, and add a source. Paste the feed URL and, if you like, a title so you can recognise it in the list.
Pick at least one target group. A single source can feed several groups at once, so one good feed can serve every community you run.
3Set the AI instruction and the mode
The AI instruction is one short line that shapes every summary — ask for a friendly tone or a specific language. The bot rewrites each item in your voice instead of reprinting it raw.
Then choose how items go out with the mode.
- Draft — each new item becomes a scheduled post, switched off, for you to review and enable before it goes out.
- Auto-post — each new item is published to the target groups straight away.
4No floods, no duplicates
The first time a feed connects, the bot does not dump the whole archive. It posts only the single newest item, then only genuinely new entries after that.
The same item never posts twice, and a built-in guard limits how many new posts one check can create, so even a busy feed turns into a steady flow instead of a flood.
5Manage your sources
Every source has a switch to turn it on or off, a Poll now action for an on-demand check, and a delete action. Disabled sources are skipped until you switch them back on.
If a feed is briefly unreachable, its last error is shown so you can spot a broken URL at a glance. Pair sources with the content scheduler for your own recurring posts alongside the automated feed.
