Write your first Rheos post: answer a short interview, pick an angle, edit the draft with AI, then publish it or put it on the schedule.
Every post in Rheos starts the same way: Rheos asks you a few questions, you pick an angle, and it writes the first draft for you to edit. This walkthrough follows one from a blank screen to a published post.
1
Start a new post
From Home, select New post. The post opens on a short interview rather than an empty box.You can also start from an open slot in this week’s plan on Home: select Create post on the slot. The slot already sets the day and, usually, the platform, so Rheos skips those questions.Speaking as at the top of the interview shows whose voice the post is in, your business or you. Rheos picks it from the accounts you’ve connected. When both you and your business have connected accounts, it asks Who’s speaking? first. To change it later, select the Speaking as row.

Say where it's going
Where’s it going? asks for one platform per post: LinkedIn, Meta or X. Meta covers Instagram and Facebook together, so one Meta post can go to both. Only platforms this brand has connected are offered.To say the same thing on LinkedIn and on X, write two posts.

Answer the questions
Rheos then asks a few short questions about the post — “A few questions, then I write the first draft.” Select one of the suggested answers, or type your own in Answer in your own words…. You can go back and edit an answer you’ve already given.Nothing in mind? Select Suggest something on the first question and Rheos offers a few ideas as cards. Skip the questions, on every question, stops the interview and has Rheos write the first draft from what it knows.Rather write it yourself? Write manually, top right, leaves the interview and opens the editor with your answers so far kept.
Each answer stays on screen with a pencil to change it. The angles follow once Rheos knows enough.

Pick an angle
When it knows enough, Rheos offers a few angles: “A few angles from what you told me. Pick one, or ask me to keep going.” Each shows a title and a line on the approach. Pick one and Rheos writes the first draft around it.If none of them land, select None of these, ask me more. It asks another question and offers a fresh set.
5
Edit the draft
The editor opens with the draft and a chat about this post beside it.
Ask for changes in the chat. “Make it punchier”, “cut the last two lines”, “be more specific about the offer”. After each AI edit, Rheos tells you exactly what it changed.
Edit the text yourself. It’s a normal text box. Rheos saves as you go.
Add an image. The Attachments card has Attach (upload or pick from your Library) and Generate, which opens the Image Studio.
You can’t publish while an AI suggestion is still waiting for you to keep or reject it. Decide on it first.

Publish or schedule
Rheos does not shorten an over-long caption for you. If the text is past the platform’s character limit, Rheos names the platform and Post now and Schedule stop working until you cut it back. Hover a switched-off button and it tells you why.At the bottom of the post:
Save draft keeps the post for later.
Post now doesn’t publish straight away. It opens a Posting to summary of the accounts the post will go to, and a second Post now there is what actually sends it.
Schedule opens a date and time picker; select Schedule in it to put the post in the queue. A post started from a plan slot reads Schedule for and the slot’s day and time, and one tap schedules it there. Other time opens the picker.
Both routes need a connected account for the platform you’ve picked. If nothing is connected yet, set that up first in Settings → Social Accounts.
All your posts live on Home. There is no separate posts list.Each post carries one status — Draft, Scheduled, Published, Partially published or Failed. On a Meta post, Partially published means one of Instagram and Facebook went out and the other didn’t. Open the post to see each account’s result: a failed one shows the platform’s error and a Retry button.If a platform hiccups mid-publish — a rate limit, a momentary outage — Rheos retries it there and then. An expired or revoked connection is different: that can’t fix itself, so the post is marked failed and stops. Reconnect the account in Settings → Social Accounts, then open the post and retry.
