I use Latey to amplify each of the blog posts I write. I particularly love that feature that allows me to schedule my social posts into the future.
Prior to using Lately at the beginning of 2021, I would send out one tweet and one LinkedIn update with a link to my post just after I publish it. And that was it. I didn't share again.
Now, with Lately A, I spend less than five minutes each time to copy and paste the link to my post, which autogenerates a dozen or more social posts. I edit as appropriate and then use the auto schedule feature to share them, usually several times a month over about 6 months. Each social post can include hashtags and links back to my original post.
It does take some time to learn how to use Lately AI. But that's true of any good SaaS platform I've started using over the years.
If you want to dip your toes into AI-powered marketing, Lately is your best choice.
The Lately AI is amazing at picking phrases, a sentence, or several sentences out of a blog post that would make for an ideal LinkedIn post ot tweet. It's so much easier than manually studying the text in my posts. I usually take about 5 minutes to edit about half of the posts slightly before scheduling. Some autogenerated posts don't work for my writing style, so I delete them without sharing.
My Lately social post queue is now up to more than 60 posts scheduled to go out over the next 6 months!
My company has been using the Latley platform for a bit over a year now, and all I can say is --Im hooked. By means of AI or as I like to say magical sourcery, there is no more staring into the abyss, no more writers block, no more analytics confusion. The Latley AI auto generates your posts for me. I remember the first time I used the platform and a post was generated, I was like "whaaaaaatttt." When our posts go out now I know 100% that they are fully optimized for our SEO, our brand, and our message. Since using Lately our social engagment has increased significantly, so much time has been saved, and I no longer have the desire to hide under my desk when posting something on social media. Our experience using Lately, has been a amazing. Thank you Lately!
They recently rolled out a new platform that answers resolved any issues that I initially had. So My only dislike is having to answer this question. :)
Optimizeing our social media posts for our message, and our brand as well as our key words. Latley begins to learn your key words and your messaging as you use it more and more. It picks up on the trends and things that work and dont work for your posts. I love the fact that we can posts everything to everywhere, at the same time. It is a huge time saver.
I was using Buffer (paid) and found it a very manual task to schedule my posts across different social media platforms, having to create 5 unique posts for each blog. Lately does this all for you across the written word, as well as transcribing audio and video. It then segments the video / audio up and creates short clips, with the related transcript. I can create a 100 or so tweets, for example, from a 30 min vlog in a matter of minutes!
I had to change some of my processes and way of thinking to get an understanding of how their dashboards work, but Chris on the customer success team was awesome in terms of helping me through this.
making my content work much harder for me at scale, while saving me time.
My favorite part about Lately is the ability to pull in my blog posts & have them pull out the best parts for easily sharing to other social media platforms! True time saver!
Lately is awesome - there are some things they could add functionality-wise, but overall it's a great tool. The team at Lately is great about listening to their customers & doing what they can to implement changes or requests.
Lately is awesome - if you are looking to streamline your marketing & want to work with some of the best people - Try Lately!
Lately helps save the time spent sharing across all social platforms! Thanks Lately!
I needed a solution that could help me leverage my content in an efficient and easy way! Lately is it! I'm more active on my social channels, and I can track the results! Best tool ever for a small biz!
I love Lately! It makes my life so much easier.
Content Management and Marketing
First of all, Lately is changing the game with its multifunctional capabilities. To be able to streamline and transform social media content generation and marketing into revenue has been extremely helpful.
I wish there were more integrations (namely with Slack), but I know that it's only a matter of time until there are.
Use it! We're so glad that we got on board with them.
We're able to have one place where both project management, social media content generation, and accountability practices rest in one place.
I appreciate that Lately is so user-friendly and makes scheduling social posts so simple. Plus, the analytics and insights on best times to posts are a wonderful asset.
There isn't anything that immediately stands out. Though, it would be great if there was a way to boosts posts from their platform when you schedule a post.
Lately helps me save time, by allowing me to schedule Instagram posts ahead of time. While there are other apps that do this, Lately doesn't appear to affect the algorithm, which can happen when posting from a third party.
Easy to map out your social media content for the week and see what your feed would look like.
Wish you could set up instagram stories instead of just posts.
If you are looking to be more organized with your social media content then Lately is for you!
I am saving time each time not having to post on my accounts, on latley I can time my posts and they will post it for me!
i love the organization and order in this platform, is really easy to find and check everything you need
i always work as community management and everything that lately offered me i wished before, when i did'nt know this awesome tool. I think that as a community manager, you need to save time and with lately you will have a lot of time free
i think you need to explore the tool and discover by yourself which are the best practices for you company and learn very well the function to take advantage of everything it has to offer lately for you
I grow the community of my page so fast and never have to worrie again about this because this platform is really great and complete. It covers so much and you can do another things and supervise the performance of your community grow.

I love how quickly you are able to generate posts from your content. I have been able to schedule hundreds of social media posts in a few hours. This would have most likely taken me days to accomplish this same feat!
I have noticed some features like the queue have tended to be a little buggy for me at times (when I try to reorganize posts, they jump back to the original order) . I think it would be extremely helpful to be able to add several pipelines that operate similar to the queue (continue adding posts for different social networks and have these queues work independently of each other). For example, I could set up one queue that publishes a specific type of content weekly and another queue that publishes a different type of content daily.
If you operate with a very social media heavy business model, Lately is definitely worth checking out! Although I don't usually post the content exactly as it's generated by Lately, having the main thoughts already generated has allowed me to come up with nearly endless post ideas and saved a ton of time.
I'm saving a ton of time on my social media creation. It has allowed me to focus on creating better image content for Instagram (and create it more consistently) as well as allowed me to focus on other areas of my business that can drive more revenue.
