| # | In the job description | How the agent does it | How far it goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Plan a content calendar and posting schedule for each social channel. | Builds next month's calendar in Google Sheets from your goals, launches and key dates: one row per post with the channel, format, idea, first caption and time. You move, cut or approve rows before anything is made. | Does it |
| 02 | Write captions and create posts, images and short videos that suit each platform. | Writes a caption for each platform, designs the graphic in three sizes and cuts vertical clips of 20 to 40 seconds, with captions on screen, from footage in your Google Drive. Finished files go to the Library, named by date. | Does it |
| 03 | Schedule and publish content on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube. | Puts the week on one card: each image or clip, its caption and its time. When you allow it, the posts are scheduled on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube through their connections, or in the agent's own browser where a connection does not cover a step. | Does it, asks first |
| 04 | Reply to comments, direct messages and reviews, and keep community conversations going. | Twice a day it reads new comments, messages and reviews on Instagram and YouTube and drafts a reply to each in your voice. Replies are grouped for one approval; complaints and sensitive messages are set apart for you to answer. | Does it, asks first |
| 05 | Track reach, engagement and follower growth, and report on what worked and why. | Every Monday it reads last week's figures on Instagram and TikTok for each post: reach, saves, comments, watch time and follower change. A one-page report in Google Docs says what did well, what did not, and what it would try next. | Does it |
| 06 | Research audience interests, platform trends and competitor activity to find content ideas. | In its own browser it looks at what five competitors and ten accounts you name posted this week, and which formats drew the most comments. Ten ideas go into the calendar's Ideas tab in Google Sheets, each with an example link and your own angle. | Does it |
| 07 | Monitor brand mentions and customer feedback online and flag problems early. | Searches each morning for your brand and product names on social platforms, review sites and forums. New mentions are logged in a Google Sheet with a link and the tone, and a complaint that is spreading is flagged to you the same morning. | Does it |
| 08 | Run campaigns, competitions and paid social ads, and manage the budget for them. | You set the budget. It drafts the campaign: the mechanics, the posts, and the ad copy and audiences in Meta Ads with a daily cap. Launching, and any change that spends more, needs your approval. Spend against budget is reported each morning. | Does it, asks first |
| 09 | Set the social media strategy and goals so they support wider business objectives. | Strategy is your call. Each quarter it sets out the evidence in a Google Doc: which channels and formats earned attention, what competitors changed, and two or three options with their trade-offs. Once you choose, it rebuilds the calendar to match. | Prepares it, you decide |
| 10 | Keep brand voice and visuals consistent, working with marketing, PR, sales and customer service. | Checks every draft against the style guide in your Google Drive: tone, banned words, colours, fonts and logo placement, and marks what breaks a rule. What the brand sounds like, and when to bend a rule, you settle with your colleagues. | Prepares it, you decide |
| 11 | Choose and build relationships with influencers, creators and partner brands. | Shortlists creators in a Google Sheet: audience, recent posts, brands they already mention and how to reach them, with a first message drafted for each. Who you work with, on what terms, and the relationship itself are yours. | Prepares it, you decide |
| 12 | Film and photograph content on location, at events or behind the scenes. | It cannot hold a camera or be at the event. Before a shoot it writes the shot list and the lines to capture. Afterwards it turns the footage you upload to Google Drive into edited clips, stills and captions. | Stays with you |

Questions people ask
What is an AI social media manager?
An AI social media manager is an AI agent that does the making and preparing in a social media manager's job: the content calendar, captions, graphics, short clips, draft replies and weekly reports. A Monmo agent does this on its own computer with your social accounts, and posts or replies only after you approve.
Can an AI agent replace a social media manager?
It takes over the calendar, captions, graphics, clips, scheduling, draft replies and reporting. It does not set the strategy, decide what your brand sounds like, build relationships with creators or film anything. A person still chooses the direction and approves what goes out; the agent keeps the channel fed between those decisions.
Does it post without asking?
No. Posting always asks first. A card shows each post with its image or clip, caption and time, and you can edit or decline any of them. Scheduling a week of posts is one approval. Replies to comments and messages, and anything that spends on ads, wait for you in the same way.
Will it increase my followers or reach?
It makes no promise about either. Reach and follower numbers depend on the platform, your audience and what you post. What the agent brings is regular work: posts that go out on the days you chose, replies that do not sit for a week, and a Monday report on what earned attention.
Can it make images and videos, or only write captions?
It makes both. Each agent has its own desktop on your team's cloud computer, with image and video tools. It lays out a graphic in the sizes each platform uses and cuts vertical clips with captions from longer footage. It edits what you supply; it does not film or appear on camera.
Which platforms does it work with?
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook are the usual set, each connected with your own account. Where a connection does not cover a step, the agent can use the site in its own browser. On LinkedIn it drafts posts and messages and prepares them for your approval; it does not run bulk messaging.
