Importing Posts and Photos
AutoPersonas pulls in content from your existing social accounts so you can either bootstrap a new AI influencer from your real voice or feed a managed profile with reusable media and a voice corpus.
What gets imported
An import passes through three sinks at once:
- Voice corpus: every imported caption is appended to a per-profile corpus used for few-shot caption generation, duplicate detection, and similarity warnings.
- Media library: photos, videos, and cover thumbnails land in your per-user media library, attributed to the profile they were imported for. The post composer can pick from this library when scheduling new posts.
- Content items: each imported post becomes a PUBLISHED content item attached to the profile, so the calendar and analytics views show your full historical timeline.
Import per platform
| Platform | Captions | Media | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| X (Twitter) | Yes | Photos and the highest-bitrate MP4 variant for videos | Up to 100 posts per import call. |
| TikTok | Yes (video title) | Cover thumbnails only | The TikTok API does not return raw MP4 URLs. The cover image is stored as the reusable asset; the share URL is preserved on the content item for backlinks. |
| Gated | Gated | Pending Meta app-review scope upgrade. We'll enable imports on your account automatically once the upgrade clears. | |
| Threads | No | No | The Threads API has no historical post endpoint. |
| Fanvue | Not supported | Not supported |
Importing into a Character profile
From Characters, New Character, choose Import from X. AutoPersonas analyzes your recent posts and pre-fills the creation wizard with:
- Writing style: formality, humor, emoji usage, hashtag pattern, average caption length.
- Topics and expertise: most frequent themes, interests, recurring areas of focus.
- Voice samples: representative posts saved as few-shot examples for future caption generation.
- Big Five inference: personality trait estimates based on language patterns.
All inferred settings are suggestions. You can edit anything before creating the influencer.
Importing into a Managed profile
For a managed profile, the import has no character-drafting side effect. Captions and media are simply written to the voice corpus and media library so the post composer can ground new captions in your real voice. See Managed Accounts for the full workflow.
Importing reference photos
Separate from the post import flow, you can upload reference photos directly during the Visuals step of the creation wizard. These photos define an AI character's visual identity and are used as ingredients for image generation.
- Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP.
- Best practices: upload a variety of angles, lighting conditions, and settings for the most consistent generated identity.
- Photo analysis: AutoPersonas can run an analysis pass on uploaded photos to extract base prompts and wardrobe tokens automatically. See
