An AI social media manager
for your small business.
An AI social media manager for a small business does the whole job: decides what to post, writes it, designs it in your brand, publishes it and checks what worked, for about $7 a day. PaperFlight is an AI CMO with its own team: a CMO that plans the week toward your goal, a Researcher, a Writer, a Designer that makes every post in your colours, fonts and logo, a Publisher that posts to LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky, and an Analyst that reads the results and tells the CMO what to change.
THE SHORT ANSWER
Do it yourself if…
You enjoy making posts, you have the hour a day it takes, and you only need a cheap scheduler to send them out.
Choose PaperFlight if…
You run the business and posting keeps slipping. You want a post every day, on brand, on every channel, and to see which posts bring people to your website.

Set up in one sitting
Give it your website. The CMO reads it and writes down your brand: what you sell, who buys it, how you sound, and the kinds of post that fit your week. You correct anything that's off, connect your channels, and the first post is made the same day.
You choose how it runs: approve each post before it goes out, or let it publish on its own inside a daily cap and quiet hours. You can switch at any time.
What a week looks like
Every morning your CMO plans the day's post toward the goal you set (more enquiries, more bookings, more visits), the team makes it, and it goes out on each channel in the shape that channel wants.
- One post, a version per channel: a LinkedIn post, an Instagram picture, a short video for TikTok and YouTube.
- Pictures, slides and short voiced videos in your look.
- Links to your site tagged, so Google Analytics shows which posts brought visitors.
- A weekly read of what worked, and the plan changes with it.
Where a person is still better
- Filming you, your shop or your team.
- Replying to comments and messages in your own voice.
- Running paid ads.

What people ask.
Is an AI social media manager worth it for a small business?
If posting keeps slipping, yes: a post every day for a fraction of a part-time hire. If you already post well and enjoy it, a scheduler is cheaper.
How much does it cost?
$199 a month, or $1,990 a year (about $166 a month). About $7 a day.
Do I need design skills?
No. The Designer draws every post in your colours, fonts and logo.
Will it sound like me?
It writes to your voice and your do's and don'ts, and learns from what you change. You can approve every post before it goes out.
How do I start?
Get your first post free on the home page, made from your website. Then your first 7 days are $19, taken off your first month.
Hire the team. Keep your mornings.
