OpenAI dots + PostizSchedule Social Media Posts with OpenAI dots
- Connect the official Postiz plugin once, no API key
- Your dot plans and schedules posts to 30+ platforms, 24/7
- Custom rules decide what needs your approval
Postiz is the agentic social media scheduling platform that your dot drives through the official Postiz plugin in ChatGPT. Please keep a human in the loop. Last updated: September 2026. Part of the Postiz AI agents guide.
How do I connect Postiz to my dot?
Dots use the same plugins as ChatGPT, and Postiz is an official ChatGPT plugin. Connect it once, sign in with your Postiz account, and tell your dot what the job is. If the Postiz plugin is already connected in ChatGPT, your dot can use it right away.
Connect Postiz, then give your dot the job
Connect the Postiz plugin in ChatGPT and sign in with your Postiz account. Then send your dot this brief.
You run my social media through Postiz.
- First, list my connected Postiz channels.
- Write a version of every post for each platform, in my voice.
- Save new posts as Postiz drafts and send me the plan to approve.
- Once I approve, schedule them in Postiz at the agreed times.
- Every Monday at 9am, plan the week and send me the drafts.Open the Postiz plugin in ChatGPT. Plugin permissions are shared across dots, ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex, so you connect Postiz once. The same plugin powers the ChatGPT guide.
Hand your dot the posting
Your dot calls the Postiz tools from its own cloud computer and keeps working between conversations. Postiz publishes each post at its time.
Plan next week's posts for X and LinkedIn from our last three blog posts. Save them as Postiz drafts and send me the plan.
Done. I saved six drafts in Postiz, three per channel, and sent you the plan. Approve it and I'll schedule each post for its slot.

Connect your accounts in Postiz once. From then on your dot can post to any of them, and Postiz publishes at the time you set.
What can your dot do with Postiz?
A dot takes on ongoing work, not only single requests. With Postiz connected, that work can be your social media: your dot plans, writes and schedules posts, and comes back to you when a decision needs you.
Always-On Posting
Your dot works 24/7 on its own cloud computer, so the posting keeps moving between your conversations.
Scheduled Tasks
Ask once for a weekly plan or a daily tip. Your dot keeps it under Scheduled and repeats it through Postiz.
30+ Platforms
X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit and more, all from one dot.
ChatGPT, Slack or Teams
Start a campaign in ChatGPT and approve the drafts from Slack. Your dot carries the context across every channel.
Images & Videos
The Postiz plugin includes image and video generation, so your dot can attach media to each post.
You Set the Rules
Custom rules decide which Postiz actions need your OK. Drafts wait in Postiz until you approve them.
What are OpenAI dots?
Dots are always-on agents in ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI on September 29, 2026. Powered by GPT-6 Astra, each dot has its own cloud computer and browser, connects to over 4,000 apps through ChatGPT plugins, and learns your preferences from feedback. You can message or call your dot in ChatGPT on desktop, web and mobile, and message it in Slack and Teams.
A dot does not wait for your next message. It researches in the background, runs scheduled tasks and brings you work to review, which suits social media: posting keeps going after you close the tab. In OpenAI's own content creator example, when a new interview transcript arrives, the dot picks moments for clips, prepares show notes and drafts social posts for your approval.
Its Own Cloud Computer
Each dot works on its own cloud computer and browser. Open it from the dot's profile at any time to see the work.
Plugins Shared with ChatGPT
Dots use the plugins you connect in ChatGPT. Permissions are shared with ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex.
Custom Rules and Auto-review
You choose what runs on its own, what needs approval and what is handed to you. Auto-review checks sensitive actions before they run.
What is the Postiz plugin in ChatGPT?
It is the official Postiz app in ChatGPT, built on the Postiz MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It exposes your Postiz channels as tools, and because dots share ChatGPT's plugins, your dot gets the full toolset, including image and video generation. More on the ChatGPT guide and the Postiz MCP page.
How Your Dot Uses Postiz
The plugin signs in with OAuth, so no API key goes into a chat, and your dot only sees the channels you connected in Postiz.
- Connect the Postiz plugin once and sign in with Postiz
- Your dot lists your channels and each platform's rules
- It drafts, schedules or publishes, within your custom rules
- It messages you in ChatGPT, Slack or Teams when a post needs you
- Postiz publishes on time, whether or not you are online
Plugin: Postiz (official, in ChatGPT)
Sign-in: OAuth with your Postiz account
Shared with: dots, ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, Codex
# What your dot can call:
# - list connected channels
# - read platform rules and settings
# - draft, schedule or publish a post
# - list scheduled posts
# - generate images and videosWhat can you ask your dot to post?
Give it jobs, not only posts. These prompts lean on what makes a dot different: scheduled tasks, connected apps and approvals in the tools you already use.
A weekly content plan
Every Monday at 9am, plan this week's posts for X and LinkedIn, save them as Postiz drafts, and send me the plan in Slack.
Posts from a transcript
When a new episode transcript lands in Google Drive, pick three moments and draft posts for X, LinkedIn and Threads in Postiz for my approval.
Post with a generated image
Generate an image of our new dashboard with Postiz and schedule it to Instagram and Facebook for Friday at 5pm.
Ship a launch everywhere
We launch on Thursday. Write a post for each of my Postiz channels, space them out through the day, and hold them for my OK.
Can a dot post on a schedule automatically?
Yes. Your dot's scheduled tasks decide when it works, and Postiz decides when each post goes live. Ask for a recurring job once, manage it under Scheduled in your dot's profile, and every post waits in your Postiz calendar until its time.
Batch a Calendar
One run fills the week: a post per channel, spaced out at the times you choose.
Draft First, Publish Later
Have your dot save drafts. Review them in Postiz, then tell it which ones to schedule.
Turn Transcripts into Posts
When a new interview or episode arrives, your dot picks moments worth sharing and drafts posts for your approval.
Is it safe to let a dot post for you?
Dots build on ChatGPT's protections. You choose which plugins a dot can use, custom rules decide which actions need you, and Auto-review checks actions that affect your accounts before they run. Postiz adds its own limit: your dot only reaches the channels you connected. These are the custom rules we suggest for Postiz.
| Postiz action | Suggested custom rule | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Save a draft in Postiz | Take action without asking | Nothing goes public until it is scheduled |
| Schedule or publish a post | Ask before taking action | You see the final text, media and time first |
| A post you asked for in the same message | Take action if pre-approved | An explicit request goes through without a second prompt |
| Change or delete a scheduled post | Ask before taking action | Protects what is already in your calendar |
Proactive research is read-only: when your dot looks through your connected apps on its own, it cannot change content through a plugin, so it cannot publish anything in Postiz. Publishing always follows your rules.
How do dots compare to Muse, Grok Bot and Cue?
Dots, Meta Muse, Grok Bot and Cue all take work off your plate, and Postiz connects to each of them. The difference is where you talk to the agent and how Postiz signs in.
| Agent | Where you talk to it | How Postiz connects | Sign-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI dots | ChatGPT on desktop, web and mobile, plus Slack and Teams | Official Postiz plugin in ChatGPT | OAuth sign-in, no API key |
| Meta Muse AI | Muse app, muse.ai and WhatsApp | One chat message with the Postiz MCP link | OAuth sign-in, no API key |
| Grok Bot | Grok Bot on desktop and iPhone | /add-plugin postiz from the marketplace | POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret |
| Cue | Cue for macOS and mobile | Postiz connector in Cue's connectors | POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bearer header |
Using ChatGPT without a dot? The same plugin works in any chat: see the ChatGPT guide. For terminal and scripted workflows, see Codex or the Postiz Agent CLI.
