# Schedule Social Media Posts with Perplexity Computer

Perplexity Computer (always-on agent by Perplexity)

Guide: https://lots.social/agents/perplexity-computer

Add LotsSocial as a custom remote connector in Perplexity. Computer can use its research context to prepare drafts, schedule selected posts and retrieve their available results.

Example workflow: Use this research summary to draft a LinkedIn post with the sources. Save it in LotsSocial for me to verify before scheduling.

**Enable the remote connector.** Add the LotsSocial URL in Perplexity’s custom remote connector settings and authenticate. Enable it for the Computer task.

**Keep the source trail.** Ask Computer to distinguish verified facts from its analysis. Only the approved content should become the social draft.

**Schedule after fact-checking.** Review the saved text and sources, then choose a publication time. Return to the connector when you want available post analytics.

### How do I connect Perplexity Computer to LotsSocial?

Follow the Perplexity Computer setup below to add https://api.lots.social/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Ask your agent to list your connected accounts, then save your first post as a draft.

### Is there a LotsSocial skill to install in Computer’s sandbox?

This guide uses Perplexity’s remote MCP connection. LotsSocial does not provide a CLI skill to install in the sandbox.

### Which social platforms can Perplexity Computer schedule posts to through LotsSocial?

Once a compatible connection has write access, LotsSocial provides publishing and scheduling for 12 networks: LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Business, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon. Connect your accounts first. Formats, media requirements and available analytics vary by platform.

### Can Perplexity Computer save social posts as drafts before scheduling?

Yes, through a compatible connection with write tools. Ask for drafts explicitly and review the captions, media and accounts. Drafts remain unscheduled until you ask to schedule them; you choose when to schedule them.

### Will scheduled posts publish after I close Perplexity Computer?

Once a post is successfully scheduled in LotsSocial, its publishing queue handles delivery at the chosen time even when your agent is closed. Creating new drafts or running a recurring brief still requires your agent. Check post status for platform rejections or failed deliveries.

### Do I need a subscription to use LotsSocial with Perplexity Computer?

No LotsSocial subscription is required. Pick a plan for a fixed monthly price, or pay per connected account with credits, charged daily. Eligible new users receive free starter credits with no card required, valid for 90 days. Media storage is free and purchased credits never expire. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate. Current rates are on the LotsSocial pricing page.

Through a compatible connection, your agent can work with brands and their connected accounts inside a workspace. Separate businesses can have separate workspaces. Brands, workspaces, posts and team members are unlimited; connected accounts are covered by your plan or funded with credits.

### LotsSocial tools are not available

Check that LotsSocial is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.
