Frequently Asked Questions

AI marketing automation is the use of artificial intelligence to plan, create, schedule, and publish content across social platforms — without manual effort for each post. Unlike traditional schedulers, AI-native tools like Minnal understand your brand voice, track how AI models perceive your business, and help you optimise content to appear in AI-generated answers, not just search engine results.

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization — the practice of making your brand visible inside AI model responses. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude "What's the best marketing tool for solo founders?", GEO is what determines whether your brand gets mentioned. Minnal tracks your brand's visibility across five major AI models and gives you a prioritised playbook of actions to improve it.

Minnal is an AI-native marketing hub that connects to Claude via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You chat with Claude in Claude Desktop to plan your content calendar, write posts, and schedule them across LinkedIn, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and GitHub Pages. Simultaneously, Minnal monitors how AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grok mention your brand, and surfaces a GEO Playbook of actions to improve your visibility. Get started free →

Minnal currently supports publishing to LinkedIn, Reddit (any subreddit), Facebook, Instagram, and GitHub Pages (as markdown blog posts committed directly to your repo).
