💡 SaaS Idea: BrandPulse (Personal brand autopilot for X/LinkedIn)

Web app that plans weekly themes, drafts on-brand posts from your inputs, repurposes long-form into X threads/LinkedIn carousels, and schedules consistently. Built-in audience research and engagement prompts. Competitors: Buffer, Hypefury, Typefully, Taplio. Wedge: opinionated "one hour on Sunday" workflow, tone-lock from your writing, and simple analytics tied to experiments rather than vanity metrics. Inspired by an Ask HN post looking for a personal branding automation tool.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

1. Problem & Proposition

The product promises to take the painful parts of personal-brand content creation (ideation → writing → repurposing → scheduling → measuring) and compress it into one focused weekly session.
Pain points being attacked

  • ‘Blank page’ → weekly theme suggestions
  • Repurposing long-form → carousel / thread
  • Scheduling that is opinionated (one hour on Sun)
  • Analytics that tie back to the experiment you tried rather than vanity metrics.
