Features & Functionality

Q: Can LazyLines post directly to my social media accounts? A: Not yet. Currently, LazyLines creates content that you copy/export and post manually. Direct posting integration is on the roadmap.

Q: How many files can I upload at once? A: Currently one at a time, with a 5MB limit per file. We're working on increasing this to 50MB and allowing multiple files.

Q: Can I share my workspace with team members? A: Not yet. Collaboration features are on the roadmap. Currently each workspace is single-user.


Credits & Usage

Q: How many credits does a typical script use? A: Varies based on:

  • Model (Gemini: 2-5, Claude: 5-10)

  • Research needed (adds 10-50)

  • Length (longer = more)

  • Typical range: 20-50 credits for one researched script

Q: Which AI model should I use? A:

  • Gemini 2.5 Flash: Research, simple tasks (cheapest)

  • Claude 4.5 Sonnet: Final scripts, creative content (best quality)

  • GPT 5.1: Balanced, good all-rounder

  • Grok 4: Creative experimentation

Q: Can I see how many credits I have left? A: Yes, check Settings → Billing to see your current credit balance and usage.

Q: What uses the most credits? A: Premium models (Claude, Grok) + complex tasks + long outputs + multiple tool calls = highest usage. Research with Gemini is cheapest.


Content Creation

Q: How do I make content sound more like me? A: Fill out your Brand Profile thoroughly:

  • About You: Target audience, business info, custom instructions

  • Voice & Style: Upload examples or describe your voice in detail

  • Content Topics: Define your pillars Then always toggle Brand Profile ON when creating content.

Q: Can I edit content after it's generated? A: Yes! In canvas, you can:

  • Click and type to edit manually

  • Highlight sections and ask AI to revise them

  • Use undo/redo

  • Save changes anytime

Q: How do I save my content? A: Click "Save" in the canvas toolbar. Find all saved content at lazylines.ai/saved. You can search, reopen to edit, or delete items.

Q: Why does my script feel generic? A: Two main reasons:

  1. Brand Profile is OFF or incomplete

  2. Request was too vague

Fix: Toggle Brand Profile ON, be specific about tone, audience, and structure.

Q: Can LazyLines create videos, not just scripts? A: LazyLines creates scripts/text content. It doesn't create actual videos. You use the scripts to film your videos.


Research & Analysis

Q: How do I analyze a competitor's content? A: Three ways:

  1. Profile Analyst (Instagram only): lazylines.ai/competitors → enter username

  2. Add profile URL to chat (any platform)

  3. Add individual post URLs to chat

Q: Can I analyze private accounts? A: No, only public accounts and posts are accessible.

Q: How often does the For You page update? A: Weekly. For real-time discovery, use the Search tab which searches live TikTok/Instagram content.

Q: What's the difference between For You, Trends, and Search? A:

  • For You: Curated based on your Brand Profile pillars (weekly)

  • Trends: Trending formats that work across niches (weekly)

  • Search: Real-time search of viral videos (instant)

Q: How many videos can I analyze at once? A: Unlimited in chat. However, for video watching (visual analysis), limit to 3-5 per request as it's resource-intensive.


Technical Issues

Platform-Specific

Comparisons

Q: Is LazyLines better than ChatGPT? A: Different purposes:

  • LazyLines: Specialized for social media content creation, has viral video search, profile analysis, platform-specific research

  • ChatGPT: General-purpose AI assistant

Both are great; LazyLines is better for content creators. Many users use both.

Q: What about other AI writing tools? A: LazyLines is unique because it combines:

  • AI writing

  • Real-time viral content search

  • Profile/competitor analysis

  • Brand voice matching

Most tools only do writing, not the research/analysis.
