Where Quetzal is different

The week arrives planned and written

Quetzal reads your website and brand kit, plans the week and writes every post in your voice. You open a finished week instead of an empty calendar.

Designed posts and carousels in your brand

Quetzal designs posts, carousels and stories in your colours and type, so every account looks like one brand. Designed images come on every plan, and posts from your own photos are unlimited.

Next week is planned from last week's results

Every post is measured, and what worked on your own accounts shapes what comes next. No report to read.

Nothing goes out without your yes, unless you want it to

Review mode puts every post in an approval queue and publishes only what you approve. Full autopilot is a switch you choose to turn on.
