How to Connect Typefully to AI: Draft Posts and Threads From a Chat

The best social posts often start as a conversation: you talk through an idea and suddenly there’s a thread in it. Connecting Typefully to AI lets you turn that chat into a draft in your Typefully queue without copying and pasting.

Viro never schedules or publishes. Drafts land in Typefully for you to finish and post.

This guide shows how to connect Typefully to Viro AI, the free AI assistant with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Viro’s own model in one app, and what you can do once it’s connected.

What you can do when Typefully is connected to AI

Read and catch up:

• List your drafts, scheduled posts and published posts
• Read what a draft says, for each platform it’s written for
• Show your posting queue for any dates
• Read the comments on a draft

Make changes, with your OK:

• Save a new post or thread as a draft, for X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky or Mastodon

What it won’t do: schedule or publish a post, edit or delete an existing draft, or add or resolve comments.

How to connect Typefully to AI, step by step

1. Open Viro AI at ai.viro.app, or in the iPhone, Android or Mac app, and sign in. It’s free.
2. Go to Customize → Connectors, open Typefully and select Connect to Viro.
3. Sign in to Typefully and approve access.
4. Check that it’s connected. Back in Viro, Typefully is listed under Yours.

What to ask Typefully once it’s connected

Once it’s connected, just ask in any chat. Use your own names and dates.

Your queue

• “What drafts do I have in Typefully?”
• “What’s scheduled to post this week?”

Drafting

• “Draft a LinkedIn post about our launch and save it to Typefully.”
• “Turn these notes into an X thread and save it as a draft.”

Does the AI change Typefully without asking?

No. Viro shows the post on a card marked Needs your OK, with the account and platform it goes to. Select Edit to change the text; nothing reaches Typefully until you select Save draft. To write a thread, put a line with only — between posts.

Good to know

• Typefully keeps drafts under a social account, so you need at least one X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky or Mastodon account added in Typefully.
• Typefully’s sign-in only offers full access; Viro uses it only to save drafts you confirm.

Is it private?

Viro reads your Typefully data only to answer what you ask. It is never used to train AI models and Viro never sells your data. Free-plan ads are matched to words in the current conversation, never to your identity or your connected apps, and no human reads your chats.

To disconnect, open Typefully in Customize → Connectors and select Disconnect. This deletes the connection Viro stored.
