How is Heist different from ChatGPT? +
ChatGPT generates text. Heist generates a system — with brand memory that persists, platform-specific previews, campaign organization, and scheduling. It's the difference between a tool and a workflow.
How does the Brand Brain work? +
You define your voice, audience, and offer during onboarding. The Brain stores this permanently and applies it to every piece of content. The longer you use Heist, the more it sounds like you.
Does AI content sound robotic? +
Not when it has a Brain. Most AI tools are stateless — they forget you after every session. Your Brain learns from you and applies your voice, tone, and style to every single post.
What platforms does Heist support? +
LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube — six platforms from one dashboard. TikTok and YouTube support native video uploads. The Founder and Agency plans also include blog content generation.
Can I try it before I pay? +
Yes. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial with full Pro features. No credit card required. Set up your Brain and see for yourself.
What if I need more posts? +
You can purchase generation credit packs starting at $9 for 50 extra posts, or upgrade your plan at any time. No long-term commitments.
What happens after my trial ends? +
You'll be moved to the Starter plan. No surprise charges.
Can I cancel anytime? +
Yes, cancel from Settings. No fees, no questions asked.
Do I own the content Heist creates? +
Absolutely. Everything generated is 100% yours.
What is Social SEO and why does it matter? +
Social SEO is the practice of optimizing your social media content so it ranks in platform search results — not just shows up in feeds. In 2026, 46% of Gen Z uses social media as their primary search engine. TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube all have powerful internal search. Heist automatically writes keyword-optimized content for each platform's search algorithm, so your posts are discoverable long after they're published.
How does Heist optimize for Social SEO? +
The Brain analyzes your topic and identifies the keyword phrases your audience would actually search for on each platform. Then it places those keywords where each platform's algorithm looks: in the first sentence (LinkedIn, Instagram), in spoken audio suggestions (TikTok), in titles and tags (YouTube), and in the opening line (X). Every generated post includes a searchKeywords field showing exactly what was optimized for — so you can track what drives discovery.
Is there an API? +
Not yet, but it's on our roadmap. Let us know at support@heistbrain.com.
Can I manage multiple brands or clients? +
Yes. The Agency plan ($199/mo) supports up to 25 Brand Brains, each with its own voice, memory, and analytics — completely isolated. You also get 10 team seats with role-based access (Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer) and content approval workflows.
Does Heist support video content? +
Yes. Upload videos directly to TikTok and YouTube from Heist. The Brain generates optimized captions, descriptions, tags, and hashtags for each platform. Chunked uploads with pause and resume — even large files.
How does the auto-learning work? +
Every 6 hours, Heist pulls engagement data from your connected platforms (Meta, X, LinkedIn). Posts that outperform your average by 2x are automatically identified, and the patterns that made them work are added to your Brain as insight facts. Your next generation is informed by what actually performed — not guesswork.
Is my content safe? Can I undo mistakes? +
Yes on both. Deleted content goes to Trash and is recoverable for 30 days. Every edit saves the previous version — you can revert to any point in history. Drafts autosave every 30 seconds. Your database is backed up every 6 hours with integrity verification. And all data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM.
Built-in Social SEO
Your content doesn't just need to look good in the feed — it needs to rank in search. Heist automatically optimizes every post for platform search discovery. No keyword tools needed.
Audio + Caption SEO
TikTok's algorithm indexes spoken words, on-screen text, and captions. Heist writes keyword-optimized captions and suggests audio scripts so your content ranks in TikTok Search — where Gen Z goes before Google.
Keyword-First Captions
Instagram limited hashtags to 3 and now prioritizes natural language in captions. Heist writes captions that rank in Instagram Search and Explore — and since July 2025, Google indexes Instagram content too.
Professional Discovery
LinkedIn uses natural language indexing — keywords in sentences outrank tags. Heist places industry-specific search terms in the scroll-stopping first line where they drive both engagement and discovery.
Multi-Surface Ranking
A well-optimized YouTube video ranks in YouTube Search, Google results, AI Overviews, and gets cited by ChatGPT. Heist generates keyword-loaded titles, descriptions, tags, and hashtags for maximum search surface.
Real-Time Indexing
X posts are indexed by Google within minutes. Heist writes keyword-rich first sentences that rank in both X Search and Google SERPs — turning every tweet into a discoverable asset.
Keyword Consistency
Your Brain's keywords are woven consistently across every platform — building topical authority that algorithms reward. Same core terms on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and your blog.
Every post comes with searchKeywords — the exact keyword phrases Heist optimized for, so you can track what's driving discovery across platforms.
