What Yaybird is for
Your AI writes. You keep the say.
Agents cannot approve
An AI connected to Yaybird can draft, check and ask. No tool it can call publishes or approves, so the post waits for a person.
Brand rules that block
Words you never use, claims you never make and house style are checked on every draft. A draft that breaks one stops, with the reason.
Approve on your phone
Each post shows as it will look on every platform, with a push to your phone when one is waiting.
Posted means live
A post is marked posted only when the platform confirms it and gives back the live link.
Fair is fair

Questions
Yaybird or Postiz?
Does Postiz have approvals?
It has a preview link where someone can comment. Postiz’s docs say approval is a conversation, not a state, and nothing blocks publishing. In Yaybird an agent’s post cannot go out until a person approves it.
Can I self-host Yaybird?
No. Yaybird is hosted only. If self-hosting matters most, Postiz is the better fit.
