What if you could use your existing content and artificial intelligence to automate social media posting to all accounts and boost your engagement rates at the same time?

Kate Bradley Chernis is the Founder & CEO of Lately, a startup with a platform that uses AI to autogenerate podcasts, videos and text articles into social posts that drive engagement.
Lately works with rich media too. You can use it to autogenerate social media posts with audio and video clips attached as well. That's how Gary Vee is using it.

Gary Vaynerchuck is powering Gary Vee TV, a new Twitter feed he launched in April, with Lately autogenerated video clips. The account, which is nearly 100% automated, has already got close to 10k followers.

Jason Calacanis is an investor in the company, which emerged as the winner from LAUNCH ACCELERATOR program's demo day.
Lately's Aha Moment
Kate used to run a marketing agency.
She came up with the idea of using AI to autogenerate social media posts while manually managing social media editorial calendars with spreadsheets for Walmart.
While she mastered social media engagement and brand storytelling, generating a 130% ROI for her client, the process was a backbreaker. She knew there had to be a better way.
