How to use Duta

Six steps, once. After that, writing a post takes about a minute and publishing takes care of itself.

1. Step 1

   Create your Duta account

   Go to getduta.com/start and answer the ten short questions. It takes about two minutes. A card is asked for before the free trial begins, and nothing is charged until the eighth day.

2. Step 2

   Connect a social account

   Go to the Channels page and press Connect next to the platform you want. You will be sent to that platform to approve access, then returned to Duta.

   • One Facebook login connects every Page you administer, each as its own channel.
   • Instagram must be a professional account and linked to one of your Facebook Pages.
   • You can connect as many accounts as you like, and disconnect any of them later.
3. Step 3

   Write the post

   Press Write a post. Choose which channels should receive it, then type the post. Duta counts the characters the way each platform does and shows every limit at once.

   • X counts a link as 23 characters however long it is, and counts Chinese and Japanese characters double.
   • LinkedIn hides everything past roughly 210 characters behind a "see more" link, so Duta warns you when you pass it.
   • A post to X containing a link costs about thirteen times as much to publish, and Duta says so while you type.
4. Step 4

   Add photos or video

   Use the file picker under Photos and video. Duta reads each file and checks it against every channel the post is going to, while you are still writing.

   • If a file breaks a rule, Duta names the rule and the real value, such as "this video is 3:20, Threads accepts up to 5:00".
   • Give each image a description. It is what screen readers announce, and Duta sends it to every platform that accepts one.
   • Instagram takes up to ten images as a carousel.
5. Step 5

   Pick a time

   Choose when the post should go out. Times are in your own timezone, which Duta converts and stores correctly, so daylight saving and travelling do not move your post.

6. Step 6

   Press Schedule, and close the laptop

   Duta publishes from its own server. Your computer does not need to be on. The post appears on the Calendar, and once it has gone out it appears on the Published page with a link to the live post.

What each platform accepts

Using Duta from Claude or ChatGPT

Duta can be driven by an AI assistant instead of by this website. Connect one and you can say “post this to X and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9” in a chat, and Duta schedules it. Duta still does the publishing, and the assistant only tells it what to do, and it asks you before anything goes out.

Both ask for the same address: https://mcp.getduta.com

Before it connects, Duta shows you a screen naming what the assistant will be able to do: see your channels, check and schedule posts, cancel one that has not gone out. It cannot read your messages, change your password, or take back a post a platform has already shown. You can disconnect it at any time from Settings inside Duta.

If a post does not go out

Duta tries three times, waiting longer between each attempt. If the platform still refuses, Duta records the reason in plain language, marks that one channel as failed, and tells you. The other channels in the same post are unaffected. A refusal on X does not stop the same post reaching LinkedIn.
