What does a one-person AI-assisted social workflow look like (calendar to drafts to publishing)?

The working pattern is one weekly session: pick angles from a content calendar, batch-draft with ChatGPT or Claude against your voice doc, add real stories and numbers by hand, then schedule everything through a tool like Buffer or Typefully (or an n8n automation if you like plumbing). Your job shrinks to choosing angles, personalizing, and hitting approve. Keep that approval step even when an agent prepares the drafts: X's terms from October 2026 make you responsible for actions a tool takes on your behalf.
