Put your first AI employee to work: three steps, start to finish.

You run a business, so you already wear every hat. Posting to Facebook, answering messages late at night, keeping a Telegram channel alive — it is the work that always slips. Most days it just does not happen.

Here is the good news. You can hand all of it off — and you do it by talking, not by learning a new tool. Open the ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini app you already use, paste in one address, and from there your own assistant does the setting up for you, in your own words and your own language. Three steps, start to finish: your accounts get connected, a month of posts gets planned, and your AI employee starts answering your messages. After that it runs on its own, and you get back to the work only you can do. Let's walk through it.


Step 1

Connect your channels

Start by linking the places your customers already find you: Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram. Tell your assistant which ones you use — in plain words, the way you would tell a new hire — and it takes it from there. Connecting simply means you give SmashOne permission to post and reply for you: you approve each account once, and that channel is ready. All three together take about ten minutes.

You stay in control the whole time. Nothing goes out that you did not plan, and any channel can be disconnected by saying so in the same chat. Think of it like handing a trusted helper the keys — you decide what they can touch, and you can take the keys back whenever you want.


Step 2

Load a month of posts

This is the part that saves you the most time. Instead of posting one thing at a time, all week long, you sit down once and plan the whole month in front of you.

Plan a whole month in one sitting, while your notes are in front of you.

Describe the month to your assistant — a special this week, a photo of what's new, a friendly reminder about your hours — and it lays the posts out on the schedule for you. You can plan up to five posts a day, which is more than enough for almost any business. Do it all in one sitting, and the plan takes care of the rest. Each post goes out at the time you picked, on every channel you chose, without you lifting a finger.

You describe the month once, in your own words — then it takes care of itself.

Think in themes, not single posts

Give each day a job. Monday is a behind-the-scenes shot, Wednesday is a customer favorite, Friday is the weekend plan. Once you have a rhythm, filling a month takes less time than you would guess — and your feed stays steady instead of going quiet for two weeks at a stretch.


Step 3

Switch on AI replies

The last step handles your messages. Customers send DMs at all hours — are you open Sunday, do you have this in blue, how much for a trim. You tell your assistant your hours, your prices and your services the way you would brief a new hire, and your AI employee answers the routine ones for you from exactly those details.

Routine questions get answered day and night, in your own words.

Your plan includes 1,000 AI replies a month — plenty for steady, day-to-day questions. Every customer sees a short note that they are chatting with an AI employee, so no one is fooled. And when a conversation needs a real person — a complaint, a custom order, anything tricky — it hands the chat straight to you. You can also turn your AI employee off for any single channel if you would rather answer those yourself.

What it costs

Each AI employee includes one channel. The price is on the site. Setup is self-service and free.

What tomorrow morning looks like

You don't have to think about any of it. Your first posts go out while you are unlocking the door. The messages that came in overnight already have answers waiting. You pour your coffee, open the inbox, and skim what's there — replying only to the few that truly need you.

The rest is handled. That is the whole point: your social media keeps working, steady and present, even on the days you can't get to it. Setup happens once, and your shop is always answering — so you can spend your time on the part of the business that needed you all along.
