About Propelr
Propelr is a hosted AI post generator and scheduler for LinkedIn and X. During onboarding you paste three of your past posts, and it builds a style profile it calls Style DNA from sentence length, paragraph structure, hook patterns, formality, emoji habits and signature openers. Generated drafts are filtered through that profile so they read like your own writing.
A block-list of more than 30 common AI cliches is applied by default, can be viewed in settings and can be extended with your own phrases. Drafts can be edited inline and then scheduled or published, and the product lists native carousels and analytics. Posts are sent through LinkedIn's official Marketing Developer API rather than a Chrome extension or page scraping, which the site presents as the safer route for accounts.
A free AI slop detector lets you paste a LinkedIn post and see which AI-like signals it triggers, without signing up. The site also has a comparison page against Taplio, which it contrasts as API-only with no Chrome extension.
