Schedule Instagram posts and carousels with AI
Connect an Instagram Business or Creator account, write captions with Claude, and let Orbin publish on schedule.
Orbin is an Instagram post scheduler for Business and Creator accounts connected to a Facebook Page. Write or generate a caption, attach an image or carousel, choose a time, and Orbin publishes it. It can also draft AI replies to comments on your posts.
How to schedule Instagram posts with Orbin
Connect your account
Connect through Facebook with the Page your Instagram Business or Creator account is linked to.
Add media and a caption
Instagram posts need at least one image or video. Write the caption yourself or let Claude draft it in your brand voice.
Schedule it
Pick a date and time on the shared calendar. Orbin checks the image against Instagram’s feed requirements before it publishes.

Requirements and limits

What works on Instagram
Orbin's AI writes Instagram posts in a visual, expressive, friendly style, within the 2,200-character limit, and suggests 5-10 hashtags per post. These are the habits it follows:
- Write a scroll-stopping first line (it shows before "more")
- Reference the visual; the caption complements the image
- Group hashtags at the end, not mid-sentence
- Tasteful emoji use adds personality
