An open-source social media scheduler pivoted to work with AI agents and its founder says it went from $17K to $143K MRR in four months
Nevo rebuilt Postiz so people schedule posts through agentic tools like Claude and ChatGPT, and growth took off after a viral article on X.
Subject: Postiz (Nevo)Subscription social media scheduling tool built to be driven by AI agents
Case Overview & Background
Nevo built Postiz, a tool that posts to more than 30 social platforms. After a year and a half it was at about $21K MRR. He then pivoted it into an agentic scheduling tool, so users can schedule posts by asking AI agents instead of clicking in a dashboard. A creator's article on X about automating TikTok with Postiz got millions of views, and MRR grew by about $1K a day.

Limitations, Risks & Failure Modes
What may not apply to you, and what could go wrong:
- The figures are self-reported and were not independently checked
- Growth that depends on viral posts can slow suddenly
- Social platforms can change their rules on automated posting
Key Takeaways
- Making an existing tool work with AI agents can reopen growth
- One public workflow demo can drive more signups than months of ads
