# Platforms & AI Models

Social Neuron connects to major social platforms for publishing and pulls from a wide roster of AI model families for content generation. This page covers every platform and every model available to you.

## Social Platforms

### Publishing and Scheduling

| Platform | Status | What you can do |
|----------|--------|-----------------|
| YouTube | Publishing live | Upload videos and Shorts, set titles/descriptions/tags, custom thumbnails, schedule, full analytics |
| TikTok | Publishing live | Upload videos, captions, privacy settings, content disclosure, schedule, analytics |
| Instagram | Publishing live | Posts, Reels, schedule, comments, analytics |
| X / Twitter | Publishing live | Posts, threads, schedule, analytics |
| LinkedIn | Connect + publish (early access) | Text posts, schedule, analytics |
| Bluesky | Connect + publish (early access) | Native posting via the AT Protocol (app password), schedule, analytics |
| Facebook | Pending Meta review | Publishing paused pending Meta App Review on the shared publish permission |
| Pinterest | Planned | Pins, boards |

### Analytics by Platform

| Metric | YouTube | TikTok | Instagram | LinkedIn |
|--------|---------|--------|-----------|----------|
| Views | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Likes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Comments | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Shares | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Engagement rate | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Watch time | Yes | Yes | -- | -- |
| Audience demographics | Yes | Yes | Yes | Partial |

Analytics refresh automatically after you publish (at 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours), and the AI learning loop feeds performance data back into your ideation engine. The more you publish through Social Neuron, the smarter your content suggestions become.

### Cross-Platform Adaptation

When you publish the same content to multiple platforms, Social Neuron handles the differences automatically. A vertical video created for TikTok gets reformatted for YouTube Shorts. A long-form caption written for LinkedIn gets trimmed and hashtagged for Instagram. Brand Brain ensures the voice stays consistent even as the format changes.

**Example workflow:** You write a content brief about a product launch. Social Neuron generates a 30-second video for TikTok (9:16, punchy hook, trending audio style), a 60-second version for YouTube Shorts (with more detail), and a carousel-style caption for LinkedIn (professional tone, data points). One brief, three platform-native outputs.

## AI Models

Social Neuron integrates AI models across five categories, spanning families like Veo, Kling, and Sora-class. In Easy Mode, the platform selects the best model for your task and budget automatically. In Pro Mode, you choose the exact model and parameters.

Credit costs are listed below. Credits are usage units, not a fixed price peg -- each model has a published credit cost.

### Video Generation (14 models)

#### Fixed-Price Models

| Model | Credits | Best for | Max Duration | Max Resolution | Audio | Image-to-Video |

| Hailuo 02 Standard | 45 | Strong motion at mid-tier cost | 10s | 768p | No | Yes |
| Luma Dream Machine | 100 | Dreamlike, stylized visuals | 10s | 1080p | No | Yes |
| Wan 2.6 | 105 | Narrative video, multi-shot | 15s | 1080p | No | Yes |
| Midjourney Video | 150 | Cinematic style and composition | 10s | 1080p | No | Yes |
| Seedance 1.5 Pro | 150 | Premium motion and animation | 12s | 1080p | No | Yes |
| Veo Fast | 200 | Google's fastest video model | 10s | 1080p | Yes | No |
| Runway Aleph | 340 | Cinematic, Gen-4 quality | 40s | 1080p | No | No |
| Sora 2 | 500 | OpenAI cinematic standard | 10s | 1080p | No | No |
| Veo Quality | 1,000 | Google's highest quality video | 10s | 4K | Yes | No |
| Sora 2 Pro | 1,500 | Extended duration, premium quality | 20s | 1080p | No | No |

#### Dynamic Pricing Models (billed per second)

| Model | Credits/sec | Best for | Max Duration | Max Resolution | Audio | Image-to-Video |
|-------|------------|----------|-------------|---------------|-------|----------------|
| Kling 3.0 | 20 | Cinematic quality with native audio | 15s | 4K | Yes | Yes |
| Kling 3.0 Pro | 27 | Highest quality Kling tier | 15s | 4K | Yes | Yes |

**Recommended starting points:** Grok Imagine for quick drafts (30 credits), Veo Fast for production quality with audio (200 credits), Kling 3.0 for 4K with audio (~100 credits for 5s).

:::tip
Kling models use dynamic pricing billed per second. A 5-second clip on Kling 3.0 costs 100 credits; a full 2-minute video costs 2,400 credits. Use shorter durations for drafts, then extend your best takes.

Text generation powers ideation, captions, scripts, hashtag research, and the AI learning loop. Most text operations cost 1-5 credits.

### Avatar Models (7 models)

| Model | Credits | Best for |
|-------|---------|----------|

| HeyGen Avatar IV | 1,200 | Premium AI avatars, highest fidelity |

Avatar models power the Avatar Lab for UGC-style talking head videos. Write or generate a script, choose a presenter, and produce a video -- no camera needed. The fal.ai models (Aurora and OmniHuman) support uploading your own face photo for a custom avatar.

### How Brand Brain Works Across Models

Regardless of which model generates your content, Brand Brain injects your voice, audience, and visual identity context into every prompt. This means a video from Veo and an image from Midjourney both reflect your brand -- even though they come from completely different AI providers.

Brand Brain adapts its context injection based on the content type:

- **Text models** receive your tone, vocabulary, audience persona, and messaging pillars
- **Image models** receive your color palette, visual style preferences, and aesthetic direction
- **Video models** receive your pacing preferences, visual style, and audio tone

:::note
Easy Mode factors in both quality and cost when selecting a model. If you are on a Starter plan with 500 credits/month, Easy Mode will favor cost-effective models like Flux Kontext Pro and Grok Imagine. On Pro, Team, or Agency plans, it leans toward higher-quality options.
