Why agent-first Mastodon management beats manual scheduling
Traditional social tools make you do the work: open the app, write the post, pick a time, hit schedule. With Perplexity + Bolta you describe what you want and the agent handles the rest.
Your Mastodon content gets optimized for the platform automatically, in the right format, at the right length, at the right time. No copy-pasting between tools, no reformatting the same idea for every network.
