Question 1

What is Volume?

Accepted Answer

Volume makes TikTok and Instagram slideshows for your app or product, and you can use it two ways. Set up a campaign: paste a link to your site or App Store listing, choose the account and schedule, and Volume creates and posts content for you, with no manual posting required. Or connect the AI tool you already use, like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex, and your agent builds slideshows in the Volume editor while you watch. Both use the same templates, editor, libraries, and brand kit.

Question 2

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Connecting your AI agent takes a minute or two, and your first slideshow can be ready a few minutes later. Your first campaign takes about 30 minutes, which covers signing up, creating the campaign, connecting a TikTok account, and starting it. Once it's running, it keeps running, and every campaign after the first goes much faster.

Question 3

Do I need to film anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Volume includes a built-in photo library, so nothing needs to be shot. You can also upload your own images or generate them with AI.

Question 4

Will the posts look AI-made?

Accepted Answer

Volume's library is built on real photos of real people, not AI-generated faces, so posts made from it look like organic content. AI image generation is available if you want it, but it's an option, not the default.

Question 5

Should I use a campaign or my AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Use a campaign when you want steady, hands-off posting to an account every day. Use your AI agent when you want to build a specific slideshow: a new idea, a format you saw somewhere, or a one-off for a launch. Many people do both. They let campaigns handle daily posting and use their agent to test new formats.

Question 6

What is a campaign?

Accepted Answer

A campaign posts for you on a schedule. You tell it what the posts should be about, how the writing should sound, and which images to pull from. Then you choose the account it posts to, how often it posts, and what time each post goes out. Once you start it, the campaign handles everything from there.

Each campaign posts to one account, so you can run several in parallel across different accounts.

Question 7

What's the difference between a Slideshow and a Stitch?

Accepted Answer

A slideshow is a series of images posted as a carousel. It opens with a hook slide, moves through value slides in the middle, and closes with a call-to-action slide directing viewers to download your app or check out your product.

A Stitch is a series of video clips. It opens with a hook clip to stop the scroll and ends with a call-to-action clip showing your product in action. Stitches are coming soon.

Question 8

How do libraries work?

Accepted Answer

A library is a collection of images that you connect to a campaign. When the campaign runs, it pulls from that library to build the post. If you've connected a library to your hook slide, each post uses a different image from that collection.

Most campaigns pull from several libraries at once. You'll typically build one library for hook images, another for your call-to-action slides, and others for the slides in between. The same library can feed multiple campaigns, and your AI agent can use your libraries too.

Question 9

Do I approve posts before they go out, or does it post on its own?

Accepted Answer

For campaigns, that's up to you. By default, posts are sent to your drafts so you can review and publish them yourself, which is a good way to warm up a new account and the safer way to start. Or you can let the campaign publish directly, with no approval step. Most people switch to direct posting once their account is established.

Slideshows your AI agent builds never post on their own. You download them, or schedule them to a connected TikTok account, either yourself or by asking your agent. Anything scheduled can be cancelled before it goes out.

Question 10

Which AI tools work with Volume?

Accepted Answer

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. Volume connects to them through MCP, a standard way for AI tools to work inside other apps.

Question 11

How do I connect my agent?

Accepted Answer

Click Connect your agent in Volume. You'll find it in the sidebar, the editor's top bar, and the Editor home page. Pick your tool and follow the steps. For a full walkthrough, read our guide.

Question 12

Do I need to know how to code?

Accepted Answer

No. In Claude or ChatGPT, you add Volume as a connector in settings, then describe the slideshow you want in plain English.

Question 13

What can my agent do in Volume?

Accepted Answer

It can build slideshows from a template or from scratch, and write or rewrite any slide. It can apply your brand colors, fonts, and logos. It can add images from your libraries, from stock photos, or generated with AI. It renders the slides to check the layout before handing them back. It can also make another version for a different audience or platform, and schedule finished slideshows to your connected TikTok accounts.

Question 14

Can I copy a format I saw on TikTok or Instagram?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste the post's link into your AI tool and ask it to recreate the format with Volume. Your agent reads the slides and rebuilds the structure with your content.

Question 15

Can I edit what my agent makes?

Accepted Answer

Everything is fully editable. Change it by hand in the editor, or tell your agent what to change and watch the slides update.

Question 16

Which platforms can I post to?

Accepted Answer

TikTok. Volume can post and schedule directly to your connected TikTok accounts. You can also make slideshows in Instagram's 4:5 size and download them to post yourself. Scheduling to Instagram and Facebook is coming soon.

Question 17

How many accounts can I connect?

Accepted Answer

As many as you'd like. There's no limit on connected accounts, though your plan sets how many posts you can make each month across all of them.

Question 18

How do I connect an account?

Accepted Answer

Log in to TikTok and connect it to Volume. If you're connecting a new account, make sure you're signed out of any other TikTok accounts first, otherwise you won't be able to connect the one you want.

Question 19

How much does Volume cost?

Accepted Answer

Core is $29.99/month and includes 60 posts and 100 AI image credits. Pro is $69.99/month and includes 300 posts and 400 AI image credits. Both include unlimited accounts and campaigns, AI agent access, and Analytics. Annual billing gets you two months free. There's also a custom plan for teams that need something more tailored.

Question 20

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial, and your card isn't charged until it ends.

Question 21

What happens if I hit my post limit?

Accepted Answer

Each plan includes a set number of posts per month. Once you reach that limit, you won't be able to schedule any more posts until it resets at the start of the next month. Nothing already scheduled is affected, and Volume will warn you before you get there. You can upgrade at any time to raise your limit. Slideshows you download don't count toward your post limit.

AI image generation runs on a separate credit balance that also resets monthly. Running out of credits means you can't generate new images, but it doesn't affect posting. Your campaigns keep running on the images already in your libraries.

Question 22

How do I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings to cancel your subscription at any time. You'll keep access through the end of your current billing period.

Question 23

What does Analytics track?

Accepted Answer

Analytics shows views, likes, comments, and shares across your posts, along with a per-account breakdown of followers, posts, views, and engagement rate. You can also see your top-performing posts, views by day, and a full sortable list of everything you've published. All of it can be filtered by account and time period.

Question 24

How do I connect RevenueCat, and what does it show me?

Accepted Answer

Go to Settings, then Integrations, to connect RevenueCat. Once connected, your Analytics page shows active trials, active subscriptions, MRR, revenue, new customers, and active users alongside your content metrics, so you can see how your posting is translating into revenue.

Question 25

How do I start a new TikTok page?

Accepted Answer

1. Create a TikTok account.

2. Warm it up. Scroll and engage with posts on your For You page for 5 to 10 minutes a day, for about 2 to 3 days. Don't post during this period.

3. Start posting 1 to 2 times a day, but keep scrolling and engaging for at least 5 to 10 minutes daily. This signals to TikTok that a real person is using the account.

Question 26

Do I need to warm up my account?

Accepted Answer

Warming up an account means showing TikTok that a real person is using it: scrolling, watching, liking, commenting, following. It matters because an account that only ever posts, and never consumes, looks automated, and TikTok tends to limit its reach.

Brand new account: yes, warm it up. Two to three days is plenty.

Dormant for a while: yes, warm it up. Two to three days is plenty.

Already use it daily but don't post on it: no, you're fine to start posting.

While the account is settling in, send posts to drafts and publish them yourself rather than switching on direct posting straight away. And keep engaging after you start posting, not just before.

Question 27

How often should I be posting?

Accepted Answer

Consistency matters more than anything else. Post every day. Aim for one to two posts daily to start, and more if you can. The more you post, the more chances you have of a post taking off.

Question 28

Why am I getting 0 views?

Accepted Answer

Almost always because the account hasn't been warmed up enough, and TikTok is limiting its reach as a result. Zero views is a signal that something is wrong with the account, not with the content.

The fix is to stop posting and use the account normally for a few days: scroll, like, comment, follow. Then post once and see where it lands. If views come back, ramp up slowly from there.

This is worth distinguishing from low views. If you're consistently getting a couple of hundred views rather than zero, the account is fine and it's the content that needs work.

Question 29

How do I make 10+ accounts quickly?

Accepted Answer

Create them yourself. Set up a fresh email address for each one and sign up for TikTok with it. Gmail works, as do Yahoo, Outlook, or any other provider.

Question 30

Is it better to buy or create accounts?

Accepted Answer

Create a fresh account. We don't recommend buying one. A purchased account can come with problems you can't see, including having already been flagged, and you have no way to verify its history.

There's also a mistaken assumption behind buying accounts: that the existing followers will carry your posts. They won't, particularly if the account was built in a different niche. TikTok's algorithm is driven far more by the quality of the post than by follower count.

Question 31

What should my strategy be?

Accepted Answer

Make content your target audience actually wants to watch, and introduce your product inside it. The order matters: people come for the content, and discover the product along the way.

This is why straight ads don't work here. If a post has no value on its own, nobody shares it, likes it, or comments on it, and without that engagement the post doesn't get distributed. The content has to earn its reach before it can sell anything.

Question 32

What should my posts be about?

Accepted Answer

Start with your niche. If you're building a calorie tracking app, your content should be about food and tracking, not whatever happens to be trending. The audience you want has to recognize the content as being for them.

From there, research beats guesswork. Look at what competitors in your space are posting: which hooks they use, which formats, which styles. Take what's working and adapt it. If you find a post that's working, paste the link into your AI agent and have it adapt the format for you in Volume.

Then test. Run different styles and formats, see which ones get traction, and double down on the ones that do. The accounts that grow fastest are the ones that figure out what works and then repeat it.

Question 33

Why the slideshow format?

Accepted Answer

Slideshows are versatile. They work for effectively any business, with no filming, no face on camera, and no ad budget. They're also well suited to delivering value, because written text on a slide lets you make a point directly in a way video often can't. It's a proven format, and plenty of apps and products have grown on it.

Question 34

What slideshow format works best for my business?

Accepted Answer

Lists and rankings tend to perform well. People respond to numbers, ordered lists, opinions, and hot takes.

Whatever format you pick, tie it to the value your product delivers. A golf app might post ways to improve your swing; a cooking app might post the best recipes for a particular occasion. The content should be useful on its own, and your product should be the natural next step for anyone who found it useful.

Question 35

How do I sell my product in these posts?

Accepted Answer

There are two approaches: a hard call to action and a soft one.

A hard CTA gives your product its own slide, usually at the end. You name it, show it working, and tell people where to get it. Every campaign includes a dedicated call-to-action slide, and Volume gives you the tools to build it out, including an app shot feature and a "Download on the App Store" badge.

A soft CTA is lighter. Your product comes up naturally inside the content, mentioned in passing without the post turning into an ad.

Both are worth trying.

Question 36

Do I need a link in bio?

Accepted Answer

No. TikTok doesn't let you add one until you reach 1,000 followers, so it isn't an option for most new accounts anyway. Your call-to-action slide can point people to your website or name your app so they can find it in the App Store directly, which covers the same ground.
