Will this get my LinkedIn account banned?

No. Poised publishes through LinkedIn's official API using the permission you grant, and never scrapes. Scraping is what gets accounts restricted.

What exactly is automated?

Everything except approval: idea selection, writing, the first comment, the image, the carousel PDF, scheduling, and publishing at the right time in your timezone.

Does it invent things about me?

It writes with specifics because vague posts do not work, but every invented figure is wrapped in brackets so you can see exactly what to replace, and approval is refused while any remain.

Poised.

Alternatives / ChatGPT / Claude

ChatGPT / Claude alternative

TL;DR. Many people draft LinkedIn posts by prompting ChatGPT or Claude manually each time. Poised is the better fit when you want a LinkedIn positioning thesis, five posts a week on an approval calendar, and publishing through LinkedIn's official API — not a blank page and not a multi-network social suite.

Why people look for a ChatGPT / Claude alternative

You reinvent context in every chat — profile, offers, banned phrases, stories.
Nothing turns drafts into an approved calendar that publishes on time.
Outputs still sound like a language model unless you fight them.
