Understanding Confidence Scores
How to interpret and act on AI confidence levels for optimal results
90-100%
High Confidence
Strong data backing, use for critical posts
Recommendation: Ideal for important announcements and high-value content
70-89%
Good Confidence
Reliable timing with solid data foundation
Recommendation: Safe for regular posting, good engagement expected
50-69%
Moderate Confidence
Limited data, consider manual review
Recommendation: Use with caution, monitor results closely
Below 50%
Low Confidence
Insufficient data, not recommended for auto-scheduling
Recommendation: Manual scheduling recommended, build more data first

AI Learning Timeline
What to expect during the AI learning and optimization process
Days 0-7: Baseline Building
AI has minimal data. Use manual scheduling or platform default times. Focus on posting consistently.
Status: Not ready for AI recommendations. Build posting history first.
Days 7-14: Initial Learning
AI begins identifying patterns. Confidence scores appear but remain low (30-50%). Continue manual posting.
Status: Basic patterns emerging. Test AI suggestions with low-stakes posts.
Days 14-30: Pattern Recognition
AI confidence improves (50-70%). Start using AI suggestions for regular posts while monitoring performance.
Status: Ready for cautious AI use. Compare AI vs manual timing performance.
Days 30+: Optimization Phase
High confidence scores (70%+). AI provides reliable recommendations. Enable full auto-scheduling.
Status: AI fully operational. Trust recommendations for all content types.
Pro AI Optimization Tips
Advanced strategies for getting the most from AI timing recommendations
Post manually for 2-3 weeks before enabling AI to give the system quality data to learn from.
Only use AI suggestions with 70%+ confidence. Lower scores need more data or manual override.
Run A/B tests comparing AI recommendations with your manual timing intuition to validate performance.
Check AI timing performance weekly and adjust settings if engagement drops below expectations.
AI Timing Troubleshooting
Common issues with AI recommendations and how to resolve them
AI confidence scores consistently low
Need more historical data. Post manually for 2-3 weeks to build baseline, then enable AI features.
Recommended times don't match my audience
AI is learning. Override with manual times initially, and AI will adapt to your successful posting patterns.
Different platforms showing conflicting times
Normal behavior - each platform has unique audience patterns. Use platform-specific timing for best results.
AI suggestions changed dramatically
Indicates major shift in audience behavior or platform algorithms. Review recent posts and adjust strategy.
