Cross-platform short-form
Most creators waste an hour a day cross-posting by hand. Post Bridge replaces that hour with one upload form. CapCut handles the edit, Claude tailors captions per platform (algorithms reward different tones), Post Bridge schedules the lot.
TikTok captions ride a different algorithm than YouTube Shorts descriptions. Claude rewrites a single source caption into 6 platform-shaped variants in one prompt.
Native API integrations with the major short-form platforms. Reliable; the most-loved part by users is the unified analytics that show which platform actually drives views per video.

Usage and Cost Analytics API launched in beta to track token consumption and costs
Anthropic released the Usage and Cost Analytics API in beta, enabling organizations to monitor token usage and costs across Claude API consumption with filtering and grouping by dimensions like model, workspace, and API key. The API provides /v1/organizations/analytics/usage and /v1/organizations/analytics/cost endpoints. Legacy usage reporting endpoints remain supported.
Messages API and Token Counting API maximum request size increased to 128 MB
The maximum request size for the Messages API and Token Counting API doubled from 32 MB to 128 MB on the first-party Claude API, allowing developers to process significantly larger payloads in single requests. This change takes effect immediately and applies to both APIs.
Claude Tag API released in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations on Slack
The Claude Tag API is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations, providing endpoints to read and configure Claude Tag settings on Slack channels and workspaces with Access bundle support. The API requires Admin API keys with read:claude_tag or write:claude_tag scope. This feature is exclusive to Claude Enterprise.

- 2Caption pass with ClaudeClaude
One Claude turn per video → 6 platform-shaped caption variants.
Prompt · Per-platform caption rewriterTake the source caption below and rewrite it for 6 platforms. Each platform's caption follows its native algorithm and audience expectation. Source caption (write this once, optimized for TikTok): """ {{paste TikTok-style caption}} """ Video summary (so context isn't lost): """ {{1 sentence: what the video is about + the 1 key takeaway}} """ Output, in this order: 1. **TikTok** — exactly the source caption, lightly edited for hooks. 150 chars max. 2. **Instagram Reels** — 220 chars max. Slightly more polished tone. 1 to 3 hashtags at end. 3. **YouTube Shorts** — 100 chars (title) + 200 chars (description). Searchable phrasing matters here. 4. **X** — 220 chars. Lead with the hook. No hashtags. 5. **LinkedIn** — 600 chars. Conversational, professional, 1 line break per sentence. End with a single specific question. 6. **Threads** — 300 chars. Punchier than IG. No hashtags. Constraints across all six: - No "in this video", no "watch till the end". - One concrete number, name, or example. - No emojis unless the source caption uses them. - No em dashes. - 3Schedule in Post BridgePost Bridge
One upload, attach the 6 captions, set posting times per platform (IG Reels: 7pm local; YT Shorts: morning; TikTok: anytime; X: 9am).
- 4Read the analyticsPost Bridge
Post Bridge unified view tells you which platform drove the views. Double down where the watch time is. Don't chase platforms with low retention.
Switched from posting-by-hand to this stack. Daily output stayed constant; time spent on distribution dropped from 50 to 12 min/day. Discovered (via Post Bridge analytics) that 65% of views came from YT Shorts, not TikTok — reallocated thumbnail attention accordingly.
Each platform's algorithm rewards different things. The whole point of the Claude step is per-platform variants. Skipping this kills reach by ~30% based on creator surveys.
TikTok prime time is not LinkedIn prime time. Use Post Bridge's per-platform scheduling, not the 'post now to all' button.
