This glossary defines the terminology used across BetterPost — in the app, in these docs, and in the tools your agent calls. Terms are listed alphabetically.

Credits

The unit of billing. Each generation spends credits. New visitors get ten free generations with no signup; after that you sign in and buy credits to keep going. There is no subscription — you pay only for what you use.

Demo mode

The signed-out experience. Your agent can connect and run its first ten generations with no account and no key. When the free generations run out, you sign in and claim your work, which moves your projects and drafts into your account.

Draft

A generated post — a newsletter, blog article, LinkedIn update, or social thread. Every draft is grounded in dated sources and written to sound like a person wrote it.

Generation

A single request that turns a topic or project into a finished draft. A generation finds sources, keeps what's recent and relevant, ranks it, and writes the post in one on-demand pass.

MCP server

The connection point for agents. BetterPost is exposed as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server over Streamable HTTP, so any MCP-capable client — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, and others — can call it directly.

Project

A saved workspace for a recurring topic, product, or audience. A project remembers your voice, instructions, and audience so repeat generations stay on brand.

Relevance

How closely a source matches your topic and audience. BetterPost ranks candidate sources by relevance and keeps only the most relevant, recent ones so a draft is built from material worth citing.

Source

A dated piece of material — from news, social, or the open web — used to ground a draft. Every source in a draft comes with a link you can check.

Voice

The way your writing sounds. BetterPost learns your voice from your instructions and past posts so drafts read like you, not like a template.
