How it works
AI plans it. A person ships it.
Zway runs growth marketing in two layers. An AI layer researches your company, writes the strategy, and drafts every asset against five source documents. A trained human operations team then publishes that work daily on your own channels, in your voice, and handles anything that needs judgement, standing, or a real conversation.

The source of truth
Everything reads from five documents.
Before anything ships, we write five documents about your company. Every agent and every operator reads them before doing any work. This is the whole quality control system: when output drifts, it is almost always because a document was wrong, and fixing the document fixes every asset downstream at once.
01-product.md
Product
What you have built, who it is for, how it actually works, and the three things it does better than the alternatives. Written from your demo and a founder interview, then approved by you.
02-market.md
Market
The buyer, the trigger that makes them look, the language they use for the problem, and where they already gather. This is the document that decides which channels are worth running.
03-competitors.md
Competitors
Who you lose to and why, in plain terms. Includes what each competitor is genuinely better at, because an operator who cannot concede a point is not credible in a real conversation.
04-voice.md
Voice
Sentence length, vocabulary, what you would never say, how you handle disagreement, and how much you swear. Built from your existing writing and calibrated against every draft you correct.
05-content-strategy.md
Content strategy
The themes you are trying to own, the claims you are allowed to make, and the topics that are off limits. Everything downstream is generated against this.
You own these documents. They are written in the first month, corrected by you, and refreshed as the company changes. An agency that starts over every month is really just rebuilding this context badly, every month, from scratch.
The machine layer
What the AI actually produces.
The AI layer does the work that scales: reading, planning, drafting, watching, and reporting. It produces artefacts, not decisions. Every output below lands in a queue that a human works from.
| Agent | What it produces |
|---|---|
| Research | Company, market, and competitor documents, refreshed monthly |
| Strategy | The 30-day plan: channels, volumes, owners, targets |
| Brief | Per-asset briefs with angle, audience, sources, and constraints |
| Draft | Posts, replies, articles, outreach, all in the approved voice |
| Monitor | Threads, mentions, and questions worth a human answering today |
| Report | Weekly results against target, and the plan diff for next week |
The human layer
Who actually posts, and how they are trained.
Operators are the product. They are hired for judgement rather than output speed, trained on your five documents before they touch an account, and assigned by channel fit rather than by whoever has capacity.
Growth operator
Owns the account. Runs the weekly plan, posts, replies, and decides what to escalate.
Community operator
Holds the accounts with standing. Participates in the subreddits, Discords, and forums where a new account gets ignored.
SEO operator
Ships technical fixes as pull requests, publishes briefs, and owns the AI-search prompt coverage.
Creative operator
Runs creator and UGC relationships past the first message, and owns the long-form calendar.
Training
Two weeks before touching a live account: platform norms, your five documents, and a supervised queue where every draft is reviewed by a senior operator.
Review gates
Anything naming a competitor, quoting a metric, making a claim about the product, or responding to criticism passes a second operator before it ships.
Escalation
Anything where a wrong move damages the brand permanently comes to you first. Operators are told explicitly that escalating is never penalised.
The operator roles are real jobs with real descriptions. If you want to see how we hire for them, they are listed on the careers page.
Your control
What you approve, and what runs without you.
You pick the approval mode per channel, and you can change it whenever you want. Nothing here is locked.
Full review
Weeks one and twoNothing ships without your explicit yes. Slower, and the right setting for regulated categories or a brand-new account.
Spot check
From week threeYou see everything in the queue and approve a sample. Operators ship the rest. Most companies settle here.
Autopilot
By requestNamed channels run without approval, with an escalation rule for anything sensitive. You still see every asset after it ships.
What we will not do
The limits are the product.
- We do not create fake personas, fake reviews, or sockpuppet accounts.
- We do not astroturf communities or manufacture organic-looking demand.
- We do not post from accounts you have not authorised.
- We do not claim results you did not get, on your site or on ours.
- We do not run a channel where the only way to win is to break its rules.
These are not disclaimers. They are the reason the work compounds. A community account that gets caught astroturfing is worth less than nothing, and it takes years to rebuild. The constraint is what makes the asset durable.
Read the full trust and ethics policyOnboarding
The first thirty days.
Day 1
Founder interview and product demo. The 30-day plan is written and sent the same day.
Day 3
The five documents are drafted and sent for your corrections. First assets drafted against them.
Day 7
First assets ship. Accounts, access, and approval mode are set. Voice is already being corrected against your edits.
Day 30
First full reporting cycle. The plan is rewritten against what actually worked, not against what we assumed.
