Beacon runs H1L.

We publish H1L’s own posts, and our founder Derek Robinson’s, through Beacon.

Less to manage. More that sounds like you.

What Beacon does that a scheduler and a chatbot can’t do together.

FingerPrint™ learns your voice.

Your own posts and a guided interview map how you write and what you believe: tone, rhythm, the positions you hold. Once it is trained, Beacon drafts from that profile, not from a blank prompt.

FingerPrint Ashgrove Studio Illustrative · sample brand

Tone

Formality: 28%
Enthusiasm: 46%
Authority: 81%

Rhythm

Sentence length, post by post: short, short, then one that runs. Two or three sentences to a paragraph.

Positions you hold

“A brief beats a moodboard.”
“Design should earn its keep on a Tuesday, not in a portfolio.”
“No stock photography. Ever.”

Built from your writing and your interviewsEvery draft starts from this profile

AutoPilot™ runs the week.

Set your cadence and approval mode once. Beacon plans, drafts and schedules across all five platforms, and an anti-slop gate catches generic output before it publishes.

Ideas arrive
Radar trends, your RSS feeds and ideas you add yourself land in one queue.
02
Drafts form in your voice
Each idea becomes a draft written from your FingerPrint profile, not from a blank prompt.
03
The anti-slop gate says no
Every draft is scored before it can publish. Generic output is caught, not posted.
04
Scheduled across five platforms
Approved drafts are adapted to each platform’s format and spread across the week, in the approval mode you chose.

AI logo generators are everywhere
Last week I ran three AI logo tools on a real brief for a bakery in Leeds. All three gave us a wheat sheaf; not one asked about the brief. The owner, Priya, laughed and said her grandmother never baked bread.

New colour contrast guidance
I spent Tuesday checking our last 12 client palettes against the new contrast guidance. Four failed on small text — the grey captions, every time. Nobody had complained, which is exactly the problem.

Why the rebrand took six weeks
A client asked me why their rebrand took six weeks when Canva could do it in an afternoon. Fair question. Week one was 14 interviews with their staff.

Branding in 2026

We redesigned the menu at Harbour Street Cafe in March. Same dishes, same prices. I moved the soup from the bottom corner to the top left.

4 ideas became 11 posts across all five platforms. One draft never left the queue.

Illustrative sequence with a fictional brand. Gate scores come from the free scorer above, run on these sample drafts; Beacon runs the same kind of checks before publishing.

Also inside: DNA™ strategy, Radar™ trends, HeartBeat™ authority scoring and A/B testing. See everything in Beacon.

Mira, the strategist inside Beacon.

Mira works from your own brand, posts and numbers. Ask her by typing or out loud. She answers in context, then acts on it.

Mira is an AI: Beacon’s product manager and in-app assistant.

Mira Ashgrove Studio Illustrative · sample brand

How did last month go?
You published 14 posts in September. Your three top posts all opened with a client’s number, with 11, 9 and 8 comments. Your three lowest got 0, 1 and 1. 1198Top posts011Lowest Read from your posts and analytics
Where did the cardamom-bun story come from?
From a story you saved to your DNA on 12 September. I’ve added “Open next week’s posts with a client number” to your Plan of Action. Added to Plan of Action · based on comments on your top and lowest posts

Answers from your numbers: Ask how last month went. She reads the posts and analytics of the brand you’re working on and answers with the figures, not a help article.
Writes in your voice: Ask for a post on any topic and she drafts it from your FingerPrint™ profile.
Interviews you: She runs your FingerPrint interview: ten questions on your beliefs, voice and audience, with a follow-up when an answer is thin. She can save the stories and numbers you tell her to your DNA™.
Keeps a Plan of Action: Her recommendations are saved as tasks, each with the figure it rests on, so she can follow up next time.
Screens drafts before you do: AutoPilot™ drafts waiting for your approval are screened every day. Problems are flagged with the reason, the most serious first.
Shows her sources: Ask where a name or a line came from and she finds it in your own writing samples or DNA.

Most people who post on social end up paying for a scheduler, an AI writer, a LinkedIn tool and a listening tool, and then do the stitching by hand. H1L (One Human Left) built Beacon to be those jobs in one place, written in your voice.

Estimated total price for one user, monthly billing, entry plans, as listed on each vendor’s pricing page on 1 November 2026. Prices change; sources below. Beacon Solo includes up to 2 users, 2 brands and 10 social accounts.

Sources: Buffer, Jasper, AuthoredUp, Syften pricing pages.

Also included in every Beacon plan, with no like-for-like price we could verify, so no number: HeartBeat (comment scoring and authority tracking), A/B testing, AfterBurn (formats and series), Blog Hub and Mira.

These tools do different jobs in different ways, and some are better at their one job than Beacon is at that part of it. This is a cost comparison of the capabilities, not a claim that each feature is identical. Beacon has a 7-day Solo trial; card required, not charged until day 8.

Publishing goes through each platform’s own API.

Questions

Anything else: contact us.

What is Beacon?

Beacon writes and publishes your social posts in your own voice. FingerPrint learns how you write, then Beacon drafts, schedules and publishes posts that sound like you across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X and Bluesky. H1L's AI team built it and runs its own posts through it.

Do I need a credit card to start the trial?

Yes. The 7-day trial is on the Solo plan and requires a card. You won’t be charged during the trial — if you cancel before day 8, you pay nothing.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

Your card is charged $79 and you continue on the Solo plan. Cancel any time after that with no long-term contract, or upgrade to Team or Pro whenever you outgrow Solo.

Does the trial work on Team or Pro?

No. The 7-day trial is Solo-only. Start on Solo, then upgrade to Team or Pro at any time — your FingerPrint voice model and content carry over.

Is there a free plan?

No — on purpose. Beacon is a paid product for people who need results, not a permanently free tier subsidized by ads or upsells.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a writing assistant. Beacon is a publishing platform. ChatGPT can draft a post, but it can’t post to any platform, schedule content, manage multiple accounts or track performance. For consistent content across five platforms in your own voice, you need a system that generates, schedules, publishes and measures.

How does Beacon compare to Buffer?

Buffer schedules content you’ve already written. Beacon writes it in your voice with FingerPrint, plans it with DNA, and then schedules and publishes it.

What platforms does Beacon support?

LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter) and Bluesky. Content is adapted to each platform’s format automatically.

Post in your own voice, starting this week.
