This week, we shipped four new features to help you move even faster in Blaze.
Thumbnail Previews
We made Blaze more visual to better serve the needs of your business. Now, every calendar tile has a thumbnail preview AND hover preview, so you can double check your content before it goes live.
Want to see a larger preview? Hover over any calendar card or table line item for 2 seconds, and the preview will pop up!
The Easy Button
Sometimes, you just need a shortcut.
So we built you one – next time you want to brainstorm, generate content, or design an Instagram post, just use the easy button to quickly get what you want.
We built this for you because our 'Create New' menu has grown to accommodate every small business need, which can feel overwhelming for some customers.
So, next time, you want to create something fast, just click "Make this easy for me" under the main create menu on your Home screen!
One-Click Copy and Download Post Content
Now you can export your content from Blaze in one click – copy your text and download your images to easily transfer your content onto another platform.
Calendar View File Menu
Want to get more done in less time?
Now you can move, copy, share, and delete directly from your project's calendar view by right clicking on any file.
Enhancements
Today marks a step change for Blaze’s capabilities. Introducing the Blaze Designer, a first-in-class, AI-native visual studio that creates beautiful, one click content in your unique brand style in seconds.
Create 60+ new types of visual content: Instagram posts, product shots for online marketplaces, profile pictures, and so much more, with AI generated images and captions, all in your brand style. Start from thousands of professionally designed templates in Blaze or build your own.
Best of all, have Blaze schedule and post up to one month's worth of content automatically for you, straight to your social accounts.
1. Meet your new visual content wizards
Open the create new menu to see all the visual content options. Select your platform, template, and topic then sit back and watch the magic.
If you are a current user, don't worry: we have not changed the existing text-based wizards that you use in your workflows today so you can ease into using the Designer.
2. One-click brand styles pulled from social
Creating your brand style is as easy as logging into your social account. Blaze will analyze your feed and automatically set up your brand style in a flash.
3. AI designer gives you full control
Add your logo, stickers, text, and custom colors on a powerful canvas that will create your caption, too.
4. Templates for every small business
Ecomm sale? We got it. Real estate post? No problem. Life coach focused on relational health for married couples? There's something here for you, too.
5. Image tools that do the work for you
Make iphone snaps look like studio work. Remove backgrounds. Change opacity. Add a border. Put your best foot forward with the image tools in Blaze.
We just added more control over scheduling options in multiple post content wizards. Now you can define custom posting cadences and even select specific posting times to make your calendar planning even faster.
This feature is available in all multiple post wizards: Blog, IG, X, LI, and FB. On the final screen of the wizard, select the "Let me pick my days" option to customize your scheduling.
Analytics dashboard tracking follower counts for connected social accounts
This month, we're excited to announce two new features that will help you get more organic traffic and attract more customers: Turn Into and One-Click Wizards. 🎉
With 'Turn Into,' you can turn any file into 50+ pieces of original content. So take those videos and podcasts you worked so hard on, and turn them into blog posts, newsletters, and social media content.
We built one-click wizards because you told us you didn't want to spend all day talking to an AI chatbot or trying to fine-tune your prompts. So, just type in a few words, and Blaze will fill in the rest of your sentences, plus all the details, like: file name, brand voice, and target audience.
Oh, and because you're on a mission to grow, we made you a brand new Help Center packed with step-by-step articles and guides to help you get the most out of Blaze.
What used to take you ten hours now takes you mere seconds with Blaze.
In one click, you create ten pieces of content. In two clicks, you schedule ten pieces of content. It's that easy.
Batch scheduling is just the latest way Blaze is giving you back 10+ hours every week, so you can get back to running your business.
In our April monthly update, Blaze CEO Adam Nathan shares our brand new redesign, the new integrations we've recently launched that let you schedule/publish content directly from Blaze, and a super secret project about our upcoming visual studio.
