Where XJumper is different
XJumper is built around the full X-native growth loop: not just scheduling or drafting, but safe automations, conversation-first workflows, and native CRM tracking that closes the loop on leads from posts.
- Search → Copy → Improve: run discovery on mentions and keywords, capture high-potential posts into drafts, then apply persona-aware improvements before posting.
- Persona-grounded idea gen: generate post ideas tailored to audience segments (customers, prospects, press) rather than one-size-fits-all prompts.
- Smart Reply & Smart DM: context-aware reply suggestions and DM templates that remain editable and auditable for teams.
- Smart Follow & pacing: automated follows and engagement with configurable safety caps to avoid bursts and ensure sustainable growth.
- X-native CRM & analytics: tag users, track conversation history, assign follow-ups, and attribute leads back to specific posts and campaigns.
