On-brand Instagram, from your media.

Asteris helps small businesses turn their own photos and videos into on-brand Instagram posts, then review, schedule, and publish them from one workflow.

You upload your own media, and Asteris analyses it, drafts captions and hashtags in your brand voice, and prepares posts ready for scheduling. You can then review and refine the drafts, choose a posting time, and publish directly to your Instagram account.

Unlike a basic scheduler, Asteris does not just automate the publishing step. It helps generate on-brand content from your actual media, so every post feels closer to your business and less like generic AI output. This is especially valuable for restaurants, cafés, salons, boutiques, and ecommerce brands that need a consistent, visually distinctive Instagram presence without hiring a content team.

Yes. Asteris creates Instagram posts from the photos you already have, rather than relying on stock imagery or generic visuals.

You upload your own media to the Asteris platform, and Asteris analyses what it sees, whether that is the food on the plate, a hair transformation, a product shot, or an outfit. It then uses that analysis to draft captions and hashtags based on your actual content and your brand voice.

That means your posts stay grounded in what your business really looks like, sells, or creates. Instead of producing generic AI content from scratch, Asteris helps you turn your original media into content that feels more authentic, more relevant, and more recognisable to your audience.

Yes, and it is the thing that sets Asteris.ai apart. Rather than generating footage from a prompt, it works from the media you already have. It detects the subject in each shot and brings it to life with cropping, panning and zooming, then sequences your images and clips into a finished video post with text, your branding and a soundtrack.

Because it is built entirely from your own media, the result still looks unmistakably like your business, not generic AI content.

You get a strong first cut in seconds, and a full editor and template library let you adjust everything before it publishes. Set a posting cadence and the Planner will keep producing image and video posts for you to review and schedule.

Asteris helps keep your brand voice consistent by grounding every post in your business, your content, and your media, rather than in a generic prompt.

When you set up Asteris, it reads your website to understand what you do, what you sell, and how you communicate. It then uses that context when generating captions, hashtags, and post ideas. Your uploaded photos remain the starting point, so the content reflects what is actually in your media and stays closer to your brand.

Most AI content tools work the other way round. You describe your business, and the AI generates something that sounds plausible. The result can feel generic, or interchangeable with other brands in the same category. Asteris takes a more grounded approach, helping create content that feels specific to your business. For a restaurant, that means posts built around your actual dishes. For a salon, your real client results. For a boutique, your actual products and styling.

Yes. Asteris includes a built-in calendar and publishing tool that posts to your Instagram account at the times you choose.

Once you have reviewed and approved your draft posts, you set the date and time in the Asteris calendar. At the scheduled time, Asteris publishes directly to Instagram, so you do not need to be at your phone or computer. This is especially useful for businesses like restaurants and salons, where the best times to post, such as lunchtime or weekend evenings, often overlap with the busiest service periods.

Asteris therefore supports more than just content creation. It helps you move from draft to scheduled post in one workflow, making it easier to maintain a consistent Instagram presence without posting manually every time.

Asteris is built for small businesses that rely on Instagram to attract and retain customers, especially in food service, beauty and hair, fashion, and ecommerce or product brands.

Food businesses: Restaurants, cafés, food trucks, bakeries, and catering companies that want their Instagram to reflect real dishes, specials, and everyday moments without spending hours creating content.

Beauty and hair: Salons, barbers, makeup artists, skin therapists, and facialists who want to showcase their work, build trust through visible results, and turn Instagram views into bookings.

Fashion: Boutiques, jewellers, bridalwear brands, personal stylists, and vintage sellers who need a consistent, visually cohesive feed that helps turn followers into buyers.

Ecommerce and product brands: Shopify store owners, Etsy sellers, DTC founders, and small product brands that want to maintain an Instagram presence that supports launches, drives traffic, and encourages repeat purchases without a content team.

Asteris helps restaurants, cafés, food trucks, and bakeries stay consistently active on Instagram, even when the team is focused on service.

For food businesses, the problem is usually not a lack of content. Every dish, prep session, special, and behind-the-scenes moment can become a post. The real challenge is finding the time to turn those moments into polished Instagram content consistently. Asteris helps by letting you upload the photos you already take during the day, then turning them into draft captions and hashtags that reflect your restaurant’s personality.

You can plan the week’s content in one session using the Asteris content planner, schedule posts in the calendar, and let Asteris publish them at the times you choose. That helps keep your Instagram active during your busiest service periods and makes it easier to show new and returning customers what is happening in your business, without pulling attention away from the kitchen or front of house.

Asteris is not just a scheduler. It is an AI content assistant that helps generate on-brand captions and post ideas from your media, then schedules them. A standard scheduler assumes you already have the content ready.

Tools like Buffer and Later are built mainly around publishing. You write the caption, choose the image, and set the time. They help you distribute content, but they do not help you create it. Asteris works earlier in the process. You upload your photos, and Asteris drafts captions, suggests hashtags, and helps shape a posting schedule using your brand context.

The other key difference is brand consistency. Generic schedulers do not know what your brand sounds like. Asteris uses your website and media to build context, so the content it generates stays closer to your actual voice and visual identity. For a small business without a dedicated marketing team, that means less manual work and content that feels more specific to the business, not generic or templated.

Yes. Asteris is priced for small businesses, with a free plan available and a paid plan starting at £10 per month.

The free plan gives you access to the core Asteris platform with a starter AI quota, so you can try it with your own photos without entering a credit card. You can create posts, plan them, and publish to Instagram, which is enough to see how Asteris fits your business before deciding whether to upgrade.

The Base plan, at £10 per month, includes four times the Free quota, quota top-ups, media similarity detection, and premium support. It is designed for businesses that want to stay more consistently active on Instagram while keeping full control over what gets posted.

Every Asteris plan comes with a monthly AI quota, which is the amount of content generation and refinement you can do across the month. Analysing and annotating your uploaded photos and videos, generating drafts, regenerating captions, and reworking posts all draw from this allowance, so your quota matches how actively you create content.

The Free plan gives you a starter quota to explore the platform with your own photos, enough to see how Asteris works before you commit to anything. Paid plans increase that allowance as your posting picks up: the Base plan includes 4x the Free quota, the Plus plan 10x, and the Pro plan 20x, with the higher tiers built for businesses posting more often or adding video.

Your quota resets at the start of each billing cycle. If you reach it before then, you have two options. On any paid plan you can buy a top-up to keep creating straight away, or you can upgrade to a plan with a larger monthly allowance. On the Free plan, you simply wait until your quota refreshes at the start of the next month. Either way, nothing you have already created or scheduled is affected, and your published posts stay live.
