# Community manager vs social media manager: who does what?

A community manager focuses on relationships and conversations. A social media manager handles the broader presence and content plan. The roles can overlap, so agree on specific tasks within your team.

## Define the work. Then assign the roles.

A social media coordinator or specialist may handle several functions. The table proposes an allocation for a brand, with a third column showing where our AI operator fits.

### When planning content

Assign who chooses topics, produces assets and sets the calendar. The assistant can prepare a script from industry questions. Your team checks the content, produces it and publishes it.

### When a conversation appears

Define who reviews the context and what information the brand can contribute. AI Community Manager finds relevant posts and prepares participation under your rules. Customer inquiries need an owner on the team.

### When reviewing results

Distinguish completed work from its commercial effect. An approved draft records a participation decision; a sale needs its own tracking. Agree on which records to review and who decides on changes.

## Try assigning a task.

Choose what you need to do. The suggestion explains which person owns it and what our system contributes.

The page includes a practical example for exploring task allocation or participation. Actions are illustrative.

## What to agree before hiring or delegating

- Who decides the brand’s voice and the topics where it can participate.
- Who publishes, handles inquiries and reviews the operator’s drafts.
- Which account you will use and who manages the self hosted installation.

### Can one person handle both roles?

Someone can handle several tasks when the scope and capacity are clear. The table helps allocate work even when job titles differ.

### Is our operator a social media manager?

It is a self hosted tool for reviewing conversations and participating on social networks. Your team retains planning, production, publishing and customer inquiries.
