How long does the integration take?

Change one base URL in an OpenAI-compatible client, or install the Python or TypeScript SDK; the quickstart routes a first request in a few minutes.

Will this lock us into another vendor?

No. The router is Apache-2.0 open source, your provider keys stay yours, and the API is OpenAI-compatible, so leaving is a change of base URL.

What happens when a provider fails?

The router falls back to the next model your policy allows and records the fallback in the trace, so an outage costs a retry, not an incident.

Thread Structure

The Anatomy

Tweet 1 (Hook):     Bold claim + "thread 🧵"
Tweet 2:            Context / why this matters
Tweet 3-9:          One point per tweet (numbered)
Tweet 10:           Summary or biggest takeaway
Tweet 11:           CTA (follow, retweet, bookmark)

Tweet 1: The Hook

This tweet lives or dies alone in the timeline. It must work WITHOUT the thread.

Hook Type	Template
I did X + result	"I analyzed 1,000 [things]. Here's what I found:"
Number + list	"10 [topic] tips that [benefit]:"
Contrarian	"Unpopular opinion: [bold take]"
Story opener	"In 2019, I [dramatic event]. Here's what happened:"
How-to promise	"How to [achieve outcome] (step by step):"
Surprising fact	"[Stat that seems wrong]. Let me explain:"

# Post hook tweet
belt app run x/post-create --input '{
  "text": "I spent 3 years building SaaS products.\n\nHere are 10 things I wish someone told me on day 1:\n\n🧵"
}'

Content Tweets (3-9)

Rule	Why
One idea per tweet	Clarity and retweetability
Number them (1/, 2/, etc.)	Progress signal, easy to reference
Each tweet should stand alone	People share individual tweets
Lead with the insight	Don't bury the point
Use line breaks	Visual breathing room
Include examples	Abstract → concrete

# Content tweet with visual
belt app run x/post-create --input '{
  "text": "3/ Your pricing page is the second most visited page on your site.\n\nBut most founders treat it as an afterthought.\n\nThe fix:\n→ Show 3 tiers (not 2, not 5)\n→ Highlight the middle one\n→ Annual toggle defaulted ON\n→ Feature comparison below"
}'

Closing Tweet

# CTA tweet
belt app run x/post-create --input '{
  "text": "11/ That'\''s the full playbook.\n\nTL;DR:\n• Validate before building\n• Launch ugly, iterate fast\n• Pricing is positioning\n• Talk to users weekly\n\nIf this was useful:\n→ Retweet the first tweet\n→ Follow me @username for more\n→ Bookmark this thread"
}'

Formatting Rules

Tweet Formatting

❌ Dense:
"If you want to grow on Twitter you need to post consistently and engage with your audience while also making sure your content provides value to your followers."

✅ Formatted:
"Want to grow on Twitter?

3 non-negotiable rules:

→ Post daily (consistency > quality)
→ Reply to 20 accounts bigger than you
→ Every tweet must teach OR entertain

No shortcuts."

Symbols for Lists

Symbol	Use For
→	Steps, actions, directions
•	Bullet points, lists
—	Asides, attributions
✅	Do's, positives
❌	Don'ts, negatives
1/ 2/ 3/	Numbered thread tweets

Line Break Strategy

Short sentence.
                    ← blank line
Short sentence.
                    ← blank line
Punchline.

Line breaks create pacing. Use them to control reading speed and emphasis.

Media in Threads

When to Add Images

Tweet Position	Image Type	Purpose
Hook (tweet 1)	Eye-catching graphic	Stop the scroll
Key points	Screenshots, examples	Evidence
Summary	Infographic	Shareable recap

# Generate thread header image
belt app run infsh/html-to-image --input '{
  "html": "<div style=\"width:1200px;height:675px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,#0f172a,#1e293b);display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;padding:60px;font-family:system-ui;color:white;text-align:center\"><div><h1 style=\"font-size:48px;font-weight:900;line-height:1.2;margin:0\">10 SaaS Pricing Mistakes<br>That Cost You Revenue</h1><p style=\"font-size:22px;opacity:0.5;margin-top:20px\">A thread 🧵</p></div></div>"
}'

# Generate screenshots for evidence
belt app run infsh/agent-browser --input '{
  "url": "https://example.com/pricing",
  "action": "screenshot"
}'

Engagement Strategy

Action	Timing	Why

Reply-chain the thread	Immediately after hook	Complete the thread
Pin the thread	Right after posting	Visitors see your best work
Engage with replies	First 60 minutes	Algorithm boost
Quote-tweet highlight	Next day	Second wave of visibility
Repost hook	1-2 weeks later	Catch new followers

Repurposing to Thread

# Research source material
belt app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{
  "query": "latest statistics on remote work productivity 2024"
}'

# Generate visual for the thread
belt app run infsh/html-to-image --input '{
  "html": "<div style=\"width:1200px;height:675px;background:#0f172a;display:flex;align-items:center;padding:60px;font-family:system-ui;color:white\"><div><p style=\"font-size:20px;color:#38bdf8;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px\">Data Deep Dive</p><h1 style=\"font-size:52px;font-weight:900;margin:12px 0;line-height:1.2\">Remote Work in 2024:<br>What the Data Actually Says</h1></div></div>"
}'

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Problem	Fix
Weak hook tweet	Thread dies at tweet 1	Use hook formulas — bold, specific, curiosity-driving
Too many tweets (20+)	Readers drop off after 10-12	Sweet spot is 8-12 tweets
Multiple ideas per tweet	Confusing, not retweetable	One idea = one tweet
No numbers on tweets	Hard to follow, no progress signal	Always number: 1/, 2/, 3/
No images	Threads with images get 2x engagement	Add visuals to hook + key points
Thread only (no standalone)	Miss the non-thread audience	Post standalone tweets too, not just threads
No CTA at the end	Missed follow/engagement opportunity	Always ask to RT, follow, bookmark
Posting at wrong time	Low initial engagement kills reach	Post during your audience's peak hours
Wall of text tweets	Nobody reads dense tweets	Line breaks, symbols, short sentences
