Regenerate with a different provider, just for one day
Sometimes one day's image is just wrong. The per-day Regenerate-with picker lets you swap to a different provider for that day without changing the campaign default. Here's when and why.
You ran a 14-post campaign. AI generated 14 captions and 14 images. Twelve of them are great. Two are off — wrong era, wrong mood, wrong aesthetic. You don't want to regenerate the whole campaign. You don't even want to regenerate those two with the same provider that produced the misses.
That's the per-day Regenerate-with picker.
What it is
On the campaign review step, every day-card has a "Regenerate with…" dropdown next to the regenerate button. Click it, and you get a popover listing your configured AI media providers (Magnific, fal.ai, Gemini Nano Banana, plus your default). Pick a different one and the image (or video, or carousel) for that day regenerates using the provider you picked.
The campaign's default provider doesn't change. Every other day keeps using the default. Just this one day swaps.
Why per-day, not per-campaign
Different providers have different strengths. Magnific is strong on cinematic photoreal. fal.ai is strong on stylized illustration because you can pick a specific model. Gemini Nano Banana is strong on Google-aesthetic clean editorial.
For a 14-post campaign your default is whatever fits the overall vibe. But specific posts have specific needs:
- Day 3 is a moody coastal scene → Magnific Mystic
- Day 7 is a watercolor sketch of a coffee shop → fal.ai with a watercolor model
- Day 10 is an abstract editorial background for a quote card → Gemini Nano Banana
- Days 1-2, 4-6, 8-9, 11-14 → your default (whatever it is)
Per-day swap gives you that flexibility without the overhead of running three campaigns or rerolling the whole thing.
When to use it
1. The image is wrong. Wrong era, wrong character implication, wrong mood. First try regenerate (same provider, new attempt). If you get the same flavor of wrong twice, swap providers. Different models have different "wrongs."
2. The image is generic. AI image models default to inoffensive-but-bland when the prompt is weak. If your default provider keeps producing generic, swap to fal.ai with a more specific model — sometimes the model picker is what unlocks specificity.
3. The image fails entirely. Rate-limited, API timeout, key expired. The day shows a video-missing badge or an error toast. Swap providers for just that day instead of fixing the failed provider's account in the moment.
4. Aesthetic mismatch within a campaign. Your campaign is mostly photoreal but one day calls for an illustration moment (a quote card, an explainer panel). Swap to fal.ai with an illustration model just for that day.
5. You're testing. First time using a new provider. Run a campaign with your usual default, then Regenerate-with the new provider on a few days to see how it compares against the same prompts. Cheaper than running parallel campaigns.
When NOT to use it
1. You haven't tried regenerate yet. Same provider, new attempt is the first move. Different attempts on the same prompt often produce different results. Save the provider swap for when you've ruled out variance.
2. The whole campaign is wrong. If 10 of 14 days are missing the mark, the issue isn't the provider — it's the campaign brief. Fix the objective prompt or your imagery style guide and regenerate the whole thing.
3. Visual cohesion matters more than the specific image. A launch campaign where every day needs to look like part of a deliberate set probably shouldn't have one outlier day in a totally different aesthetic. Stick with one provider for that campaign.
Skip-day affordance
Adjacent to Regenerate-with is the skip-day toggle. Sometimes the right answer isn't a different image — it's no post at all that day. Toggle skip and that day's posts won't be drafted or scheduled. The campaign continues.
Use cases:
- Day 7 is a Sunday and your audience is dead on Sundays
- Day 12 is the day a competitor is launching and you don't want to compete for attention
- A day where you'd rather post manually about something real-time
- A day where AI keeps failing and you'd rather skip than fight it
The campaign still ships the other 13 days. Skipping doesn't break the rhythm; it just removes one specific day from the queue.
Upload-Your-Own per tile
Adjacent again is the Upload button. Drop in your own image or video for that day's media; the AI-generated version is replaced. The caption stays.
Use cases:
- Author photo day — the AI image of "person at desk writing" isn't you, you have a real photo, use the real one
- Your actual book cover for a cover-reveal post
- A screenshot of a fan tweet you want to feature
- A photo from an event you're at
For carousels, Upload-Your-Own works per-slide too — see carousel modes explained.
The video-missing badge
When a day has a video that should have been generated but the video provider failed (Magnific timeout, Gemini Veo rate-limit), the day-card shows a video-missing badge. The image (the video still) is there; the video isn't.
Two ways to fix:
- Regenerate-with to swap to a different video provider
- Upload-Your-Own with a video file you have already
The post can still ship — the platform will use the still image — but most authors want the video where one was planned.
What gets persisted
Per-day overrides are persisted on the campaign's
per_day_provider_overrides field. If you regenerate the whole
campaign later, your per-day overrides are preserved. The
override only resets when you explicitly clear it (or delete the
day).
Common mistakes
1. Reaching for Regenerate-with first. Try regenerate (same provider) once before swapping. AI variance usually solves the problem with the provider you already configured.
2. Swapping providers without changing the prompt. The caption is the prompt. If "moody coastal scene" produces wrong mood on Magnific, "moody coastal scene at dusk, slate-gray water, single lighthouse" might produce right mood on Magnific without needing to swap providers.
3. Using Upload-Your-Own to cover for chronically-bad AI output. If you're uploading manually for half the campaign, either the AI provider isn't right for your aesthetic, or your imagery style guide is too vague. Fix the upstream issue, not each individual day.
4. Forgetting skip-day exists. When AI keeps failing one specific day for unclear reasons, skipping is faster than fighting it. The campaign survives one missed day.
