Automatic Distribution vs Tutorial Expert: Which AI Builder Serves Your Token Launch?
Choosing the right AI builder for your Solana token launch involves weighing automation against deep customization. Automatic Distribution focuses on preset, automated workflows for common tasks, while Tutorial Expert offers guided, step-by-step processes for complex or unique distribution needs. This comparison breaks down the specific features, costs, and best use cases for each approach.
- •Automatic Distribution is best for standard airdrops and simple, pre-defined liquidity pool allocations.
- •Tutorial Expert provides guided workflows for complex vesting schedules, multi-tiered airdrops, and custom tokenomics.
- •Spawned's integrated AI builder includes distribution features at no extra monthly cost, saving creators $29-99/month.
- •Automatic tools reduce errors for common tasks; tutorial-based systems prevent mistakes in complex scenarios.
- •The choice depends on your token's distribution complexity and your team's technical experience.

Core Feature Comparison: Automation vs. Guided Expertise
One clicks buttons, the other asks questions. The method changes everything.
The fundamental split between these AI builder styles is their approach to user input and execution.
Automatic Distribution works on a 'set-and-forget' model. You select a pre-built template (e.g., 'Standard Airdrop,' 'Team Vesting'), input your wallet list or percentages, and the system handles the smart contract interactions. It's fast and reduces manual error points for routine operations.
Tutorial Expert operates as an interactive guide. It asks a series of questions about your goals (e.g., 'Should founders' tokens have a cliff period?', 'What percentage is reserved for community rewards?'), explains the implications of each choice, and then constructs the distribution plan and necessary contracts step-by-step. This is vital for novel tokenomics that don't fit standard molds.
For example, a simple meme coin might use Automatic Distribution for a one-time airdrop. A project with a 4-year vesting schedule for founders, a community treasury with staged unlocks, and a liquidity bootstrapping event would need the Tutorial Expert approach to configure everything correctly.
How Spawned Integrates Both Approaches
Spawned's AI website builder is designed to support creators regardless of their technical level. We provide templates that utilize Automatic Distribution for speed, and expert modules that function as a Tutorial Expert for depth.
Key Integration Points:
- Launchpad Synergy: Distribution plans configured in the AI builder are directly compatible with our launchpad smart contracts. There's no need to re-code or manually transfer settings.
- Fee Structure Alignment: Whether you use automatic or guided setup, the resulting token benefits from Spawned's 0.30% creator fee per trade and 0.30% ongoing holder rewards. These are baked into the token standard upon launch.
- Post-Graduation Ready: Complex vesting schedules built with Tutorial Expert are future-proofed. When your token graduates from the launchpad, the 1% perpetual fee via Token-2022 programmatically enforces the distribution rules you established.
This means the AI builder isn't just a separate design tool; it's the front-end for configuring your token's entire economic and distribution layer on Spawned. Explore our full platform features.
When to Choose Automatic Distribution vs. Tutorial Expert
Select the tool that matches your project's phase and complexity.
- Choose Automatic Distribution if: Your distribution is simple (e.g., 100% to liquidity pool, a single round airdrop). You value speed over granular control. Your team has limited time for configuration. You are launching a straightforward community token.
- Choose Tutorial Expert if: Your tokenomics include vesting schedules, cliffs, and staggered releases. You have multiple recipient groups (team, advisors, treasury, community). You are unfamiliar with the security implications of custom token contracts. You want to understand the 'why' behind each distribution setting.
- Use Both if: You start with Automatic for a basic airdrop to early supporters, then later use Tutorial Expert to configure a more complex, long-term ecosystem fund distribution after initial launch.
Cost and Value Analysis
Beyond functionality, the financial impact is a major differentiator.
| Feature | Standalone AI Builder (Typical Cost) | Spawned's Integrated AI Builder |
|---|---|---|
| Access to Distribution Tools | Often a premium add-on ($49+/month) | Included with launchpad use |
| Monthly Subscription | $29 - $99 | $0 (no separate fee) |
| Smart Contract Deployment | Extra fee per contract | Bundled in 0.1 SOL launch fee (~$20) |
| Economic Model Integration | Manual configuration required | Native integration with 0.30%/0.30% fees & rewards |
The Bottom Line: Using a separate service like a hypothetical 'Automatic Distribution' or 'Tutorial Expert' tool could cost over $1,200 per year in subscriptions, plus extra deployment fees. With Spawned, these AI builder capabilities are part of the platform, turning a cost center into a value-add. The one-time 0.1 SOL launch fee covers the website build and the token deployment.
Step-by-Step: Using Distribution Features on Spawned
A practical walkthrough from template selection to live contract.
Here’s how you configure token distribution within the Spawned AI builder.
- Select a Template: Start your project. Choose a base template (Meme, DeFi, NFT) that includes suggested distribution splits.
- Navigate to 'Tokenomics' Module: In the AI editor, find the dedicated Tokenomics section.
- Choose Your Path:
- For Automatic: Select 'Quick Setup.' Pick from options like 'Fair Launch,' 'Presale,' or 'Airdrop Focused.' Adjust the slider for liquidity percentage. The system auto-calculates the rest.
- For Guided (Expert): Select 'Custom Setup.' The builder will walk you through: allocating percentages to team, treasury, community; setting vesting start dates and durations; defining cliff periods; and specifying wallet addresses for each allocation.
- Review Smart Contract Preview: The builder shows a preview of the distribution contract it will deploy, including all locks and timers.
- Publish & Launch: Once your website is ready, proceed to launch. The distribution rules you set are embedded into your token's contract on Solana.
Final Verdict and Recommendation
For the vast majority of Solana token creators, an integrated platform that offers both automatic and guided distribution tools is the superior choice over seeking out a standalone 'Automatic Distribution' or 'Tutorial Expert' service.
We recommend using Spawned's AI builder for the following reasons:
- Cost Efficiency: It eliminates a recurring $29-99 monthly expense, directly improving your project's runway.
- Reduced Friction: Configuration in the builder seamlessly translates to a live token on our launchpad, removing integration headaches.
- Comprehensive Coverage: It provides the speed of automation for simple tasks and the depth of guided tutorials for complex setups, all in one place.
- Built-in Monetization: Your token automatically benefits from the sustainable 0.30%/0.30% fee/reward model and is prepared for the 1% post-graduation fee, which are unique value propositions of the Spawned ecosystem.
If your distribution is exceedingly simple and you are only building a website, a standalone tool might suffice. However, for anyone launching a token with an eye on community growth and long-term holder rewards, the integrated approach delivers more value with less complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some elements are immutable once the token contract is live on-chain. For example, total supply and pre-allocated vested amounts with locked contracts cannot be changed. However, unallocated tokens in a mutable treasury wallet can be distributed later via new airdrops or initiatives. It's critical to use the Tutorial Expert guidance to get your initial, long-term vesting schedules correct, as these are permanent.
Yes, especially when using the guided (Tutorial Expert) mode. When inputting wallet addresses for team, advisor, or treasury allocations, you can specify a multi-signature wallet address. The vesting schedule will then apply to that multi-sig, requiring the designated number of signatures to release tokens after the cliff and vesting periods pass. This is a key feature for project security.
A cliff is a period at the start of a schedule where no tokens are released. After the cliff ends, regular vesting begins. For example, a 1-year cliff with 4-year vesting means recipients get 0 tokens for the first year, then 25% of their allocation unlocks at the 1-year mark, with the remaining tokens vesting linearly over the next 3 years. The Tutorial Expert workflow explains and helps you implement these structures correctly.
The holder reward is a feature of the token itself, enabled by Spawned's token standard. From the very first trade, 0.30% of every transaction is automatically redistributed to all existing token holders proportionally. This happens automatically on-chain, regardless of how the tokens were initially distributed (via airdrop, purchase, or vesting release). It creates ongoing yield for your community.
There are practical blockchain limits based on transaction size and cost. For massive airdrops (tens of thousands of wallets), the system typically uses a merkle tree proof system, where you upload a list of addresses and amounts, and users claim their tokens. The Spawned AI builder's distribution modules guide you toward the most efficient and cost-effective method based on the size of your distribution list.
The AI website builder and its distribution configuration modules are designed as an integrated part of the Spawned launchpad ecosystem. The distribution contracts generated are optimized for deployment via our platform. While you could theoretically use the site design elsewhere, the full value—especially the seamless launch, fee integration, and holder rewards—requires using the Spawned launchpad for your token deployment.
This is a major advantage of Spawned. The distribution schedules (vesting, cliffs) are enforced by the Token-2022 program on Solana. These rules are embedded in the token itself and continue to function autonomously after graduation. Furthermore, the 1% perpetual fee that activates post-graduation supports the project treasury automatically, based on the rules you set up initially in the AI builder.
