The problem it solves

Writing fresh, on-brand social captions for every planned post takes time your small team doesn't have. Coming up with platform-specific wording for each topic on your calendar, day after day, adds up fast.

Who it fits

Small museum or cultural organization communications teams managing social media with limited staff.

How it works

  1. Each morning, the system checks the content calendar for posts marked as ready
  2. AI writes tailored captions for Instagram and Facebook based on the topic and notes
  3. The generated captions are written back into the calendar
  4. The status is updated so the team knows it is ready to review and publish
What you get

Captions ready for your team to post

You get ready-to-post Instagram and Facebook captions drafted from your content calendar every morning, matched to each post's topic.

What you get

Ready-to-review social captions added directly to your content calendar.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and an Anthropic API account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
