The problem it solves

You want fresh, high-quality visuals for office screens, digital signage, or social content, but sourcing and resizing a new image every day is a task nobody has time to own. It either gets forgotten or falls to whoever remembers last. And when the source material isn't usable, you find out too late to fix it.

Who it fits

Businesses or teams that want a fresh, ready-to-use visual for office screens, signage, or social posts every day.

How it works

  1. On a daily schedule, the system fetches NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day
  2. If it's an image, it's resized to 4K resolution
  3. The finished wallpaper is uploaded to a folder in Google Drive
  4. If the day's picture is a video instead of an image, a Slack alert lets you know
What you get

A fresh space photo ready for your screens each day

You get a new 4K space photo delivered to Google Drive every day, ready for signage, screens, or social posts.

What you get

A new 4K-ready image in Google Drive each day, or a Slack alert when no image is available.

What you need

A NASA API key, a Google Drive account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
