The problem it solves

Keeping up a regular posting schedule on Twitter takes discipline, and then you still have to go back and manually check how each post performed. Most people either skip the tracking or let it pile up.

Who it fits

A marketer, social media manager, or founder maintaining a Twitter presence.

How it works

  1. Starts when you add a new row with your draft post to a spreadsheet
  2. Publishes that post to Twitter automatically
  3. On a schedule, checks likes, retweets, and views for each post
  4. Writes the updated engagement numbers back into the same row
What you get

Engagement numbers that show up in your sheet automatically

Your tweets get published on schedule and their likes, retweets, and views keep updating in your spreadsheet automatically.

What you get

Published tweets and an up-to-date spreadsheet showing how each post performed.

What you need

A Twitter developer account and a Google account with Sheets access.

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.
