Approve LinkedIn posts by replying to an email

AI drafts LinkedIn post ideas and full posts, and publishes your pick as soon as you reply with a number.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Staying consistent on LinkedIn means constantly coming up with ideas, writing drafts, and remembering to actually post them. Most founders and marketers let it slide because it competes with everything else on their plate.

Who it fits

Startup founders, agencies managing client LinkedIn accounts, and solo creators who want consistent posting.

How it works

  1. The system generates 10 LinkedIn post ideas and emails them to you
  2. You reply to the email with the number of your favorite idea
  3. AI writes three full draft posts for that idea and emails them back
  4. You reply again to pick your favorite draft
  5. The chosen post is published to LinkedIn and logged in Google Sheets
What you get

LinkedIn posts you approve with a single reply

You get ready-made LinkedIn post drafts by email and your reply publishes the one you pick.

What you get

A published LinkedIn post, plus a full record of ideas and drafts in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Workspace account (Gmail, Sheets), a Google Gemini API key, and a LinkedIn 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.
