The problem it solves

Keeping a consistent LinkedIn presence means constantly coming up with things to say, writing them well, and remembering to actually post, which is easy to let slide when things get busy.

Who it fits

Business owners and marketers who want a steady LinkedIn presence without writing every post themselves.

How it works

  1. A topic marked Pending is found in your spreadsheet
  2. AI writes a professional LinkedIn post from the topic
  3. Post is published to your profile and listed LinkedIn groups
  4. Spreadsheet status is updated so nothing posts twice
What you get

A LinkedIn presence kept up without you writing it

You get LinkedIn posts written and published automatically from a simple list of topics you keep in a spreadsheet.

What you get

Published LinkedIn posts and an up-to-date spreadsheet tracking what's gone out.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, an OpenAI 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.
