The problem it solves

You know great reviews are sitting in your database, but turning them into social proof takes time you don't have. Designing a quote card, writing a caption, and posting it by hand keeps falling to the bottom of the list, so your feed goes quiet even when customers are happy.

Who it fits

E-commerce brands and service businesses that collect customer reviews and want a steady stream of social proof.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule kicks things off each morning
  2. Airtable is checked for the oldest unposted 5-star review
  3. AI builds a branded quote graphic and caption from the review
  4. The graphic is published straight to Instagram
  5. The review is marked posted and a preview is sent to Slack
What you get

Reviews turned into posts without opening a design tool

Your best customer reviews turn into branded graphics and get posted to Instagram automatically, keeping your feed full of social proof.

What you get

A published Instagram post with a branded customer quote card, plus a Slack notification confirming it went live.

What you need

An Airtable account, a Bannerbear account, an Instagram business 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.
