The problem it solves

You know great reviews make excellent social proof, but turning them into polished graphics and remembering to post them consistently keeps sliding down your to-do list. Manually designing a quote card for every good review is a chore nobody has time for. Meanwhile, positive reviews just sit in a spreadsheet instead of building your brand.

Who it fits

Small businesses that collect customer reviews and want steady, low-effort social media presence.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks your spreadsheet for the oldest unposted 5-star review
  2. It designs a branded quote card image from the review text
  3. The image is uploaded and given a public link Instagram can use
  4. The post, with a written caption, is published to Instagram
  5. The spreadsheet is updated and your team gets a Slack notification
What you get

Social posts published without you lifting a finger

You get a steady stream of branded Instagram posts built automatically from your best customer reviews.

What you get

A published Instagram post built from a real customer review, with the source spreadsheet kept up to date.

What you need

A Google account for Sheets, an image-generation service, and Instagram and Slack accounts.

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.
