Publish new videos to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube automatically

New videos dropped in Google Drive get AI-written captions and are posted to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

You finish editing a video and then face the real work: uploading it to three different platforms, writing a caption for each, and hoping you don't lose track of what's posted where. That repetitive publishing routine eats hours you could spend making more content.

Who it fits

Best for content creators, social media managers, or marketing teams juggling video posting across multiple platforms.

How it works

  1. A new video is uploaded to a Google Drive folder
  2. The video's audio is transcribed and analyzed by AI
  3. AI writes a platform-ready description for the video
  4. The video is posted to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
  5. The status and links are logged in Airtable, with alerts sent if anything fails
What you get

Videos published across platforms without touching a caption

New videos dropped into Google Drive get AI-written captions and get posted to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube automatically for you.

What you get

Published posts on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube plus a tracking record in Airtable.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI API key, and accounts for the social platforms you publish to.

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.
