The problem it solves

You want to reward people who follow you on LinkedIn with a free resource, but manually checking every screenshot people send you is tedious and easy to fake. Verifying each request by hand does not scale once more than a handful of people ask.

Who it fits

Creators or coaches offering a free resource in exchange for following their LinkedIn profile.

How it works

  1. Someone submits their name, email, and a screenshot through a form
  2. AI reviews the screenshot to confirm they are following the right profile
  3. If confirmed, they automatically receive an email with the resource
  4. If not, they are asked to follow and submit a new screenshot
What you get

Followers verified before the resource goes out

Someone submits a screenshot, AI confirms they follow your profile, and they receive your free resource automatically.

What you get

An automatic email delivering the resource to verified followers, plus a spreadsheet log of everyone who requested it.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI account for image analysis.

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.
