The problem it solves

Coming up with a caption, generating an image, and scheduling it all for social media eats up time every day. When you're juggling other work, content calendars slip and posting gets inconsistent.

Who it fits

Social media managers and small marketing teams who plan posts from a running list of ideas.

How it works

  1. A new post idea appears in your Airtable base
  2. AI generates a matching image from the idea
  3. AI writes a social media post based on your idea
  4. The image and post are uploaded and scheduled to publish automatically
  5. Your Airtable base is updated to mark the post as scheduled
What you get

Social posts ready for a final check

A post idea in your spreadsheet becomes a written caption, a matching image, and a scheduled post automatically.

What you get

A scheduled social media post with a matching AI-generated image, tracked in your spreadsheet.

What you need

An Airtable account, an Anthropic API key, and a PostPulse 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.
