The problem it solves

Staying visible on LinkedIn means commenting on what's happening in your industry, but finding relevant news and writing a thoughtful take on each one takes real time. Most people end up skipping it or posting far less than they'd like.

Who it fits

Founders, marketers, and agency teams who want to post regularly about industry news on LinkedIn.

How it works

  1. Every day, the system reads a list of topics from a spreadsheet
  2. It searches for recent news articles on each topic
  3. It scrapes and cleans the full article content
  4. AI writes a first-person commentary post about the article
  5. The finished draft is placed next to the topic in the spreadsheet
What you get

Commentary drafted and ready to post

You get a first-person LinkedIn commentary post drafted from trending industry news, ready and waiting in your spreadsheet.

What you get

A ready-to-review LinkedIn post draft for each topic, saved in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Dumpling AI account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Sheets connection.

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.
