The problem it solves

Coming up with fresh, well-researched LinkedIn posts takes real time you don't have every week. You either post something generic or skip posting altogether because good content takes too long to write.

Who it fits

Founders, consultants, and marketers who want to post consistently on LinkedIn without writing every post themselves.

How it works

  1. The automation checks your Google Sheet for topics marked as to-do
  2. It researches each topic on the web to gather current facts and context
  3. AI writes a polished LinkedIn post along with an image idea
  4. The finished post is saved back to your sheet and marked done
  5. You get an email letting you know a new post is ready to review
What you get

Polished drafts waiting in your queue

You get a ready-to-review LinkedIn post, complete with an image idea, waiting in your sheet each time a new topic works its way through research.

What you get

A ready-to-publish LinkedIn post and image idea for each topic, saved in your spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, an Olostep API key, and a Google Gemini API key.

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.
