How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; runs once per one per carousel slide.

The problem it solves

Keeping up a steady stream of carousel content for social media means constantly hunting for ideas, writing copy, designing slides, and remembering to actually post. Doing that every couple of days by hand is a lot to sustain on top of everything else you run.

Who it fits

Content creators and brands who want a steady stream of Instagram and Threads carousels without daily manual work.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system searches for a trending article in your niche
  2. It checks whether that story has already been posted before continuing
  3. AI summarizes the article into a swipeable carousel outline
  4. Image slides are generated for each point, with captions and hashtags
  5. The finished carousel is posted automatically to Instagram and Threads
What you get

Fresh carousels keeping your feed active

You get a trending article turned into a swipeable carousel with images and captions, posted automatically to Instagram and Threads on schedule.

What you get

A published carousel post on Instagram and Threads, generated end to end from a trending article.

What you need

Perplexity, Anthropic, and OpenAI API keys, plus a posting service account for Instagram and Threads.

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.
