Draft and post LinkedIn content automatically with your approval

AI drafts LinkedIn posts from your topic list and only publishes after someone approves it in Slack.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Keeping up a regular LinkedIn presence takes constant effort, and writing every post yourself doesn't scale. But posting AI content without a human check feels risky for your brand.

Who it fits

Social media managers, personal brand builders, and agencies managing LinkedIn for clients.

How it works

  1. You add a post topic to a spreadsheet marked as pending
  2. AI drafts a LinkedIn post based on the topic
  3. The draft is sent to Slack for review and approval
  4. Once approved, the post is published to your LinkedIn profile or groups
  5. The spreadsheet is updated to show the post is live
What you get

Posts ready to approve in Slack

A LinkedIn post is drafted from your topic list and sent to Slack for a quick approval before it ever goes live.

What you get

Published LinkedIn posts and a spreadsheet tracking what's been posted and approved.

What you need

A Google Sheets spreadsheet, an OpenAI API key, a Slack workspace, and a LinkedIn account with API access.

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.
