Research, design, and publish Instagram carousels from Slack

Approve each step in Slack while AI researches a topic, designs the slides, and publishes to Instagram.

How the work actually flows

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

The problem it solves

Creating a polished, informative Instagram carousel means researching a topic, writing tight copy, and designing slides that actually look professional. Doing all of that and then remembering to post it is a lot to manage.

Who it fits

A business or personal brand that wants to publish research-backed Instagram carousels without doing the design work.

How it works

  1. You give the AI a topic in Slack
  2. AI researches the topic and drafts a carousel outline
  3. You approve the draft directly in Slack
  4. AI generates professional slide images with clean, readable text
  5. You approve again in Slack and the carousel publishes to Instagram
What you get

Carousel ideas you approve before they go live

You get a researched Instagram carousel built and ready for you to approve in Slack before it publishes.

What you get

A published Instagram carousel with professionally designed, text-heavy slides.

What you need

OpenAI, Slack, an image generation API, and a Facebook or Instagram Business 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.
