Auto-generate event graphics and post countdowns to social media

Watches your calendar for new events and automatically creates and posts branded countdown graphics to your social channels.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; runs once per each scheduled countdown interval.

The problem it solves

Promoting an event on social media takes constant manual work: designing graphics, remembering to post at the right times, and writing captions for each platform. It's easy to let an event go unpromoted.

Who it fits

Marketing teams or event organizers who regularly host events and promote them across social platforms.

How it works

  1. A new event is created on your calendar
  2. System checks there's enough lead time to promote it
  3. A branded graphic is created automatically with the event details
  4. Posts are scheduled at set intervals before the event
  5. AI writes captions and posts them to LinkedIn, X, and Facebook
What you get

Countdown graphics ready to review before they post

Your upcoming events get branded countdown graphics and captions posted automatically across LinkedIn, X, and Facebook.

What you get

Scheduled social media posts with custom graphics and captions counting down to your event.

What you need

A Google Calendar account, an OpenAI API key, and accounts on LinkedIn, X, and Facebook.

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.
