The problem it solves

Coming up with a new Instagram carousel every day and designing the slides takes time you would rather spend elsewhere. It is easy to run out of ideas or accidentally repeat a topic you already covered.

Who it fits

Social media managers or small teams posting regular Instagram content on a theme.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule starts the process at the same time each day
  2. AI writes the text for a six-slide carousel on a chosen topic
  3. AI generates a matching image for each slide
  4. The finished slides and captions are uploaded to your team's Slack channel
  5. The topic is logged in Google Sheets so it is never repeated
What you get

Instagram slides drafted and waiting in Slack

Every day your team gets a fresh six-slide Instagram carousel, complete with images and captions, waiting in Slack for a quick review.

What you get

A ready-to-post six-slide Instagram carousel delivered to Slack each day, with topics tracked in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Slack workspace, a Google Sheets account, and Google Gemini 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.
