The problem it solves

You want to reuse your YouTube content across social media, but writing separate captions and building matching images for each platform eats up hours every week. Keeping a content calendar full while also managing everything else is hard to sustain alone.

Who it fits

Content marketers, social media managers, or creators who repurpose YouTube content across multiple platforms.

How it works

  1. A schedule starts the process on a set cadence
  2. It pulls an unused content topic from a spreadsheet
  3. AI finds and picks the best matching YouTube video for that topic
  4. AI writes a unique caption for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn from the video
  5. AI generates a matching image for each post, then saves everything to a spreadsheet
What you get

Posts drafted for three platforms from one video

You get matching captions and images ready for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn built from a single YouTube video topic.

What you get

A spreadsheet row with ready-to-publish captions and images for three social platforms.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Dumpling AI account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
