It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

Creating an educational carousel post the normal way means writing a script, designing slides, exporting images, and scheduling the post, which can eat up hours for a single piece of content. You want to publish consistently without redoing all that design work every time.

Who it fits

Content creators and brands who want to publish educational Instagram carousels without manual design work.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule or whenever you trigger it
  2. AI writes a 6-slide educational script on your topic
  3. The script is inserted into a branded Google Slides template
  4. Slide images are generated and uploaded
  5. The finished carousel is published to your Instagram account and logged in Google Sheets
What you get

Carousel slides someone checks before they go live

A finished Instagram carousel, script and slides included, gets built and published on your schedule.

What you get

A published Instagram carousel post, with slide images and post details logged in Google Sheets.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Gemini API key, an Instagram Business account connected to Facebook, and an image hosting 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.
