The problem it solves

You want to ride trending TikTok topics, but you don't have time to watch dozens of videos, decide what's worth reusing, and turn it into a new post. By the time you notice a trend, it has often already passed.

Who it fits

A social media creator, marketing team, or agency managing TikTok content.

How it works

  1. The system scrapes trending TikTok videos by hashtag and like count
  2. It sends the shortlist to your team in Slack for review
  3. Once a video is picked, it generates a transcript and breaks it into carousel-style text slides
  4. The draft carousel is sent to Slack for approval
  5. Once approved, the post is published to TikTok and logged in a spreadsheet
What you get

Carousels ready for your team to approve

You get trending TikTok content turned into carousel posts your team can review and publish.

What you get

A ready-to-publish carousel post, tracked from discovery through approval to publishing in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A TikTok account, a Slack workspace, a Google Sheets account, and API access for scraping and AI processing.

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.
