Plan, write, and publish LinkedIn posts from a simple spreadsheet

The problem it solves

You know you should post on LinkedIn consistently, but writing something worth publishing every day is hard to keep up with. Ideas pile up in a notes app and never actually turn into finished posts.

Who it fits

Founders, consultants, or marketing teams who want a steady LinkedIn presence without writing every post from scratch.

How it works

  1. Each day, the system checks a Google Sheet for post ideas marked ready
  2. AI writes a full LinkedIn post with hashtags in your tone
  3. It checks the post meets length and hashtag requirements
  4. A preview is emailed to you for approval before anything goes live
  5. Once approved, the post is published to LinkedIn with an image and the sheet is updated
What you get

Polished post drafts waiting for your quick approval

Your LinkedIn content calendar fills itself with polished, on-brand post drafts and images ready for your final approval.

What you get

A published LinkedIn post with a relevant image, plus an updated spreadsheet tracking its status.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI account, a LinkedIn account, and an Unsplash account for images.

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.
