The problem it solves

You know you should post consistently, but coming up with fresh content and manually publishing it eats up time you don't have. Ideas sit unused in a notebook or spreadsheet while your social accounts go quiet.

Who it fits

A social media manager or small marketing team juggling multiple platforms.

How it works

  1. A new content idea is added to a spreadsheet
  2. AI writes a ready-to-post caption for it
  3. The automation checks which platform it's meant for
  4. The post goes out automatically on that platform
  5. The spreadsheet is updated with the finished post and time it went out
What you get

Posts drafted and routed to the right platform

You get captions written and scheduled for the right platform automatically, ready for a quick glance before they go live.

What you get

A published social media post and an updated content log.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI API key, and a connected social media 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.
