The problem it solves

Saving Facebook videos for reporting, campaigns, or client work usually means manual downloading, uploading, and keeping track of what you've saved. It's tedious and easy to lose track of.

Who it fits

Marketing and social media teams who need a record of downloaded Facebook video content.

How it works

  1. Someone submits a Facebook video link through a form
  2. The system fetches a downloadable version of the video
  3. The video file is uploaded to Google Drive and made shareable
  4. The link is logged in a Google Sheet, along with any failed attempts
What you get

Video downloads logged automatically

You get every Facebook video someone submits saved to Drive automatically, with each download recorded in a spreadsheet.

What you get

A saved video file in Google Drive and a spreadsheet log of every download attempt.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Google Sheets account, and access to a video downloading service.

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.
