Generate AI story visuals and publish after Slack approval

AI turns a story idea into images and video, then posts them to social media once you approve them in Slack.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats redo request restarts generation; runs once per one per social platform; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Producing a steady stream of scroll-stopping visual content takes real creative time you don't have, and posting AI-generated work without a human check feels risky. You want quality content on a schedule without staffing a full creative team.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, or brands who want a steady flow of visual social content without doing every step by hand.

How it works

  1. You give the system a story concept
  2. AI develops the narrative and writes prompts for images and video
  3. AI generates the images and video from those prompts
  4. The content is sent to Slack for your approval or a request to redo it
  5. Once approved, it's automatically published to Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok
What you get

Visuals you approve before they post

You get a finished set of AI images and video for your story idea, ready for your approval in Slack.

What you get

A set of AI-generated images or videos, approved and published to your social accounts.

What you need

A Replicate account, an OpenRouter account, a Slack workspace, and a Blotato 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.
