The problem it solves

Manually resizing and pasting dozens of images into a document is tedious and easy to get wrong. You end up spending an afternoon copying files one by one instead of finishing the report.

Who it fits

A content, documentation, or operations team that regularly builds image-heavy reports or docs.

How it works

  1. Starts when you run it against a chosen Google Drive folder
  2. Sorts the images in the right numeric order
  3. Resizes each image to fit the document
  4. Inserts every image into the target Google Doc in batches
  5. Leaves you with a finished, formatted document

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.
