The problem it solves

Repurposing your YouTube videos into social posts means rewatching the video, writing captions for each platform, and finding or making images, one video at a time. That work usually gets skipped because there's no time for it.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketing teams, or virtual assistants managing social media alongside a YouTube channel.

How it works

  1. The system watches your YouTube channel's feed for new videos
  2. Dumpling AI extracts the full video transcript
  3. OpenAI writes three platform-specific captions for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn
  4. OpenAI also writes image prompts, which Dumpling AI turns into images
  5. The captions and images are saved into Airtable, ready to post
What you get

Captions and images ready for every new video

Every new video on your channel gets matching captions and images prepared for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

What you get

A set of ready-to-post captions and matching images saved in Airtable for each new video.

What you need

A Dumpling AI account, an OpenAI API key, and an Airtable 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.
