Auto-generate and publish LinkedIn posts from a Google Sheet queue

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

You know consistent LinkedIn posting matters, but between writing the copy and remembering to actually post it, your queue of good ideas just sits there. Days go by without a post even though you had the topic ready to go.

Who it fits

A solo creator, founder, or content team who queues post ideas in a spreadsheet and wants them published on schedule.

How it works

  1. Runs on a fixed schedule, three times a week
  2. Finds the next post idea in your Google Sheet marked as pending
  3. AI turns that idea into finished LinkedIn post copy
  4. Publishes the post to your LinkedIn profile
  5. Marks the row as done and saves the final post text back to the sheet
What you get

A steady stream of LinkedIn posts staying live on schedule

Your queued post ideas turn into finished LinkedIn updates and go out three times a week, right on schedule.

What you get

A published LinkedIn post and an updated spreadsheet row showing it's done.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a LinkedIn account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
