The problem it solves

You have flyers, scans, or announcement images with content worth sharing, but retyping the text and posting it across every platform by hand takes forever. Getting it out consistently to every channel is hard to keep up with.

Who it fits

A content or marketing team that turns printed or scanned materials into social posts.

How it works

  1. A new PDF or image is added to a watched Google Drive folder
  2. AI extracts the text from the file
  3. New images can optionally be generated to go with the content
  4. The content is posted automatically to your connected platforms
  5. You get a notification once posting is complete
What you get

Posts published straight from your paperwork

You get fresh social posts pulled directly from your PDFs and images to keep your channels active every day.

What you get

Text extracted from your files and published automatically across your social channels.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI API key, and accounts on the social platforms you want to post to.

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.
