The problem it solves

Editing photos for Instagram and writing prompts for AI image tools takes real design time, and posting is one more manual step after that. Coordinating all of that for every post adds up fast for a small team.

Who it fits

Content creators and marketing teams managing an Instagram account with a steady stream of photo posts.

How it works

  1. A request comes in with an image stored in Airtable
  2. GPT-4 Vision analyzes the photo's composition, lighting, and style
  3. The system builds an editing prompt from your chosen style settings
  4. Google Gemini generates a new version of the image
  5. The finished image is saved back to Airtable and posted to Instagram
What you get

Edited photos ready for your final look

Turn a product photo into an AI-edited version and get it posted straight to Instagram.

What you get

An AI-edited image saved to Airtable and published to Instagram.

What you need

An Airtable account, an OpenAI account, a Google Gemini account, and a Meta Instagram Business 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.
