Draft, approve, and publish LinkedIn posts automatically with AI

You submit an idea, AI drafts LinkedIn posts and carousels, and approved posts publish on schedule automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person has to approve before it continues; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Coming up with content ideas, writing the post, building a matching carousel, and remembering to publish it all takes real time each week. It's easy for content to sit half-finished or for a scheduled post to slip through the cracks.

Who it fits

Founders, marketers, or creators who post regularly on LinkedIn but don't have time to manage it all by hand.

How it works

  1. You submit a content idea through a form, with an optional file
  2. AI writes a LinkedIn post and stores it in Notion
  3. AI builds a matching carousel in Google Slides when needed
  4. Posts marked ready go out on LinkedIn at their scheduled time
  5. Notion updates to show what's posted, and you get an email if something needs attention
What you get

LinkedIn posts drafted before you open a blank page

You get LinkedIn posts and carousels drafted from your idea and published automatically once approved.

What you get

Published LinkedIn posts and carousels, plus an up-to-date content calendar in Notion.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Notion workspace, a LinkedIn account, and an AI 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.
