The problem it solves

Coming up with fresh, engaging content for your channel every day takes real effort, and you don't always have time to dig through the news. This turns something you're already doing, listening to music, into a ready-made post.

Who it fits

Content creators or social media managers who want a low-effort daily post idea.

How it works

  1. Your recently played Spotify track is pulled
  2. AI identifies the emotion behind the song
  3. A matching trending news story is found
  4. The story is turned into a designed image card
  5. The card is posted to your Slack channel
What you get

A daily post idea waiting in Slack

You get a shareable news card posted to Slack each day, built from the mood of your last Spotify track.

What you get

A branded image card pairing your listening mood with a trending news story, ready to share.

What you need

A Spotify account, an OpenRouter API key, an APITemplate.io account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
