The problem it solves

You have a batch of videos ready to post, but uploading each one to Facebook and writing captions one by one is tedious. Keeping track of what's already been posted adds another layer of manual work.

Who it fits

Social media managers and content creators who post video content to a Facebook Page regularly.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks a Google Sheet for videos ready to post
  2. It pulls the matching video file from Google Drive
  3. The video is uploaded and published as a Reel on your Facebook Page
  4. The sheet is updated and a link is left as a comment on the post
What you get

Reels posted on schedule without logging into Facebook

Your videos get uploaded from Google Drive and posted as Facebook Reels on the schedule you set, automatically.

What you get

A published Facebook Reel, an updated tracking sheet, and a comment with your link on the post.

What you need

A Facebook Page with publishing permissions, and Google Drive and Google Sheets accounts.

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.
