The problem it solves

You've planned your social posts in a spreadsheet, but copying each one over to post manually on schedule is a chore you keep putting off. Missed posting windows mean inconsistent presence on the platforms that matter.

Who it fits

A small business or marketer who plans content in a spreadsheet and wants it posted on schedule.

How it works

  1. A scheduled post row in the Google Sheet triggers the process
  2. The system reads the caption and content for that post
  3. The post is published to Instagram and LinkedIn
  4. You get confirmation once both platforms are live
What you get

Scheduled posts that appear without logging in

You get your planned posts published to Instagram and LinkedIn straight from your content spreadsheet.

What you get

Scheduled posts published automatically to Instagram and LinkedIn.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and accounts on Instagram and LinkedIn.

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.
