AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use multimodal models to interpret visual context and generate text in the brand voice. A human marketing lead reviews and approves the drafts before publication to ensure brand safety.
What your team sees
Key screens: Capture feed, draft review queue, approval dashboard. Use a feed view where staff upload media, a queue view for marketing leads to approve drafts, and a dashboard to track content status. Display draft, pending approval and published states. Provide a quick approve or edit option. In this product, the first view is the capture feed, followed by the draft review queue and approval dashboard.
Accounts and administration
User roles for staff and managers, content approval workflows, version history for drafts, audit logs of all uploads and approvals, and permission settings for different branches.
Integrations and data access
Social media platforms for publishing, internal employee communication apps for distribution.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will marketing leads at multi-location hospitality and trade service businesses use it to solve "head office marketing teams are too far from daily operations to capture authentic moments while employees lack time to write captions"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Prove that the system generates on-brand captions that get approved faster than manual drafting, establishing a baseline for engagement growth.
- Measure, then decide. Track number of posts generated per week and approval time reduction percentage. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Mobile web app with camera upload, single caption draft per upload, and a simple approval dashboard for one marketing manager. Ship to two local cafés or a small trade business with no multi-platform logic.
After the MVP. Automated multi-platform scheduling, learning algorithms for content suggestions, and integration with existing marketing calendars.
What the build depends on. Access to a multimodal AI API, a mobile development framework.
