AI and people
The AI analyzes sales trends to identify popular items and generates captions and images that match the brand voice. A manager must review the content to ensure it feels personal and accurate before publishing
Screens
Key screens: Dashboard, Content Studio, Approval Queue. Use a dashboard to view posting schedule and performance. The Content Studio allows uploading menu items and viewing generated drafts. The Approval Queue lets managers review and approve content before publishing. The main screen is the Content Studio where the user inputs menu data and sees the output
