I Built an AI Social Media Automation. Let’s Take It Apart

In the first episode of AI Teardown with Tolu (Tolulope Awoyomi), I take apart an AI-powered social media automation I built to turn structured research and content inputs from Google Sheets into platform-specific posts for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X.I walk through how the workflow works, including the role of OpenAI, prompt guardrails, JSON, routing, visual generation, and automated publishing. Then I break down where the risks can show up, from weak source data and publishing errors to expired credentials, failed APIs, and missing human review.I also explain what I would add if I were deploying a system like this for a client or organization, including approval steps, limited permissions, monitoring, content review, and clearer control over credentials and data.Want the automation template?Here: https://us2.make.com/public/shared-scenario/HhL5zLgKUDY/ai-social-media-automationThe Bannerbear visual templates I used in the video are only examples. You can customize the colors, fonts, layouts, branding, image sizes, and carousel designs however you want. You do not need to use my design for the automation to work.Have an AI idea, business challenge, or workflow you want to figure out?Book a free 15–30 minute AI Strategy Call with me: https://calendly.com/tolulopeawoyomi1/help-me-set-up-onboarding-call----AI Teardown with Tolu is where I test AI tools, automations, agents, and workflows, then examine what is happening underneath.If there is an AI tool or automation you want me to take apart next, send me your suggestion.Hosted by Tolulope Awoyomi (Tolu)Lawyer | AI Implementation Strategist | Educator
