# Five clients, five niches. *One batch of posts.*

Each client has its own niche and voice. The engine scores their competitors' posts against each account's own median, Claude drafts ideas from the winners using the client's past captions, and the templates render carousels and reels for your whole roster in one run. You review each post before it goes out.

How it works

## It does the research *before it writes ideas.*

Most AI post tools start from an empty prompt box. This one starts by looking at what your niche already rewards, so the ideas come from evidence.

01 · Study pages

### Instagram analysis

Give it a niche or a list of accounts. It counts what they post, scores each post against that account's own median, and pulls out the hooks of the ones that beat it.

02 · Check the niche

### Audience and demand

Claude research agents check what the niche already pays for on marketplaces, read public pages and any comments you paste in, and suggest sub-niches worth testing, with sources.

03 · Write ideas

### New angles

Ideas built from what's working, written fresh for your page. Each one gets a hook, a second hook for slide 2, and captions.

04 · Render

### In bulk

- Carousels (PNG slides)
- Reels with sound
- Captions file
- For every idea in the queue

Proof · page analysis

## What the research found *in your corner of Instagram.*

We ran the research workflow on the accounts that sell to social media managers and counted their last 12 posts. These are the numbers, and what we took from them.

engine › study pages · last 12 posts per account

### Accounts studied

**@latermedia**496K

Social and influencer platform. 6 carousels, 6 reels.

**@planoly**211K

### What we concluded

53 of 84 recent posts from 7 accounts selling to social media managers are carousels (63%), the highest share of the 16 niches we checked.

The managers' own grids are 22% carousels in our sample, and that is a floor, because the sample leaned toward reels. A client batch usually needs both, so the engine renders both from one queue.

Two of the biggest sellers here are faceless, which fits a buyer who wants the finished post.

Social media templates on Etsy sell for about $10 each (0 of 19 listings we saw cost $40 or more). Templates are cheap. Your hours filling them in are the expensive part.

Counts come from public Instagram grids loaded logged out in October 2026, last 12 posts per account, pinned posts included.

Proof · output

## Client-ready posts. *Swipe through them.*

Social media manager examples first, then the other niches. Every post was rendered from a template, so you can swap in a client's wording and keep the layout. Tap any reel for sound.

These are ready-made looks that ship with the engine. Want a different one? Describe it to Claude and it builds it as a reusable style, tests it on a carousel and a reel, and you refine it together. How it turns out depends on your description, so we don't promise any particular look.

Volume

## One laptop. *A wall of posts.*

Every tile below is a slide from the examples on this page. Rendering runs on your own machine, so a longer queue just takes longer to render, at no extra cost. On our test PC a carousel took about 2 seconds and a reel about a minute.

Proof · niche research

## We ran the research on our own market *first.*

We used the engine's research workflow to score 16 professional niches on what sells in marketplaces, what the audience posts, what they say online, and who already sells to them. Part of the result, including the parts that went against us:

| Niche | Paid-demand rank | Audience posts carousels | Verdict |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Social media managers | #10 of 16 | 22% of posts | Most buyer talk about paying for help (27%) |
| Church media teams | #3 of 16 | 31% of posts | Weekly need, church budgets |
| Real estate agents | #1 of 16 | 7% of posts | Buys the most, posts reels |
| Photographers | bottom 6 | 63% of posts | Carousel-heavy, spends little |
| Therapists | bottom 6 | 8% of posts | Skip |

392

marketplace listings read, with checks that each shop really sells to that niche

646

posts and comments from niche communities, scored by a local AI model

16

niches checked. Each number traces back to a page we loaded, and the ones we couldn't verify are marked that way in the notes.

Why rendering matters

## Rendered text stays readable. *Generated text often doesn't.*

### Image-model carousels

- Words come out misspelled or warped, so you fix them by hand

- Slide 4 doesn't match slide 1

- You pay per image, on every post

- Still images only. Reels are a separate job

### The Content Engine

- **Exact text**, set in real fonts on every slide

- **One look** held across every slide and every post

- **$0 per post to render**, because it runs on your computer

- **Carousels and reels** from the same queue

Compare it to what you pay now

## $67 once. *Not every month.*

| Option | What you get | Year one |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Done-for-you content membership e.g. a realtor content club | Monthly templates you still fill in | $888 $74 / month |
| Freelance designer | Design work per post | varies per post, per revision |
| **The Content Engine** | Page analysis, niche research, carousels, reels and captions, as many as you make | $67 once · $0 per post |

What one payment gets you

## What's in *the engine.*

01

### Page analyzer

Studies the Instagram accounts in a niche: what they post, how each post scores against that account's own median, and the hooks behind the ones that beat it.

02

### Niche checker

Claude research agents look into a niche and its sub-niches: what it already pays for on marketplaces, plus what public pages and the comments you paste in say, with a source link for each finding.

03

### Idea writer

Turns the research into a queue of new ideas, each with a hook, a second hook for slide 2, and captions.

04

### Bulk renderer

Feeds your idea queue into data-driven templates and renders the carousels and reels on your computer, the whole queue in one run.

05

### Your look

Any look you can describe: "soft pastel with paw prints", "black and neon, salon luxury". Claude builds it as a reusable style for every post. A few ready-made looks come with it as starting points.

06

### Sound and voiceover

Original music and sound effects generated in code, plus optional voiceovers from a free voice model that runs on your computer (needs Python and a one-time download of about 1 GB).

07

### The playbook

What we learned testing it: slide 2 rules, safer call-to-action wording, and claims to keep out of your captions.

08

### Commercial use

Post on your own pages or your clients'. What you render is yours.

09

### Setup guide

A step-by-step install guide (tested on Windows; Mac not yet tested), written for people who haven't used a terminal before.

Who it's for

## Built for people *who run pages.*

### A good fit if you...

- Run a page, for yourself, your business or your clients, and need volume

- Want to know a niche works before you build a page in it

- Have ideas but lose the week making the posts

- Already use Claude, or are happy to start

### Probably not for you if...

- You want someone to post for you. It makes the files and you post them

- You need photo-realistic product shoots

- You want a promise about followers or income. There isn't one, because results depend on how you use it

Before you buy

## The questions people actually ask

**Can I run it for several clients?**

Yes. Run the research and the idea queue once per client niche, keep a template set per client, and render each client's batch separately or all in one run.

**Will the posts sound like my client?**

Claude writes from what you give it: the client's past captions, their offer, words they use and words they avoid. You read and edit every post before it goes to the client.

**Can I deliver the posts to paying clients?**

Yes. What you render is yours to deliver and post on client accounts. The engine itself is licensed to you, so you can't resell or share the engine. See the Terms for the details.

**Does it schedule or post to client accounts?**

No. It makes carousel PNGs, MP4 reels and a captions file. You drop them into whatever scheduler you already use.

**How does it analyze Instagram pages?**

It looks at public profiles the same way you would, logged out: what each account posts, how often it uses carousels or reels, and how each post scores against that account's own median. It reads public pages only. It doesn't post, follow or like.

**Where does the rest of the research come from?**

Claude research agents read public sources: marketplaces where the niche already buys, public pages Claude can open, and any comments or posts you paste in. Each finding comes with its source link so you can check it yourself. It is research help, not a guarantee that a niche will sell.

**Will my posts look like everyone else's?**

The ideas come from research into your niche and are written fresh for your page, and the templates rotate layouts across a batch. You can change any template. Two buyers in different niches start from different research, so their queues differ too.

**How many posts can it make?**

As many as you queue. Rendering runs locally, so a longer queue takes more time and nothing else. On our test PC that was about 2 seconds per carousel and about a minute per reel; slower computers take longer.

**What styles can it make?**

Most looks you can describe in colours, fonts, backgrounds and motion. Claude builds it as a reusable style: it starts from the closest ready-made look, changes the colours, fonts, backgrounds and motion, renders a test carousel and reel, and adjusts it with you. Ready-made starter looks are included, such as: Pixel Arcade, Studio Pop, Volt, Paperclip, Warm Cinema and Minimal Mono. How close it gets to what you have in mind depends on how clearly you describe it (screenshots help), so we don't promise any particular look.

**Do I need to know how to code?**

No. You tell Claude what you want and it runs the engine, asking you to approve each command. You need a Windows computer (tested on Windows; Mac not yet tested), a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher) and an internet connection. Setup means installing a few free tools (Node.js, FFmpeg and Claude Code) by following the guide, about 20 to 30 minutes once.

**What does it cost to run after I buy?**

Nothing extra from us. There are no credits or per-image fees. Research and ideas use your paid Claude plan (Pro or higher), so big research runs count toward that plan's usage limits, and rendering runs on your computer.

**Can I use it for client work?**

Yes. What you render is yours to post on your own accounts or your clients'.

**Does it post for me?**

No. It makes finished files (carousel PNGs, MP4 reels and a captions file) that you upload or drop into your scheduler.
