What it does

Takes one creative brief and produces two distinct carousel variants (A and B) using a Replicate image model, posts both to your social platforms on a staggered schedule, then waits, collects engagement, and writes the winning variant back to Airtable so your next round starts from what actually worked.

When to use it

Run this when you want carousel creative decisions made by data instead of opinion. It fits a weekly content cadence where you always ship two takes on the same idea and let the audience vote with likes, saves, and shares.

How it works

  1. 1A new row in your Airtable "Briefs" table with status Ready fires the trigger.
  2. 2The flow calls Replicate twice with variant-specific prompts to render carousel A and carousel B.
  3. 3Both variants post through post-to-platforms with UTM-tagged captions and a tracked variant ID.
  4. 4After a 48-hour delay, engagement metrics are pulled back per variant.
  5. 5A logic step compares total weighted engagement and selects the higher performer.
  6. 6The winner, loser, and raw metrics are written back to Airtable for the next cycle.
