Agentic repurpose of a long-form post into a scheduled, illustrated content calendar

A Paperclip agent takes one published long-form post and acts like a social editor: it decides how many threads each platform should get, drafts platform-native copy, proposes a posting cadence, and generates a hero image. Everything lands as Pending Approval rows in an Airtable content calendar for a human to schedule.

Use it when one article should fan out into a planned campaign across X, LinkedIn, and Threads rather than a single cross-post, and you manage scheduling in Airtable. The agent's judgment on cadence and emphasis is the value; the human keeps final say.

1. 1A manual run is kicked off with the source post's identifier.
2. 2The agent reads the full long-form post supplied to it.
3. 3It plans the variant set — platforms, thread counts, angles, and suggested send slots.
4. 4OpenAI drafts each variant; generate-image produces a hero graphic per campaign.
5. 5The agent writes one row per variant to Airtable with copy, image link, platform, proposed time, and a Pending Approval status.
6. 6The calendar surfaces the queue; an operator flips rows to Approved to schedule.
