The Elai jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Making the weekly offer graphic
Today
Every Monday you open Elai, find last week’s post, swap the photo, change the offer text and resize it twice. It is the same fiddly routine each week.
With Flann
“This week’s special is the lamb tagine. Make the usual Monday post in Elai.”
Flann opens last week’s design in Elai, swaps in the new dish, rewrites the line in your usual tone and keeps your fonts and colours as they are. The finished graphic comes to the chat as an image you can look at properly on your phone.
What you stop doing: Rebuilding the same post every Monday is no longer how your week starts.
Resizing one design for every place
Today
A poster for the window also needs a square version, a story version and a print-ready file. Each resize means nudging text boxes until nothing is cut off.
With Flann
“Take the autumn open day poster in Elai and make story, square and printable versions.”
Each format is built from the original in Elai, with the text and logo repositioned so nothing is clipped at the edges. You get all three back as previews in one message.
What you stop doing: Nudging text boxes around for each new size is not your job any more.
