Repetitive Giphy work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
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 Giphy and make story, square and printable versions.”
Each format is built from the original in Giphy, 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.
Keeping the menu design current
Today
When a dish changes, the printed menu and the screen behind the till are both out of date. Editing the design in Giphy usually waits until someone asks for the soup that is no longer there.
With Flann
“Remove the soup of the day from the lunch menu in Giphy and add the halloumi wrap.”
The menu design in Giphy is edited with the spacing kept even and a short description written for the wrap in the style of the rest. A preview of the whole menu comes back so you can read it as a customer would.
What you stop doing: Waiting for a customer to point out an old menu is over.
