Repetitive Google Photos 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.
Writing product and service descriptions
Today
Each new product or treatment needs a description for the website. Starting from a blank box in Google Photos is the part that always gets put off.
With Flann
“Write descriptions in Google Photos for the three new teas, short and warm like the others.”
Drafts are written in Google Photos using the details you gave and the tone of the descriptions you already have, so the new ones sit comfortably next to the old. Reply with changes in plain words and Flann redrafts.
What you stop doing: Facing a blank text box for every new product is over.
Turning an event into a flyer
Today
Tasting nights, open days and workshops each need a flyer. Laying out the details in Google Photos competes with actually running the event.
With Flann
“Flyer in Google Photos for the wine tasting on Friday the fourteenth, tickets at the bar.”
From a few words, Flann builds the flyer in Google Photos using one of your past designs as the starting point, so it looks like yours rather than a template anyone could have picked. It sends back a preview and a printable version.
What you stop doing: Laying out every event flyer yourself is no longer on the list.
