Field notes
The homepage walks through an RSS-to-queue pipeline: feed items become 30–60-second scripts, videos with narration, timed captions and music, then platform-specific captions. Its sample calendar uses NASA and NOAA posts; the page says these demos were made without an editor and offers a “Receipt” view for inputs and cost. Scheduling is routed through Publer or LightPost, and the workflow pauses for approval before anything posts.
