Getting started

Venuesmith turns a one-line prompt into a branded post (image, caption and hashtags) for Instagram and Facebook, with an approval step before anything goes live.

The core loop

1. Type a prompt - go to New draft and describe the post: Mexico vs South Africa World Cup opener, kickoff 8pm tonight
2. Review - the agent drafts the caption, picks a photo from your library, renders a branded image, and queues it as a draft
3. Approve & publish - approve it, then either Post now or Schedule it for later

That's it. Everything else in the app supports this loop.

First-time setup checklist

The User guide covers each of these steps with screenshots.

Step	Where	Why
Add your location	Locations → + New location	Name, city and the post designs it uses
Upload your logo	Location → Brand & logo	Goes on your automatic match-day graphics
Set your brand voice	Location → Brand & logo	Every caption is written in this tone
Upload photos	Location → Photos	Used as post backgrounds, least-used first
Connect Instagram	Location → Instagram	Needed for posts to publish on their own

TIP

You don't need everything set up to start. With just a location and logo you can create drafts and download images for manual posting.
