Questions

Does it design the slides or post them?

No. It writes every slide's text, a design note for each slide and the captions. You or your designer build the graphics and post them.

Why only 2 to 4 hashtags?

The goal is to reach people in your town, not everyone who likes the word weekend. A few exact local tags say clearly which town the post is about and keep the caption clean.

Can it make a video version?

Yes, as optional notes. It suggests a real local face in the first second, a big text hook, captions and a 12 to 18 second phone-shot format, which has beaten polished creative in our team's own ad tests. Treat it as a starting point to test.
