Message a topic, get post copy and a picture back

Whenever you send a topic to your Telegram chat, a finished post for the platform you chose comes back, with a picture drawn to go with it. The picture arrives first, then the copy as its own message, so you can copy it straight out. Nothing is published anywhere by the workflow.

The copy is held to what you gave it: everything the post claims about the business has to come from your one-line description or the topic you sent, and the AI is forbidden from inventing a statistic, a price, a discount, a rating, an award or a named partner, or from promising a result or a guarantee. The picture is drawn from a description the copy itself ends with, with real people, logos and readable text ruled out. If drawing or hosting it fails, the copy is still sent with a note that no picture could be made.

You need a Telegram bot in your chat, your brand name, one line about what you sell, and the platform and picture style you want.
