Frequently asked questions

Is this enough content for all platforms?
This produces 14 images and 5 videos — enough for daily posts on one platform, or 3-4 posts/week across multiple platforms. Scale up by generating more; cost scales linearly.
What about captions and copy?
FairStack handles the visual and audio generation. For captions, use your preferred AI writing tool (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) or write them yourself.
Can I maintain a consistent brand style?
Yes. Use the same prompt style, reference images, and voice clone across generations. Ideogram V3 is especially good at style consistency.
