Ringsy
NewSee exactly what Ringsy needs from you to start

Never wonder what to post again.

Ringsy plans, writes and publishes a month of on-brand posts and reels for your coffee shop — on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Google Business and six more. You spend about 10 minutes a month approving them.

No marketing experience, no content calendar, no Sunday night. That is 20 finished posts a month at 30 seconds an approval — the arithmetic is on the page below.

The problem

Local business owners want their social media to make the cash register ring — not eat their week.

I own one coffee shop and I'm still posting to Instagram myself every Sunday night. I don't have a marketing team — it's just me.

What we kept hearing from single-location owners in Austin and Dallas while we were working out whether to build this.
  • 01

    One shop, ten platforms

    Instagram wants a reel, Google wants a square with a button, LinkedIn wants a paragraph. Keeping up with all of them is an evening a week you should be spending on the business, or at home.

  • 02

    Generic AI content embarrasses your brand

    ChatGPT and Canva will happily give you a post that looks like everyone else's. Your voice, your street, your prices, the shop that opened across the road last month — none of that is in it.

  • 03

    Everything else assumes you have a marketing person

    Schedulers hand you an empty calendar and wait. Freelancers need briefing, photos and chasing. Agencies want thousands a month. None of them were built for someone who is also the one making the coffee.

What it needs from you

Ringsy needs about four facts. Then it starts making.

No content calendar, no shot list, no brand guidelines document. Here is the entire brief behind three real Brand Rings — the same handful of things onboarding asks you for.

Joe's Coffee

Coffee shop

Austin, TX

What they do
Single-location specialty coffee bar. Single-origin pour-overs, house pastry case, regulars who come in before work.

Who they want
Downtown commuters and remote workers within a mile.
What the owner uploaded
Logo and 8 phone photos of the bar and the pastry case.

Cedar Park Family Dental

Dental practice

Cedar Park, TX

What they do

What the owner uploaded
Logo and before/after photos from the last 3 months.

And then

Three finished posts for your business — before you connect a single social account.

A carousel, a still and a short-form reel, written in your voice and rendered with your colours. We would rather you judged the output on your own shop than on someone else's. Nothing publishes until you say so.

Make my three posts

About 10 minutes · No charge until day 8

One approval

You approve once. It lands everywhere.

Each network wants a different shape, a different caption and a different length. Ringsy cuts all of them from the one thing you approved.

Tuesday, 8:42 AM

“Pumpkin spice is back”

One reel, one carousel, one caption — drafted, rendered and queued for you.

You tap Approve. 30 seconds.

This counts as one post against your plan — not eight. On Starter you get 20 of them a month, published to as many networks as you have connected.

  • Instagram

    Reel 9:16 + carousel 4:5

    Hook in the first two seconds, hashtags in the caption

  • TikTok

    Vertical 9:16

    Native caption, trending audio where it fits the brand

  • Facebook

    Reel + feed post

    Longer caption, link back to your site

  • Google Business Profile

    Square 1:1 + CTA button

    The one that turns searches into directions and calls

  • YouTube Shorts

    Vertical 9:16

    Title and description written for search

  • LinkedIn

    Landscape 1.91:1

    Rewritten in a professional register

  • Pinterest

    Tall 2:3

    Keyworded for the boards your customers browse

  • Threads, X and Bluesky

    Still + short text

    Trimmed to each network's length

How much work this is

Ten minutes on day one.
Ten minutes a month after that.

This is the number that decides whether a tool like this survives in a shop like yours, so here it is with the arithmetic attached.

Day one · about 10 minutes of yours

  1. 012 min

    Tell us about your shop

    Name, trade, address, website. Four fields and about two minutes.

  2. 02You wait

    Ringsy reads your website

    Your colours, your services, your prices and the way you already write come straight off your own site and logo.

  3. 03You wait

    Three sample posts land

    A carousel, a still and a reel for your business — before you connect a single social account. Judge it here.

    Connect your accounts

    Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Google Business and six more, in one flow. Revoke any of them whenever you like.

  5. 05You wait

    Your month fills in

    A full calendar appears, timed to when your customers are actually looking, and starts moving through the approval queue.

That is the whole commitment. Not a content calendar to fill in, not a shot list, not a Sunday night.

  • Zero minutes of yours

    It watches your competitors

    5 local handles, every week. What they posted, what worked, what you should do differently.

  • Zero minutes of yours

    It reads your own results

    Which hooks landed, which times worked, which formats your customers actually stopped for. Next month's plan is built on it.

  • Zero minutes of yours

    It handles the busy weeks

    Turn on the 18-hour fallback and anything you have not looked at publishes on schedule. Reject it any time before the timer runs out.

  • Zero minutes of yours

    It tells you what happened

    A weekly brief in plain English. No dashboards to learn, no metrics glossary, no agency jargon.

Your media

Where the pictures come from.

Short answer: Ringsy makes most of them. You are about to let something post pictures under your name, so here is exactly what those pictures are and how it decides what to put in them.

Used first

Your own photos and clips

Upload what you already have on your phone — the dining room, the chair, the front window, your team. Ringsy keeps up to 50 assets per location and reaches for yours before it makes anything new.

Images up to 20 MB, video up to 100 MB

Generated

Stills and video, made per post

When nothing in your library fits, Ringsy generates the shot — the dish, the treatment room, the pour, the b-roll — in your brand colours and your trade's visual language. This is most of what you will see in a reel.

Google Imagen for stills, Veo for video

Growth plan

A licensed on-camera presenter

For talking-head reels when you do not want to be on camera. Presenters come from a licensed pool, and the one you pick is locked to you in your trade and your metro — the practice across town cannot end up using the same face.

Optional, off by default, exclusive in your local market

How it decides what to generate

Generating the picture is the easy part. Knowing what belongs in it is the product.

  • Every trade gets different casting rules

    A gym reel is built around bodies in motion, because an empty room does not sell a class. A dental practice is the opposite — healthcare is set to keep people out of the frame, and cosmetic surgery is pulled back further still. Restaurants lead with the food and the room: hands and over-the-shoulder shots rather than stock-looking strangers grinning at tables.

  • Generated people are adults, and video always is

    Video is adults-only across every trade, with no exception. Stills can include under-18s only for a short, individually reviewed list of education businesses such as tutoring and music schools; anything not on that list falls back to adults-only automatically. Preschools, daycares and private schools never get generated images of identifiable children at all.

  • Faceless by default where faces are not the point

    For b-roll reels in trades that do not call for people, Ringsy renders without faces rather than inventing a cast. It only puts people in when your trade needs them or when you have asked for them.

  • You can override any of it

    Tell Ringsy who should be on camera and what they should be doing — your barista, your trainer, your team in branded shirts — and your instruction beats the default for that post.

  • Generated imagery is representative, not documentary

    A generated plate of pasta is a good-looking plate of pasta, not a photograph of the one you serve. For a post that sells a specific dish, treatment or property, upload the real thing — it takes a second and it is the single biggest lift in output quality we see.

  • Your uploads stay yours

    Photos in your library are used for your posts only. They never appear in another business's content and never cross into another account, whatever trade or city they are in.

Honestly compared

You have already tried most of these.

An agency does nearly everything on this list, and we have marked it that way. The question is not whether the alternatives work — it is what they cost you in money and in evenings.

Prices are typical US market rates for a single-location business as of 2026, not quotes. Half marks mean the tool can do it with enough setup or enough of your time.

You have tried ChatGPT. It does not know your shop.

It writes a caption when you ask for one. It does not know that Tuesday mornings are your quiet slot, that the place down the road just started doing $6 lunch, or that you sold out of the almond croissants again. Ringsy is holding the whole file on your business and deciding what to do next with it.

You have tried a scheduler. It waits for you to feed it.

Buffer and Hootsuite are excellent at posting things. Neither one has ever decided what to post. The blank calendar is still yours to fill, which is the part that actually takes the evening.

You have tried a freelancer. They also need managing.

Someone good costs $500 a month and still needs a brief, photos, approvals and chasing. Ringsy needs four facts on day one and thirty seconds a post after that — and it does not go quiet in August.

Pricing

Why it improves

The 50th coffee shop in Texas starts with what the previous 49 learned.

Ringsy pools what works across businesses in the same trade and the same metro, as anonymised aggregates only, and never below five contributing businesses. Your captions, your photos and your customers stay inside your account, and you can opt out and keep everything else.

FAQ

What owners ask us before they sign up.

Including the ones where the answer is “not yet.” If yours is not here, email the founders.

  • Not unless you ask it to. By default every post waits in your queue until you tap Approve. If you would rather not be the bottleneck, you can switch on the 18-hour fallback per location, and anything you have not looked at goes out on schedule — you can still reject it any time before the timer runs out.

  • On Starter, up to 5 finished posts a week — about 20 a month. Each one is published to every platform you have connected, and it counts as one post, not one per network. Growth raises that to about 30 a month for each location you run.

  • Ringsy reads your website, your logo and your existing posts during setup, and you set the tone in plain words — warm, plain-spoken, no exclamation marks, whatever fits. Every draft is then scored against that voice before it reaches you, and anything that drifts gets flagged. You can also ban specific words and phrases outright.

  • Yes. Rewrite the caption, regenerate the hook, swap the image or reject it entirely. Edits are unlimited on every plan, and the agent learns from what you change.

  • No. Ringsy generates most of its own imagery and video — the dish, the room, the b-roll — in your brand colours. Uploading what you already have on your phone still helps a lot though: you can keep up to 50 photos and clips per location, and Ringsy reaches for yours before it makes anything new.

  • Only the ones you upload. Anything Ringsy generates is representative rather than documentary — a generated plate of pasta is a good-looking plate of pasta, not a photograph of the one you serve. That is fine for atmosphere, seasonal and general-awareness posts. For anything selling a specific dish, treatment, room or property, upload the real photo and Ringsy will build the post around it.

  • It depends on your trade, and you can override it. A gym reel is built around people in motion because an empty room does not sell a class; a dental practice is set to keep people out of frame entirely, and cosmetic surgery further still. Generated video is adults-only everywhere with no exception, and generated children only ever appear for a short, individually reviewed list of education businesses — never for preschools, daycares or private schools. If you want your own team on camera instead, say so and that beats the default.

  • Yes. Setup pulls your logo and your colours straight off your website, and you can override both. Everything Ringsy renders uses them.

  • Ten: Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, Google Business Profile, Threads, X (Twitter) and Bluesky. Connect as many as you want — one approval publishes to all of them, reformatted for each.

  • Not yet, and we would rather say so. Ringsy publishes posts to your Google Business Profile, which is the one that turns local searches into directions and phone calls, but it does not read or reply to your reviews today. That is on the roadmap and it is the request we hear most from dentists and restaurants.

  • Today you do it by editing the posts in your queue, or by updating your brand brief so the next plan reflects it — there is no box yet for "we are shut on the 14th" or "push the Mother's Day set menu." It is the top item on our list, and if it is a dealbreaker for you, email us and say so.

  • No — that is who this is built for. You answer four questions about your business, and Ringsy does the planning, the writing, the design and the scheduling. The weekly brief tells you what worked in plain English, with no dashboards to learn.

  • Every draft is checked against a restricted-claims list for your trade before it reaches your queue, on top of any words you ban yourself. Nothing publishes without passing that check and, unless you turn on the fallback, without your tap as well. You are still the one responsible for what goes out under your name, which is exactly why the approval step is the default.

  • Yes, to start the 7-day trial — but you are not charged until day 8 and you can cancel in one click before then. Your first three posts are generated for your business before you connect a single social account, so you can judge the output early.

  • Anything already published stays on your accounts and belongs to you — Ringsy posts to your channels, it does not host them. You can export your media library, and we disconnect our access to every social account at cancellation. Scheduled posts that have not gone out are cancelled with the subscription.

  • ChatGPT writes a caption when you ask for one; Canva makes an image when you design one. Neither decides what to post on a quiet Tuesday, watches the shop down the road, reformats for nine other networks, publishes on a schedule, or reads last month's results and changes next month's plan. Ringsy is the whole loop, and you are only in it for 30 seconds a post.

  • Yes. Each location gets its own brand profile, its own social accounts, its own competitors and its own queue, all under one login and one bill. Growth includes two, and each one after that is $99 a month.

  • Only as anonymised aggregates, and only above a threshold of five contributing businesses per trade-and-city slice, so nothing can be traced back to you. Your captions, your logo, your photos and your customer data never leave your account. You can opt any location out at any time and keep using everything else.

S

Why us

We're building Ringsy because local owners asked us to.

Before we wrote a line of code, we sat with owners — a solo coffee shop, a salon with two chairs, a dentist doing his own Instagram between patients — and every one of them said some version of "can you just do this for me?" That sentence is the entire product.

We are early, and we would rather say so than invent customer logos. What we can show you is the work: set it up and judge the three posts it makes for your own shop. If they are not good enough, cancel before day 8 and tell us why — that email comes straight to me.

Start today

Your first month of content is one form away.

Four questions about your shop. Three finished posts back, before you connect a single social account. Nothing goes out until you say so.
