If you're running multiple IG accounts and currently paying for an extension to post Stories/Reels from desktop and schedule, here's a free one that covers the same ground.

What it does:

- Post Stories, Reels, carousels, and single posts from desktop. No phone, no API

- Schedule content with a visual calendar

- Bulk download stories, reels, posts, and entire profiles

- DM templates, hashtag search, multi-account switcher

- Anonymous story viewing

- AI caption + hashtag generation from a 1-line brief or an image. Chat-to-Caption flow you can iterate on

- Bulk-edit captions across drafts before publishing

Runs as a Chrome extension inside your existing IG session. No password sharing, no API, no third-party login.

For agencies/creators using AI tools: I also maintain free companion extensions for Grok, ChatGPT, and Gemini that auto-save every generation into a shared library. The IG composer pulls directly from that library, so when you open Instagram the image is already in the draft with an AI caption. If you're running AI-art accounts, this collapses the "generate → download → re-upload → caption" loop into one click.

Free during early preview, no credit card.

Would love feedback from anyone running 2+ accounts. What workflows break, which feature would be the killer for you?

I make a lot of AI content on Grok and the part killing me wasn't the creative work, it was the clicking. Prompt → wait → favourite → I2V → upload → download → re-upload to IG/DA. Forty prompts and your evening's gone.

Built Grok Suite to run the whole pipeline inside Grok's own UI:

1. Queue prompts (paste a list, or use a template like "[subject|woman,man,child] in [setting|forest,city,beach]" to auto-generate variations)

2. Hit start. Each prompt sends, auto-retries on moderation rejection, auto-favourites the result, moves on.

3. I2V tab: pick your best images (still native in Grok, so far fewer rejections than re-uploads), batch convert. Per-image prompts via the Prompts Manager.

4. Full metadata captured from Grok's API: createTime, model, source image, prompts. So you have a real record, not just files on disk.

It also syncs every generation to a shared library, and I now ship two free companion extensions that read from it. So once your images and videos are done:

- Opalite for Instagram: post Stories, Reels, carousels and schedule from desktop. Library item shows up pre-filled in IG's web composer with an AI caption. Same wedge as the paid $10-15/mo desktop-IG tools, free.

- DeviantArt Automator: batch upload to DA with on-device AI descriptions/tags (no API key, runs in your browser via WebLLM).

End-to-end: queue prompts → walk away → come back → click into IG or DA composer and the image is already there with a caption. 3-4 hours of manual clicking → 5 minutes of setup.

Free during early preview.

A few things I'm curious about:

- What's your current I2V workflow look like? Manual one-at-a-time, or have you cobbled something automated?

- Anyone else get hit by Grok's composer redesigns breaking tools? That's been 80% of my maintenance.

Happy to take feature requests. I use this thing every day.

I build a free Chrome extension called DeviantArt Automator that writes AI descriptions and tags for your uploads, batches uploads, schedules across days, and bulk-edits old deviations. Been using it on my own gallery for months.

A couple things worth highlighting if you haven't tried it lately.

1. The AI now runs entirely on-device.

Originally it called an API to generate descriptions, which meant trusting me with API costs and trusting your artwork previews weren't going somewhere weird. Migrated the whole AI pipeline to WebLLM with Qwen2.5-3B. It now:

- Runs the model in your browser tab via WebGPU

- No API key, no subscription, no network requests for the generation step

- JSON-schema-enforced output so title / description / tags come out structured every time

- A few seconds per piece on a modern machine, and nothing about your artwork leaves your computer

Alongside that I redesigned the Import tab: Show filter (All / Not imported / Already imported), Select-All with timeframe presets, schedule-order dropdown, AI badge on thumbnails so you can tell at a glance what's already been described. Hit DA's rate limit mid-batch? It pauses and auto-resumes instead of bulk-failing.

2. It now connects to the rest of the suite.

If you also generate AI art on Grok, ChatGPT, or Gemini, I maintain free companion extensions that auto-favourite/save every generation into a shared library. DA Automator's Import tab pulls directly from that library. Every generation shows up alongside its prompt and source model. So the loop is:

> Generate on Grok → image lands in library with prompt → DA Automator pulls it → on-device AI writes the description → batch schedule across days

No re-uploading. No copy-pasting prompts between tabs.

Free during early preview, everything unlocked.

Curious how people feel about the on-device thing specifically. Is "AI stays in my browser" something you care about, or is the convenience of cloud AI enough that it doesn't matter to you?
