Questions

Is this an Instagram growth service?

No. GramMachine is an editorial brief. We test caption and hook patterns and publish what we learn. Nothing is automated on your account.

Where do the numbers come from?

From small tests on creator accounts we work with, and from public engagement data we collect by hand.

Does AI write the captions?

AI helps draft variants; humans pick, post, and measure. The brief reports what actually performed.

How often do you publish?

Weekly by email. Selected briefs get archived on the site later.
