The Scenario
You're on the content team at a fintech brand. The comms team pulled 20 key quotes from a recent founder interview and loaded them into an Excel workbook — quote in column A, speaker attribution in column B. Marketing wants styled quote card images for an Instagram Stories series. The brand has specific colors. The launch date is in three days.
The design team is in sprint and has two days of capacity allocated to something else entirely. The comms team looked at Canva, did the math on how long it would take to create 20 cards one at a time, and decided that wasn't the answer.
The bad version:
- Open Canva, create the first quote card from the template, export it, name the file, repeat for quote 2. Twenty passes. One accidental font size change midway through that requires redoing the last seven cards.
- Send the workbook to an offshore design team, pay for a rush turnaround, wait 48 hours, receive images that have the wrong brand color on three of them.
- Tell marketing the images will be ready "next week" and watch the Instagram launch window slip.
The quotes are written. The brand color is in cell E1. The bottleneck is pure execution.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads the quotes in column A and, through its built-in RiteKit integration, calls the text-to-image API with your brand color settings and writes the resulting image URLs back to column C — one for each quote.
Generate a styled quote card image for each of the 20 quotes in my Excel worksheet column A using RiteKit, using background color '#1A1A2E' and write the resulting image URLs to column C.
What You Get
- Column C: A hosted image URL for each quote — 20 links, ready for the social team to download and post
- Rows where column A is blank are skipped — no blank image URLs in the output
- Any row where RiteKit returns an error gets "IMAGE ERROR" in column C with the reason in column D
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Some quotes are too long for a square format — over 200 characters — and will get cut off
For each quote in column A, check the character count. If the quote exceeds 200 characters, write "TOO LONG" in column C and the character count in column D — do not call RiteKit for those rows. For quotes 200 characters or fewer, call RiteKit text-to-image with background color '#1A1A2E' and write the image URL to column C.
Two brand colors need to be used alternately — dark for odd rows, light for even rows
For each quote in column A, call RiteKit text-to-image. For odd-numbered rows, use background color '#1A1A2E'. For even-numbered rows, use background color '#F5F0E8'. Write the image URL to column C. Note the background color used in column D.
The images need to be generated in two sizes — square (1:1) for feed posts and vertical (9:16) for Stories
For each quote in column A, call RiteKit text-to-image twice: once with a 1:1 aspect ratio for feed posts and once with a 9:16 aspect ratio for Stories. Write the feed image URL to column C and the Stories image URL to column D. Skip rows where column A is blank.
I want to generate all 20 images, verify each URL is accessible, and package the delivery list for the social team in one pass
For each quote in column A, call RiteKit text-to-image with background color '#1A1A2E' and write the image URL to column C. After all 20 are generated, check each URL in column C — write "LIVE" or "BROKEN" in column D. Then create a new worksheet called "Social Team Delivery" with only the LIVE rows, formatted as: Quote | Attribution | Image URL — ready to hand off.
Generate, verify, and deliver in one operation.
