Read the blog feed and pick the latest post.\n2. DeepSeek writes 5 slides (title + body); split them out.\n3. fal.ai generates a background per slide; upload each to Posta.\n4. Posta composites the text and builds the PDF; create the LinkedIn post.\n\n**Setup:** add Posta (Professional plan), DeepSeek, and fal.ai credentials.
