Marketing Pipeline Automated Content

Skill by ara.so — Marketing Skills collection.

This skill provides expertise in using the Ultimate AI Content Pipeline - a TypeScript-based system that automates the entire content creation workflow from research and scriptwriting to video generation. The system integrates Claude 3, OpenAI, and Remotion to create a complete content production pipeline.

What This Project Does

The Marketing Pipeline automates:

1. Auto-Research: Crawls news sources (TechCrunch, a16z, Twitter, LinkedIn) for recent data
2. Multi-Format Content: Generates articles in various formats (toplist, POV, case study, how-to)
3. Bilingual Output: Creates content in both English and Vietnamese
4. Video Generation: Automatically renders videos and infographics using Remotion
5. Multi-Platform Export: Optimizes content for Reels, TikTok, Shorts

Core API Usage

1. Research & Crawling

import { crawlNews } from '@/lib/crawlers/news-crawler';
import { analyzeResearch } from '@/lib/ai/research-analyzer';

async function gatherResearch(keyword: string) {
  // Crawl recent news from multiple sources
  const newsData = await crawlNews({
    keyword,
    sources: ['techcrunch', 'a16z', 'twitter', 'linkedin'],
    timeframe: '24h'
  });

  // Analyze with Claude for insights
  const insights = await analyzeResearch(newsData, {
    model: 'claude-3-opus-20240229',
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  });

  return {
    rawData: newsData,
    insights: insights,
    statistics: insights.statistics
  };
}

2. Content Generation

import { generateContent } from '@/lib/content/generator';
import { ContentFormat, Language, Tone } from '@/lib/content/types';

async function createArticle(research: any, options: {
  format: ContentFormat;
  language: Language;
  tone: Tone;
}) {
  const content = await generateContent({
    research,
    format: options.format, // 'toplist' | 'pov' | 'case-study' | 'how-to'
    language: options.language, // 'en' | 'vi'
    tone: options.tone, // 'professional' | 'friendly' | 'humorous'
    aiProvider: 'claude', // or 'openai'
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  });

  return {
    title: content.title,
    body: content.body,
    metadata: content.metadata,
    seoKeywords: content.keywords
  };
}

// Example: Generate bilingual content
async function generateBilingualContent(keyword: string) {
  const research = await gatherResearch(keyword);
  
  const [english, vietnamese] = await Promise.all([
    createArticle(research, {
      format: 'toplist',
      language: 'en',
      tone: 'professional'
    }),
    createArticle(research, {
      format: 'toplist',
      language: 'vi',
      tone: 'friendly'
    })
  ]);

  return { english, vietnamese };
}

3. Video Generation with Remotion

import { bundle } from '@remotion/bundler';
import { renderMedia, selectComposition } from '@remotion/renderer';
import { VideoComposition } from '@/remotion/compositions/ContentVideo';

async function generateVideo(content: {
  title: string;
  points: string[];
  images?: string[];
}) {
  // Bundle Remotion project
  const bundleLocation = await bundle({
    entryPoint: './src/remotion/index.ts',
    webpackOverride: (config) => config
  });

  // Select composition
  const composition = await selectComposition({
    serveUrl: bundleLocation,
    id: 'ContentVideo',
    inputProps: {
      title: content.title,
      points: content.points,
      images: content.images || []
    }
  });

  // Render video
  const outputLocation = `./output/video-${Date.now()}.mp4`;
  await renderMedia({
    composition,
    serveUrl: bundleLocation,
    codec: 'h264',
    outputLocation,
    inputProps: composition.defaultProps
  });

  return outputLocation;
}

// Generate platform-specific videos
async function generatePlatformVideos(content: any) {
  const platforms = [
    { name: 'reels', width: 1080, height: 1920 },
    { name: 'tiktok', width: 1080, height: 1920 },
    { name: 'youtube-shorts', width: 1080, height: 1920 }
  ];

  const videos = await Promise.all(
    platforms.map(platform => 
      generateVideo({
        ...content,
        dimensions: { width: platform.width, height: platform.height }
      })
    )
  );

  return videos;
}

4. Complete Pipeline

import { ContentPipeline } from '@/lib/pipeline';

async function runCompletePipeline(keyword: string) {
  const pipeline = new ContentPipeline({
    claudeApiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
    openaiApiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
    rapidApiKey: process.env.RAPIDAPI_KEY
  });

  // Execute full pipeline
  const result = await pipeline.execute({
    keyword,
    formats: ['toplist', 'how-to'],
    languages: ['en', 'vi'],
    generateVideo: true,
    platforms: ['reels', 'tiktok', 'youtube-shorts']
  });

  return {
    research: result.research,
    articles: result.articles, // Array of generated articles
    videos: result.videos,     // Array of rendered videos
    metadata: result.metadata
  };
}

// Usage
const output = await runCompletePipeline('AI marketing automation 2024');
console.log(`Generated ${output.articles.length} articles`);
console.log(`Generated ${output.videos.length} videos`);

Common Patterns

Custom Content Format

import { defineContentFormat } from '@/lib/content/formats';

const customFormat = defineContentFormat({
  name: 'comparison',
  structure: {
    introduction: { required: true },
    comparisonTable: { required: true },
    pros: { required: true },
    cons: { required: true },
    conclusion: { required: true }
  },
  prompt: `
    Create a detailed comparison article about {topic}.
    Include a comparison table, pros and cons for each option,
    and a clear conclusion with recommendations.
  `
});

const article = await generateContent({
  research: researchData,
  format: customFormat,
  language: 'en',
  tone: 'professional'
});

Scheduled Content Generation

import { scheduleContentGeneration } from '@/lib/scheduler';

// Schedule daily content generation
scheduleContentGeneration({
  keywords: ['AI trends', 'marketing automation', 'content strategy'],
  schedule: '0 9 * * *', // 9 AM daily
  formats: ['toplist', 'pov'],
  languages: ['en', 'vi'],
  onComplete: async (results) => {
    // Auto-publish or save to CMS
    await publishToWordPress(results.articles);
    await uploadToYouTube(results.videos);
  }
});

Custom Video Template

// src/remotion/compositions/CustomTemplate.tsx
import { AbsoluteFill, Sequence, useCurrentFrame } from 'remotion';

export const CustomVideoTemplate: React.FC<{
  title: string;
  points: string[];
}> = ({ title, points }) => {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();

  return (
    <AbsoluteFill style={{ backgroundColor: '#000' }}>
      <Sequence from={0} durationInFrames={60}>
        <h1 style={{ color: '#fff', fontSize: 60 }}>{title}</h1>
      </Sequence>
      {points.map((point, i) => (
        <Sequence key={i} from={60 + i * 90} durationInFrames={90}>
          <div style={{ color: '#fff', fontSize: 40 }}>{point}</div>
        </Sequence>
      ))}
    </AbsoluteFill>
  );
};

CLI Commands

Troubleshooting

API Rate Limits

import { RateLimiter } from '@/lib/utils/rate-limiter';

const limiter = new RateLimiter({
  maxRequests: 50,
  perMilliseconds: 60000 // 50 requests per minute
});

async function crawlWithRateLimit(urls: string[]) {
  const results = [];
  for (const url of urls) {
    await limiter.wait();
    const data = await fetch(url);
    results.push(data);
  }
  return results;
}

Video Rendering Errors

// Ensure ffmpeg is installed
// Linux/Mac: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
// Windows: Download from ffmpeg.org

// Increase timeout for long videos
await renderMedia({
  composition,
  serveUrl: bundleLocation,
  outputLocation,
  timeoutInMilliseconds: 120000 // 2 minutes
});

Claude API Errors

import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';

const anthropic = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
});

try {
  const message = await anthropic.messages.create({
    model: 'claude-3-opus-20240229',
    max_tokens: 4096,
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: prompt }]
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.status === 429) {
    // Rate limit - implement exponential backoff
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
  } else if (error.status === 400) {
    // Invalid request - check prompt length
    console.error('Invalid request:', error.message);
  }
}

Memory Issues with Large Content

// Process in chunks for large datasets
async function processLargeDataset(items: any[], chunkSize = 10) {
  const results = [];
  
  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += chunkSize) {
    const chunk = items.slice(i, i + chunkSize);
    const chunkResults = await Promise.all(
      chunk.map(item => processItem(item))
    );
    results.push(...chunkResults);
    
    // Clear memory between chunks
    if (global.gc) global.gc();
  }
  
  return results;
}

Best Practices

1. Always validate API keys before starting long-running pipelines
2. Cache research data to avoid redundant crawling
3. Use queues for video rendering to prevent memory overflow
4. Implement retry logic for API calls with exponential backoff
5. Monitor costs when using paid AI APIs (Claude, OpenAI)
6. Store generated content with proper versioning and metadata
