Marketing Pipeline AI Content Automation

Skill by ara.so — Marketing Skills collection.

Overview

Marketing Pipeline is a comprehensive TypeScript-based content automation system that creates a complete content production pipeline. It automatically:

1. Research - Scrapes and analyzes real-time data from sources like TechCrunch, a16z, Twitter, and LinkedIn
2. Content Generation - Uses Claude 3 and OpenAI to create content in multiple formats (Top lists, POV, Case Studies, How-to)
3. Multi-language Output - Generates content in both English and Vietnamese with customizable tone
4. Video Rendering - Automatically converts content to videos and infographics using Remotion

Core Workflows

1. Research & Data Collection

Scraping Recent Content

import { ResearchEngine } from './src/research/engine';

// Initialize research engine
const researcher = new ResearchEngine({
  sources: ['techcrunch', 'a16z', 'twitter', 'linkedin'],
  timeframe: '24h',
  keywords: ['AI', 'marketing automation']
});

// Fetch and analyze data
const insights = await researcher.gather();

console.log(insights);
// {
//   articles: [...],
//   trends: [...],
//   keyInsights: [...],
//   dataPoints: [...]
// }

Custom Source Configuration

import { SourceConfig } from './src/research/types';

const customSource: SourceConfig = {
  name: 'custom-blog',
  url: 'https://example.com/blog',
  selectors: {
    title: '.post-title',
    content: '.post-content',
    date: '.post-date'
  },
  rateLimit: 1000 // ms between requests
};

const researcher = new ResearchEngine({
  customSources: [customSource]
});

2. AI Content Generation

Using Claude for Content Creation

import { ClaudeContentGenerator } from './src/ai/claude';

const generator = new ClaudeContentGenerator({
  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
  model: 'claude-3-opus-20240229'
});

// Generate content from research data
const content = await generator.create({
  research: insights,
  format: 'toplist',
  language: 'en',
  tone: 'professional',
  targetAudience: 'marketers',
  wordCount: 1500
});

console.log(content);
// {
//   title: "Top 10 AI Marketing Trends in 2024",
//   body: "...",
//   metadata: { ... }
// }

OpenAI Integration

import { OpenAIContentGenerator } from './src/ai/openai';

const openaiGen = new OpenAIContentGenerator({
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
  model: 'gpt-4-turbo-preview'
});

// Generate multiple format variations
const variations = await openaiGen.createVariations({
  baseContent: content,
  formats: ['how-to', 'case-study', 'pov'],
  count: 3
});

Multi-language Generation

import { MultiLanguageGenerator } from './src/ai/multilang';

const mlGenerator = new MultiLanguageGenerator({
  claudeKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
  openaiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
});

// Generate parallel English and Vietnamese content
const bilingualContent = await mlGenerator.generateParallel({
  research: insights,
  languages: ['en', 'vi'],
  format: 'toplist',
  maintainTone: true
});

console.log(bilingualContent.en.title);
console.log(bilingualContent.vi.title);

3. Video Generation with Remotion

Basic Video Rendering

import { bundle } from '@remotion/bundler';
import { renderMedia, selectComposition } from '@remotion/renderer';
import { ContentToVideoConverter } from './src/video/converter';

// Convert content to video props
const converter = new ContentToVideoConverter();
const videoProps = converter.transform(content);

// Bundle Remotion composition
const bundled = await bundle({
  entryPoint: './remotion/index.ts',
  webpackOverride: (config) => config
});

// Get composition
const composition = await selectComposition({
  serveUrl: bundled,
  id: 'ContentVideo',
  inputProps: videoProps
});

// Render video
await renderMedia({
  composition,
  serveUrl: bundled,
  codec: 'h264',
  outputLocation: `out/${content.title}.mp4`,
  inputProps: videoProps
});

Custom Video Template

// remotion/ContentVideo.tsx
import { AbsoluteFill, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from 'remotion';

export const ContentVideo: React.FC<{
  title: string;
  points: string[];
  branding: BrandConfig;
}> = ({ title, points, branding }) => {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
  const { fps } = useVideoConfig();

  return (
    <AbsoluteFill style={{ backgroundColor: branding.bgColor }}>
      <div style={{ padding: 60 }}>
        <h1 style={{ 
          fontSize: 60, 
          color: branding.textColor,
          opacity: Math.min(1, frame / 30)
        }}>
          {title}
        </h1>
        {points.map((point, idx) => (
          <p 
            key={idx}
            =
               ,
                > (idx + 1) * fps ? 1 : 0,
              transition: 'opacity 0.5s'
            }}
          >
            {point}
          
        ))}
      
    
  );
};

Platform-Specific Export

import { PlatformOptimizer } from './src/video/optimizer';

const optimizer = new PlatformOptimizer();

// Render for multiple platforms
const platforms = ['tiktok', 'reels', 'shorts'];

for (const platform of platforms) {
  const config = optimizer.getConfig(platform);
  
  await renderMedia({
    composition,
    serveUrl: bundled,
    codec: 'h264',
    outputLocation: `out/${platform}/${content.title}.mp4`,
    inputProps: videoProps,
    width: config.width,
    height: config.height,
    fps: config.fps
  });
}

4. Complete Pipeline Automation

import { ContentPipeline } from './src/pipeline';

// Initialize full pipeline
const pipeline = new ContentPipeline({
  research: {
    sources: ['techcrunch', 'a16z'],
    timeframe: '24h'
  },
  ai: {
    provider: 'claude',
    apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
    fallbackProvider: 'openai',
    fallbackKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
  },
  video: {
    enabled: true,
    platforms: ['tiktok', 'reels', 'shorts']
  },
  output: {
    directory: './output',
    formats: ['markdown', 'html', 'json']
  }
});

// Execute full pipeline
const results = await pipeline.execute({
  keyword: 'AI marketing automation',
  contentFormats: ['toplist', 'how-to'],
  languages: ['en', 'vi'],
  generateVideos: 
});

.(results);

API Reference

  constructor(config: ResearchConfig);
  gather(): Promise<ResearchInsights>;
  addSource(source: SourceConfig): void;
  setTimeframe(timeframe: string): void;
}

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Daily Content Automation

import cron from 'node-cron';

// Schedule daily content generation at 6 AM
cron.schedule('0 6 * * *', async () => {
  const pipeline = new ContentPipeline(defaultConfig);
  
  const results = await pipeline.execute({
    keyword: 'trending tech news',
    contentFormats: ['toplist'],
    languages: ['en'],
    generateVideos: true
  });
  
  // Auto-publish to platforms
  await publishToWordPress(results.content[0]);
  await uploadToYouTube(results.videos[0]);
});

Pattern 2: Multi-Topic Content Generation

const topics = [
  'AI marketing trends',
  'Social media automation',
  'Content creation tools'
];

const batchResults = await Promise.all(
  topics.map(topic => 
    pipeline.execute({
      keyword: topic,
      contentFormats: ['how-to'],
      languages: ['en', 'vi']
    })
  )
);

Pattern 3: Custom AI Prompt Engineering

import { PromptTemplate } from './src/ai/prompts';

const customTemplate = new PromptTemplate({
  system: `You are an expert marketing content writer specializing in ${industry}.`,
  user: `Create a ${format} article about ${topic} targeting ${audience}.
         Include:
         - Data-backed insights from recent research
         - Actionable takeaways
         - SEO-optimized structure
         Research data: ${researchData}`
});

const content = await generator.create({
  prompt: customTemplate.render({
    industry: 'SaaS',
    format: 'case-study',
    topic: insights.mainTrend,
    audience: 'startup founders',
    researchData: JSON.stringify(insights)
  })
});

Troubleshooting

Issue: API Rate Limits

// Implement exponential backoff
import { retry } from './src/utils/retry';

const content = await retry(
  () => generator.create(params),
  {
    maxAttempts: 3,
    delayMs: 1000,
    exponentialBackoff: true
  }
);

Issue: Video Rendering Memory Issues

// Use concurrency limits
import pLimit from 'p-limit';

const limit = pLimit(2); // Max 2 concurrent renders

const videoPromises = platforms.map(platform =>
  limit(() => renderForPlatform(platform, content))
);

await Promise.all(videoPromises);

Issue: Scraping Failures

// Add fallback sources
const researcher = new ResearchEngine({
  sources: ['techcrunch', 'a16z'],
  fallbackSources: ['medium', 'dev.to'],
  onSourceFail: (source, error) => {
    console.warn(`Source ${source} failed:`, error);
  },
  minSourcesRequired: 1
});

Issue: Content Quality Validation

import { ContentValidator } from './src/utils/validator';

const validator = new ContentValidator({
  minWordCount: 1000,
  requireHeadings: true,
  checkReadability: true
});

const content = await generator.create(params);

if (!validator.validate(content)) {
  // Regenerate with refined prompt
  content = await generator.refine(content, validator.getSuggestions());
}

CLI Usage

If the project includes CLI commands:

# Generate content from keyword
npm run generate -- --keyword "AI trends" --format toplist --lang en

# Run full pipeline
npm run pipeline -- --config ./config/production.json

# Render video only
npm run render -- --input ./content/article.json --platform reels

# Schedule automated runs
npm run schedule -- --cron "0 6 * * *" --topics ./topics.json

Best Practices

1. Always use environment variables for API keys
2. Implement rate limiting when scraping external sources
3. Cache research data to avoid redundant API calls
4. Validate content quality before rendering videos
5. Use concurrency limits for video rendering to manage resources
6. Set up error monitoring for production pipelines
7. Version control your prompt templates for reproducible results
