AI Content Generator
Southernwise.life
An autonomous content engine that curates timeless wisdom from public domain literature — delivered in the warm, plainspoken voice of a southern grandma.
The Challenge
Build an autonomous system that generates authentic, meaningful content at scale — without losing the human touch. The content needed to resonate emotionally while being fully automated, and publish intelligently across multiple platforms without repetition or fatigue.
What I Built
Content Pipeline
- → AI-powered lesson curation from public domain wisdom literature
- → Hybrid AI ranking (Gemini for research, OpenAI for creative writing)
- → Character-driven voice generation (Memaw Athena persona)
Multi-Format Content Generation
- → Quote cards via Google Slides templates
- → Multi-slide carousels (1:1 for IG, 9:16 for TikTok)
- → Video reels via Remotion (Ken Burns effects, transitions)
- → Slideshow reels from Google Slides (9:16 format)
Multi-Channel Publishing
- → Publish to social platforms via API
Intelligent Scheduling
- → Cross-platform deduplication (no lesson repeats)
- → Content-level deduplication across platforms
- → Recurring schedule config (days, times, content types)
