| Hi HN, I'm a CTO-turned-solo-founder who got tired of seeing "vibe marketing" success stories (looking at you, Greg Isenberg) without the technical implementation details. So I spent 3 hours building and recording a complete marketing automation system. *What it does:*
- Claude AI analyzes your writing style and generates content
- Runs through custom keyword optimization algo
- Passes through humanizer algo for authentic voice
- Node.js project pushes to Google Sheets for manual approval
- Zapier picks up approved content → Buffer schedules it
- One command: `npm run generate:weekly` → 2 daily X posts + 3 weekly long-form *Tech stack:*
- Anthropic Claude API for content generation
- Custom Node.js algorithms for keyword optimization + humanization
- Google Sheets as approval workflow
- Zapier for automation workflows
- Buffer API for scheduling
- Cost: ~$0.15/week (just API calls) *Architecture decisions:*
The Google Sheets approval step was crucial. Pure automation felt too risky for brand voice. Now I can review/edit before publishing while keeping 90% of the workflow automated. The humanizer algo was the trickiest part - had to fine-tune prompts to maintain my technical writing style while avoiding AI-generated "fluff." *Why this approach:*
Most marketing tools are either expensive ($100+/month) or completely generic. This learns YOUR voice but gives you control over what actually gets published. *Current workflow:*
1. `npm run generate:weekly`
2. Review Google Sheet, flip approved posts to "confirmed"
3. Everything else happens automatically *Demo:* I recorded the entire 3-hour build session here: https://x.com/GashiDite/status/1934686143196311841 Let me know what you think |
