Built AI tool that Writes Article + SEO in 1 click

Most AI tools can generate content, but very few can handle the entire blogging workflow, from research, to SEO, to publishing.

Here is how I made it the best AI blog article writer :

What problem does it solve ?

  • It generates long-form articles (1600–4000 words) with structured headings, metadata, and schema.
  • It automatically applies on-page SEO (meta tags, keyword optimization, image alt text, readability scoring).
  • It integrates directly with WordPress (and other CMS) so the content is published in one click.

The workflow is designed with developers and marketers in mind: automation, reliability, and scalability. What used to take hours (sometimes days) can now be done in less than a minute.

In this post, I’ll break down the technical architecture, the stack I used, and how the system evolved from a simple content generator into a full-scale AI blog writing engine.

For anyone building SaaS or experimenting with AI + automation, this is a blueprint for turning a complex multi-step process into a frictionless experience.

Why I Built This

Content creation is always the biggest bottleneck for businesses and bloggers. Even with AI writers, you still need to:

  1. Research keywords.
  2. Optimize for SEO.
  3. Find images and videos.
  4. Format the content.
  5. Publish to WordPress (or another CMS).

Each step eats up time, breaks your flow, and adds manual overhead. I wanted to build something that collapses the entire workflow into one click - no handoff, no extra tools, no wasted hours.


The Core Workflow

(a more detailed description is in NanyBot Blog)

User Input & Validation

  • User enters a keyword or YouTube link.
  • Settings allow brand voice instructions and SEO preferences.
  • A validation layer ensures input quality before triggering generation.

AI-Powered Research

  • Fetches top search results with Google Custom Search.
  • Extracts insights, headlines, and competitive content structure.
  • Optionally, processes YouTube transcripts for video-based articles.

Article Generation

  • Orchestrated with GPT models for 1600–4000 words.
  • Generates metadata, H1–H4 structure, slug, and SEO-friendly text.
  • Expands each section in parallel for performance.

SEO Optimization

  • Auto-creates meta title + description.
  • Adds internal links (scans WordPress site).
  • Ensures keyword density and readability balance.

Media Automation

  • Fetches Pexels images with smart AI selection.
  • Embeds relevant YouTube videos.
  • Auto-generates alt text and captions for SEO.

Publishing

  • Pushes directly to WordPress via REST API.
  • Uploads featured image.
  • Injects RankMath/Yoast metadata.
  • Supports auto-scheduling and categorization.

Technical Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js 14 (with SSR), React 18, Redux Toolkit, Tailwind CSS.
  • Backend: Node.js + Express, Socket.io for real-time updates, Supabase for auth.
  • AI Layer: OpenAI GPT-4o-mini for cost-efficient long-form content.
  • External APIs: Google Custom Search, Pexels, YouTube Data API, WordPress REST API.
  • Infrastructure: Docker, Redis (caching + scheduling), PM2 for process management.

Everything runs with parallelization and caching, so even a 3000-word article with images, links, and SEO optimization is ready in 50–70 seconds.


Value It Creates

  • For bloggers: no need to juggle 5 different tools to go from idea → live article.
  • For agencies: scale content production across clients with multi-tenant architecture.
  • For enterprises: autopilot system generates content calendars, clusters keywords, and schedules posts at scale.

Bottom line: It reduces article production time by 95%, while maintaining SEO quality and consistency.


What’s Next

The system already handles research, writing, SEO, and publishing. The next frontier is:

  • Full analytics integration to measure content performance.
  • More CMS connectors (Ghost, Webflow, Shopify).
  • Smarter keyword clustering for autopilot campaigns.

This project is both a tech experiment and a real-world SaaS. If you’re building with AI and automation, I’d love to hear your thoughts. How would you extend this?
