From Idea to Execution: Building an AI-Powered Publishing Assistant

Automation Revolutionizes Content Publishing

As a writer, I wanted to share my learning journey through writing. However, publishing the same article across multiple platforms (Dev.to, Hashnode, Medium, etc.) became repetitive, manual, and time-consuming.

What if an AI could take a master article, reformat it per platform, generate a unique title and tags, and directly publish it online?

This vision sparked the project you're reading about now — my autonomous content publishing agent.

The Problem We Solved

Manual Publishing Process

• Write a long article
• Rephrase slightly for each platform
• Generate platform-friendly titles and tags
• Manually log in and post

New Process

1. Paste a master article
2. Select which platforms I want to post to
3. Click Publish

The agent handles:
* Rewriting the article using Groq + LLaMA3 (8B)
* Generating platform-specific titles and 3 smart tags
* Posting via API to Dev.to and Hashnode
* Returning live links to the published articles

Behind the Scenes

Technology Stack

• Python + Streamlit for the interface
• Groq API + LLaMA3 8B for fast, smart AI completions
• Custom prompts per platform (Dev.to, Hashnode, etc.)
• Autonomous tag and title generators
• Direct posting via REST and GraphQL APIs

All environment secrets like API keys are stored safely in .env.

Struggles and Fixes Along the Way

Challenges

• Dev.to rejected posts with >4 tags → fixed by slicing to 3
• Hashnode drafts weren’t showing → switched to publishPost mutation
• Groq was crashing → added load_dotenv() properly
• Random LLM outputs → refined prompts per platform
• Broken URLs → built correct slug-based URLs using .env subdomain

Every fix made the agent more stable, more autonomous, and more fun to use.

What's Next?

Future Plans

• Substack and Medium integration
• Twitter/X thread generation from long-form content
• Scheduling and preview publishing
• Analytics on post performance
• Open-source release for other student builders

Final Thoughts

If you're serious about building an audience or writing online while managing a full schedule, you need automation. And not just schedulers — real intelligence that adapts your message to each platform.

This project helped me build that — and it’s only just the beginning.
