Project Overview

I am looking for a specialized developer to build a fully automated, “set and forget” media production engine. The system will handle the entire lifecycle of a digital brand—from initial research to final publication—without manual daily intervention.

⸻

Key Objectives & System Logic

The system must be built using advanced automation tools (preferably n8n) to create a seamless pipeline:

1. Automated Research

The system must scrape and analyze trending topics within a specific niche using advanced search APIs (Exa, Perplexity, Firecrawl).

2. Scripting & Persona

Using GPT-4o, the engine will draft high-quality, engaging scripts based on the research. This requires expert-level prompt engineering to ensure the output consistently sounds like a specific human personality.

3. Voice & Post-Production
• Integration with ElevenLabs for high-end voice synthesis
• Programmatic audio/video editing (using FFMPEG or similar) to add intros, outros, and background elements

4. Omnichannel Distribution
• Automatic distribution to podcast hosting platforms via API
• Generation and posting of video content for short-form platforms like TikTok and YouTube

5. Reliability Framework

The system must include advanced error handling and logic to manage API limits and potential failures autonomously.

Yea the phrase “I can automate that” so I know you read and understand the job and can do it I will be asking questions to make sure you are a good fit please bid your price
