Project_Overview
A digital marketing and thought leadership agency needed to maintain high-frequency LinkedIn presence for multiple clients without their team spending 10+ hours a week on manual drafting and scheduling. We built a fully autonomous content pipeline — from trend detection to published post — with a single human touchpoint for quality control.
Operational_Process
Built an n8n workflow with modular stages: RSS/news scraping → GPT-4 content synthesis in brand voice → secondary LLM prompt chain for image generation → DALL-E 3 visual creation → Slack approval notification → LinkedIn API scheduled posting. Used Airtable as a headless CMS for content management.

Implemented few-shot prompting feeding the AI 5-10 of the client's highest-performing posts before each generation — enabling authentic brand voice replication.
Built robust OAuth2 token refresh logic within n8n that automatically renews credentials before expiry — ensuring zero pipeline interruptions.
Created a secondary LLM chain that translates the post's core message and industry context into a detailed, specific image prompt before passing to DALL-E 3.
Used Airtable as a headless CMS — giving the client a familiar spreadsheet-like interface to review, edit, and plan months of content without any custom software.
