Repo: github.com/AI-Answer/content-factory
Live demo: glacial-geyser-vwbp.here.now/app/
A pre-built content strategy system you run locally.
The value is not the scraper. It is the intelligence, logic, and process — already designed:
Research winners first → understand why they work → choose an angle → produce deliberately → publish as a trial → learn and repeat.
Most people can ask AI for post ideas. What they lack is the operating logic: what to study, how to judge virality, how to extract patterns, when to approve an angle, which format fits, and how performance feeds next week. That thinking is the product. The code makes it repeatable.

Demo: glacial-geyser-vwbp.here.now/app/?workspace=empty#system (empty workspace — learn the process first) · with sample data
| Stage | What happens | Why | You decide |
|---|---|---|---|
| ① Collect evidence | Scrape competitor reels | Strategy needs proof, not vibes | Which accounts to study |
| ② Study the market | Rank breakouts, extract hooks/themes/formats | The idea matters more than polish | Which patterns fit your audience |
| ③ Choose angles | Ideas tied to source reels | Generic prompts fail; angles need evidence | Approve or skip each idea |
| ④ Make the asset | Scripted / remake / avatar / carousel | Same angle, different execution paths | Script, film, advance status |
| ⑤ Publish & learn | Schedule + performance snapshots | One number means little; history guides next week | Repeat, revise, or retire |
Each stage in the dashboard explains: what happens · why it matters · what you decide · what moves forward.
| Mode | When to use |
|---|---|
| Scripted | Talking-head authority — record, cut silence, captions, music |
| Remake | Winning format is B-roll + trending audio + on-screen text |
| Avatar | Scale without filming — HeyGen + B-roll + render |
| Carousel | Educational/list content as branded slides |
