How I Replaced a $150/campaign Content Team with a $0.02/campaign AI System (Step-by-Step Build)
A client reached out recently with a straightforward request: he wanted to streamline his content workflow and potentially offer a similar system to other businesses. The challenge was real, creating consistent LinkedIn posts, X threads, and blog articles was eating up time and budget. He needed something that could handle research and content generation automatically, without the ongoing cost of freelancers or the hassle of managing a content team. So I built The Content Engine. Here's what it does: ✅ Researches any topic using multi-source intelligence (Tavily API) ✅ Generates 3 content pieces in one shot (LinkedIn, X thread, Blog) ✅ Auto-uploads to Google Sheets with status tracking ✅ Costs $0.021 per campaign($0 per campaign if you use the tricks I have shown in the video) (vs $60-150 manual) ✅ Runs in 30 seconds, no human needed Video walkthrough: https://www.loom.com/share/87e0e0faca9747e3952fdaa1654630d9 In the video, I walk through: The system architecture (Google Sheets → Tavily → Groq → Auto-upload) Live demo: watch content + images generate in real-time The ROI math (spoiler: 99.9% cost savings) Live workflow extension: I add image generation in real-time (something that would take 1.5 hours in n8n) How you can build your own version 🎁 Free resources included: Full source code (Python - sanitized, production-ready) Complete documentation (README, setup guide, LLM prompt) Google Sheets template The presentation slides from the video Here's the free resources: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18px9N5zGJTcP4scUQH8hSjnLr3yhXD8P?usp=drive_link Who is this for? If you're learning AI/automation — steal this. Tinker with it. Make it yours. If you run a content marketing agency — this might save you $3,000+/month. If you just like watching people build stuff — enjoy the walkthrough.
