Inspiration

  • Many content creators struggle to repurpose long-form blogs into engaging Instagram carousels.
  • I wanted to automate this using AI to save time and effort.
  • This idea came from my own content creation experience and time spent on manual slide design.

What it does

  • Takes blog content as input and summarizes it.
  • Breaks content into slide-friendly chunks.
  • Outputs formatted slides ready to design in Adobe Express.

How I built it

  • Python for backend logic.
  • Hugging Face Transformers (T5/BART) for summarization.
  • Flask API for processing and communication.
  • Adobe Express Add-on SDK for integration.
  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JS.

Challenges

  • Maintaining clarity and coherence in summarized content.
  • Structuring the output to suit Instagram slide format.
  • Learning Adobe Express SDK integration quickly.

What I learned

  • How to embed AI into real-world creative workflows.
  • Dealing with UX for automation tools.
  • Gained hands-on experience with LLMs and SDK-based integrations.

What's next

  • Multi-language blog support.
  • AI-generated captions and hashtags.
  • Launching as a public Add-on for creators.
