CreatorFlow AI

Inspiration

Marketing campaigns require a lot of time, creativity, and effort. Small businesses, creators, and startups often struggle to create professional marketing content, ad copy, and promotional visuals quickly. We wanted to build a platform that uses Artificial Intelligence to automate this process and help users generate high-quality marketing campaigns within seconds.

The goal of CreatorFlow AI is to make professional marketing accessible to everyone, regardless of their design or copywriting experience.

What it does

CreatorFlow AI is an AI-powered marketing platform that allows users to:

Create an account and securely log in.
Generate complete marketing campaigns from a simple prompt.
Automatically generate:
- Headlines
- Descriptions
- Calls-to-action (CTAs)
- Marketing hashtags
Store campaign history for each user.
View previously generated campaigns in a personal dashboard.
Manage campaigns through a modern web interface.

How we built it

The project consists of a full-stack architecture:

Frontend

Next.js
React
TypeScript
Tailwind CSS

Backend

FastAPI
SQLAlchemy
SQLite

AI Services
