MarketGenie: Your AI Marketing Agent

Inspiration

Small businesses and creators lack time and resources to plan engaging, multi-platform social campaigns. We imagined an AI “genie” that translates product details into ready-to-post content in seconds.

What it does

MarketGenie ingests your campaign info—budget, product, audience—and uses Claude to auto-generate post titles, descriptions, schedules and formats for Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc., then saves them for review or direct publishing.

How we built it

•⁠ ⁠Frontend: Next.js + Auth0 for SSO and user profiles
•⁠ ⁠Backend: Express.js + PostgreSQL on AWS RDS for campaigns & assets
•⁠ ⁠AI: Anthropic Claude via ⁠ @anthropic-ai/sdk ⁠ to craft JSON post arrays

Challenges we ran into

•⁠ ⁠Handling database connectivity and SSL setup on RDS
•⁠ ⁠Parsing strict JSON from LLM responses and validating the schema
•⁠ ⁠Synchronizing Auth0 sessions between Next.js and Express, fixing CORS, and also setting up the X-ai

Accomplishments that we're proud of

•⁠ ⁠End-to-end flow from user signup to campaign creation, asset generation, and listing
•⁠ ⁠Reliable Claude integration that produces consistent, valid JSON
•⁠ ⁠A polished, responsive UI in minutes with Chakra’s theming

What we learned

•⁠ ⁠Real-world Express/Postgres setup on AWS RDS, including migrations
•⁠ ⁠Robust error handling for LLM outputs and TypeScript event typing
•⁠ ⁠Best practices for Auth0 in Next.js + separate API, plus CORS & security

What's next for MarketGenie: Your AI Marketing Agent

•⁠ ⁠Integrate direct posting to social APIs (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn)
•⁠ ⁠Enable media uploads and AI-assisted image/video creation
•⁠ ⁠Add analytics dashboard with engagement metrics
•⁠ ⁠Build scheduling workflows and reminders (n8n / DuploCloud MCP)
•⁠ ⁠Expand to more sponsors’ tools (Apify scraping, Senso.ai insights)
