Inspiration

Content marketing can be powerful, but there are too many social media platforms to keep up with. I barely have enough time to run my business and hiring social media content manager can get expensive. Therefore, I wanted a more effective to funnel long-form content into shorter forms.

What it does

It converts Youtube video into text form content for Linkedin, Twitter and Threads

How we built it

We started building this on April 24, so that only gave us a week or so to build it. So we tried to keep it simple, Focus on a single feature: convert youtube video to social media text content Nothing fancy and a straight forward workflow: Youtube video -> transcript -> summary -> social media contents

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was handling the long process time when making request to Generative AI API. There are different timeout limitation on different platforms: vercel, cloud function, etc.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Setting pubsub infrastructure to handle the long running task and be able to scale in the future.

What we learned

Do it right the first time is faster than doing it somewhat right the first time.

What's next for PostScale

If we gain some traction, we are thinking about adding the following:

  1. Personalization for brand voice
  2. Customizable prompts
  3. Integration with platforms like Zapier to more automation
  4. Add more current social media specific context
