Business Logic

Content Generation (AI)

Trigger: User clicks "Generate" on task
AI Function: GenerateContentFunction
Credit Cost: Based on AI tokens used (see AIModelConfig)

Flow:

1. User has task with title, keywords, word count target
2. Frontend calls POST /tasks/{id}/generate_content/
3. Backend validates task and credits
4. AIEngine executes GenerateContentFunction:
   • Loads account's AI prompts and strategy
   • Sends to GPT-4 with structured output
   • Receives HTML content with proper structure
5. Creates Content record linked to task
6. Updates task status to completed
7. Returns content for review

Image Prompt Generation (AI)

Trigger: Part of content generation or explicit
AI Function: GenerateImagePromptsFunction
Credit Cost: Based on AI tokens used (see AIModelConfig)

Flow:

1. Content exists with body
2. AI analyzes content sections
3. Generates prompts for:
   • Featured image (1)
   • In-article images (configurable count)
4. Creates Images records with prompts, status=pending

Image Generation (AI)

Trigger: User clicks "Generate Images" or automation
AI Function: GenerateImagesFunction
Credit Cost: Deducted per image (see AIModelConfig.credits_per_image)

Flow:

1. Image record exists with prompt, status=pending
2. Backend calls DALL-E or Runware API
3. Receives image URL
4. Updates Images record with URL, status=completed

WordPress Publishing

Trigger: User clicks "Publish to WordPress"
Credit Cost: None

Flow:

1. Content is in approved status
2. Site has WordPress integration configured
3. Backend calls WordPress REST API:
   • Creates/updates post
   • Uploads featured image
   • Sets categories/tags
4. Updates Content with wordpress_id
5. Sets status to published

Content Status Flow

                    ↓
              (rejected) → draft (revision)

Content too short	Low word count target	Increase target in task
Images not generating	No prompts created	Run image prompt generation first
WordPress publish fails	Invalid credentials	Check integration settings
Content stuck in draft	No manual status update	Update status via UI or API
Duplicate content	Re-running generation	Check if content already exists
