Short Info:
Felix Vemmer and his girlfriend embarked on a side project, GiftIdeasAI.xyz, a custom-built gift recommendation engine powered by OpenAI’s GPT. They faced challenges in attracting traffic and Google’s refusal to index their pages. The solution? Automating blog post cover image generation using Playwright and GPT-4.
Growth Strategy:
- Identify the problem: In this case, the lack of traffic and Google’s refusal to index their pages.
- Brainstorm solutions: They decided to attract traffic with long-tail keywords related to gift ideas and enhance their blog posts with attention-grabbing cover images.
- Experiment with different solutions: They initially tried using the Unsplash API for sourcing images but found it challenging to find the perfect picture for each specific keyword.
- Implement automation: They used Playwright and GPT-4 to automate the process of generating blog post cover images. They wrote a script that logs into Discord, retrieves blog post prompts from their database, posts the prompt, waits for image variations to be generated, retrieves the image URL, downloads the image, uploads it to an S3 Bucket, and updates the database record with the new URL.
