What It Does

Complete end-to-end content creation pipeline. Takes brand files and product photos, generates images and videos using multiple AI providers, manages everything through Airtable, and schedules posts via Blotato across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

This is the most complete system in the collection — it extends R56's generation engine with campaign planning, social scheduling, brand voice files, and Modal deployment.

Architecture

Brand Files  →  Agent reads context  →  Campaign Calendar (Airtable)
(BRAND.md)      (AGENT.md brain)         30 days of content planned

Campaign  →  Generate prompts  →  Airtable review  →  Human approves

Approved  →  Provider Registry  →  Google / Kie / WaveSpeed  →  Airtable
              routes to best           (images + videos)         (output)
              available model

Content  →  Blotato scheduling  →  Multi-platform posting
              (SKILL.md)            with timezone handling

Cost Estimates

Generation	Model	Provider	Cost	Time
Image	Imagen 3	Google	Free tier	~10-30s
Image	NanoBanana Pro	Kie AI	$0.09	~30-60s
Video 5s	Veo 3.1	Google	Free tier	~1-2 min
Video 5s	Kling 3.0	Kie AI	$0.28	~2-4 min
Video 5s	Sora 2 Pro	WaveSpeed	$0.50	~2-5 min

Example: 30-day campaign (30 images + 10 videos) ≈ $5.50

Key Rules

1. Show Costs Before Generating — Display estimate and get explicit confirmation
2. Human Review at Each Stage — Prompts → Airtable → approval → generation → review
3. Use Brand Voice Files — Always read *_BRAND.md before generating content

Common Pitfalls

Problem	Cause	Fix
Wrong provider for model	R57 defaults Kling to Kie AI	Check provider registry in tools/providers/init.py
Brand voice inconsistent	Missing BRAND.md file	Create comprehensive brand file before generating
Blotato timezone issues	Server vs user timezone mismatch	Use Blotato's useNextFreeSlot for auto-scheduling
