⚡ AI Workflow Pipeline
A reference architecture for automated content operations — research, generate, QA, publish, analyze. All serverless, all programmable.
🏗️ Pipeline Architecture
🔧 Key Capabilities
Cron-based execution with configurable time slots, per-slot templates, and delivery targets
Swap LLM providers per pipeline stage. Route cheap models for research, premium for generation
Automated checks before any publish — source validation, hallucination detection, format compliance
Every run logged. Cost per pipeline stage tracked. Failure notifications to Telegram, email, or webhook
Self-contained execution. No exposed backends. API keys scoped per stage, never in client-side code
Publish to static sites, CMS platforms, newsletters, or APIs — all from the same pipeline
⏰ Example Schedule
Configurable per client — slots, cadence, and templates are defined in YAML, not hardcoded.
❓ FAQ
How is this different from a Zapier / n8n workflow?
Zapier and n8n are great for event-driven integrations. This pipeline is designed for scheduled content production — generation, quality control, and multi-stage publishing that requires LLM reasoning, version control, and deployment orchestration.
What LLM providers do you use?
Provider-agnostic. Common choices: DeepSeek, Claude, Qwen, Gemini, GPT — chosen per stage based on cost vs. quality. The pipeline architecture abstracts the provider so you can switch at any time.
Can this integrate with my existing CMS?
Yes. Pipeline has adapters for Ghost CMS API, WordPress REST API, static site generators (Astro, Hugo, 11ty), headless CMS platforms (Sanity, Strapi), and newsletter services (Buttondown, Beehiiv).
How much does it cost to run?
LLM costs depend on volume and providers chosen — typically $5–30/month for a daily publishing schedule. Infrastructure (cron scheduling, compute, CDN) is $0 on the free tiers. No hidden fees.
What happens if a pipeline stage fails?
Each stage has configurable retry logic. After max retries, the error is logged and a notification fires to Telegram / email / Slack. Stale content is never published — quality gates prevent it.
