I've recently discovered the joy of verbalizing my thoughts and experiences. The process of speaking about my ideas, the steps I take, and the lessons I learn is incredibly fulfilling. While articulating these thoughts can sometimes be challenging, more often than not, the words flow freely. Given my preference for speaking over being on camera, I sought a way to translate my spoken words into written content effortlessly. This led me to explore the possibilities of AI tools and automation.

The result is an amazing AI automation workflow. It starts with me creating a simple document in Google Docs, where I dictate my thoughts using Wispr Flow. This AI-powered tool transcribes my speech into text with remarkable accuracy, often eliminating the need for extensive revisions. Once the transcription is complete, the file is saved in Google Drive, triggering the next phase of the automation. Make, an automation platform, detects the new file and extracts the text. It then feeds the text into Gemini, an AI model, with a prompt to summarize and refine it into a well-structured article with specific headings. Gemini then formats the summarized content into a JSON file, organizing the data in a tabular format. This structured JSON file is then parsed and used to populate a Google Sheet. Each new JSON file creates a new row in the sheet, with columns corresponding to the blog's subheadings. The content is automatically placed into the appropriate columns, creating a well-organized draft. The creation of a new row in the Google Sheet triggers Webflow CMS to import the data, linking the sheet's rows to the corresponding headings in the CMS. Finally, upon detecting a new CMS item in the collection list, Webflow publishes the blog post to the website. The website design is set up to automatically generate a thumbnail for each new post, using a background color and the title in a bold format. This ensures that even if a custom image isn't immediately available, the blog post is still visually appealing. The entire process is monitored by Make, which checks the Google Drive folder every 15 minutes for new files, ensuring that the pipeline is executed seamlessly. It's truly amazing to see my spoken words transformed into a published blog post with minimal effort!
I've learned the power of combining different AI tools to create a streamlined workflow. This process has not only saved me time but also allowed me to focus on the creative aspects of content creation. The automation ensures consistency and efficiency, while the AI tools enhance the quality and structure of the final product.
