Discover how I automated my blog creation using AI, turning spoken thoughts into published articles with minimal effort.

From spoken word to published post: My AI-driven blog automation workflow.
Like many, I find a unique joy in speaking and communicating my thoughts. The moment ideas take shape, I feel compelled to articulate them. While writing can sometimes be a hurdle, simply speaking comes naturally. However, the initial friction with cameras and traditional writing methods led me to explore a novel solution: an AI-powered automation workflow that transforms my spoken words into polished blog posts. My current workflow leverages a suite of AI tools to streamline the entire process. It begins with me speaking my thoughts freely into a microphone. I'm even using it right now. Wispr Flow, an AI-powered transcription service, meticulously converts my voice into text. The accuracy is astounding; I rarely need to make corrections. This transcribed text is automatically saved as a file in my Google Drive. From there, the magic truly begins. Make, an automation platform, detects the new file in Google Drive and extracts the text. This text is then fed into Gemini, where I use a carefully crafted prompt to summarize and refine the content into a well-structured article, complete with relevant headings. Next, another Gemini prompt transforms the refined text into a structured JSON format, essentially creating a tabular representation of my blog post. This organized JSON file is then parsed and used to populate a Google Sheet. Each new blog post triggers the creation of a new row in the sheet, with columns corresponding to the title and subheadings. The content is automatically placed into the appropriate cells. This new row creation triggers yet another automation. Webflow CMS, my content management system, connects to the Google Sheet. It uses the headings in the sheet to map the content to the corresponding fields in the CMS. Finally, when Webflow detects a new CMS item in the collection list, it automatically publishes the post to my website. To enhance the visual appeal, I've designed my website so that each new post automatically generates a thumbnail. The thumbnail features a background color and the blog post title in bold text. This ensures that even if I don't have a custom image immediately available, the blog post is still visually engaging with a title. Make continuously monitors my Google Drive folder every 15 minutes. When it detects a new file, it initiates and executes the entire pipeline. This workflow allows me to create blog posts simply by speaking my mind. It's truly amazing! As the saying goes, "The best way to predict the future is to create it.", and I believe this automation is a step towards creating a more efficient and streamlined content creation process.
