Overview

The Content Repurposing Engine is a comprehensive system that transforms approved content into multiple platform-optimized derivatives with a single click. It’s designed to maximize content ROI while maintaining quality through a 2-gate approval process.

  • 💰 Cost Efficiency: 50-75% cheaper than creating content from scratch
  • 🎯 Platform Optimization: Content tailored for each channel
  • 📊 Full Visibility: Analytics tracking for ROI measurement
  • ✅ Quality Control: Maintains 2-gate approval (DM → Client)
  • 🎨 Customization: Template system for brand voice consistency

Business Impact

  • For Agencies: Increase content output 4x without hiring more writers
  • For Brands: Get more mileage from every piece of content
  • For Teams: Reduce manual repurposing work by 80%

Core Features

1. Content Repurposing Engine

Technical Architecture

Database Schema

Activity Model (Extended):

model Activity { // ... existing fields ... sourceDeliverableId String? // ID of source deliverable (e.g., blog_post.id) sourceActivityId String? // ID of source activity (for activity → activity repurposing) derivativeType String? // Type of derivative (social_post, email_newsletter, etc.) sourceVersion Int? // Version number of source at time of repurposing }

RepurposingTemplate Model:

model RepurposingTemplate { id String @id @default(cuid()) tenantId String? // null = global template sourceType String // blog_post, report, social_post, newsletter targetType String // social_post, email_newsletter, ad_copy, etc. name String description String? promptTemplate String @db.Text creditCost Float @default(0.5) isActive Boolean @default(true) createdAt DateTime @default(now()) updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt }

RepurposingAnalytics Model:

model RepurposingAnalytics { id String @id @default(cuid()) tenantId String batchId String // Unique ID for this repurposing batch sourceType String // blog_post, report, etc. targetType String // Comma-separated: social_post,email_newsletter sourceContentId String // ID of source deliverable derivativeCount Int // Number of derivatives created totalCreditsUsed Float // Total credits consumed completedAt DateTime createdAt DateTime @default(now()) }

Queue Architecture

Queue Name: agent__content-repurposer
Pattern: Shared queue across all tenants
Isolation: Via tenantId in job payload

Job Data:

interface ContentRepurposerJobData { tenantId: string; agentRole: "content-repurposer"; batchId: string; sourceContent: { id: string; type: "blog_post" | "report" | "social_post" | "newsletter"; title: string; content: string; }; targetFormats: Array<{ activityId: string; type: "social_post" | "email_newsletter" | "ad_copy" | "thread" | "carousel" | "landing_page"; platform?: string; // For social posts }>; wakeReason: WakeReason; }

Worker Configuration:

  • Concurrency: 3 parallel jobs
  • Rate Limit: 10 jobs/minute
  • Retries: 2 attempts
  • Backoff: Exponential (5s initial delay)

Worker Processing Flow

  1. Validate batch - Check repurposing matrix for valid paths
  2. Reserve credits - Calculate and reserve upfront (batch total)
  3. Process derivatives - Loop through target formats:
    • Build prompt (template + source content)
    • Call Claude API for generation
    • Save derivative (SocialPost, EmailNewsletter, etc.)
    • Update Activity status to dm_review
    • Consume credits for successful derivative
  4. Record analytics - Save batch metrics to RepurposingAnalytics
  5. Send notification - In-app notification with success count
  6. Release unused credits - Refund for failed derivatives
  7. Audit log - Record repurposing action

Credit Management

Pricing:

  • Repurposing: 0.5 credits per derivative
  • Original creation: 1.0-2.0 credits (varies by content type)

Example:

  • Blog post → 5 derivatives = 2.5 credits (repurposing)
  • 5 separate creations = 8.0 credits (avg 1.6 per piece)
  • Savings: 68% (5.5 credits)

Flow:

  1. reserveCredits(tenantId, totalCredits) - Reserve upfront
  2. For each successful derivative: consumeCredits(tenantId, 0.5)
  3. For failed derivatives: Credits remain reserved
  4. releaseCredits(tenantId, unusedCredits) - Refund at end

  • 40% of approved blogs get repurposed
  • 4.5 avg derivatives per blog
  • 80% derivative approval rate
  • 15 hours saved per tenant per month
