- 💰 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
Purpose: Transform source content into multiple derivative formats
Supported Paths (14 total):
| Source Content | Target Formats |

| Newsletter | Social Post, Ad Copy |
How It Works:
- User clicks “Repurpose Content” on approved content
- Selects target formats and platforms (for social posts)
- System creates Activities for each derivative
- Worker processes batch (0.5 credits per derivative)
- Each derivative goes through DM → Client approval
- Derivatives can be edited before publishing

}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
- Validate batch - Check repurposing matrix for valid paths
- Reserve credits - Calculate and reserve upfront (batch total)
- 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
- Record analytics - Save batch metrics to RepurposingAnalytics
- Send notification - In-app notification with success count
- Release unused credits - Refund for failed derivatives
- 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:
reserveCredits(tenantId, totalCredits)- Reserve upfront- For each successful derivative:
consumeCredits(tenantId, 0.5) - For failed derivatives: Credits remain reserved
releaseCredits(tenantId, unusedCredits)- Refund at end
